Connecting The Appliance To An Ac Power Source; Connecting The Appliance To The Network - IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Installation Manual

Connecting the appliance to an AC power source

Use the provided power cords to connect both power supply modules to an AC
power source. You must connect each power supply module. Otherwise, the
unconnected module is considered to be in a failed state.

Connecting the appliance to the network

Use Ethernet cables or transceivers (not provided) to connect the appliance to its
neighboring network devices (link partners), such as switches or load balancers.
Attention: Do not connect to telephone or other telecommunication circuits.
Do not use a cable that is longer than 100 meters.
The Ethernet port on the appliance must be connected to a compatible link partner,
preferably set to auto-negotiate connection speed and mode (half duplex or full
duplex). Depending on the negotiated or static connection speed and mode, ensure
that the cable complies with the following requirements:
1 gigabit per second (1 Gbps) connection
100 megabits per second (100 Mbps) connection
10 megabits per second (10 Mbps) connection
To make the serial connection, use the following procedure:
1. Use a serial cable to connect the terminal or PC to the CONSOLE connector on the

flow control operation. 8N1 is a notation for a serial configuration in
asynchronous mode, where there are eight (8) data bits, no (N) parity bit, and
one (1) stop bit. The terminal emulation suggested for the terminal or PC is
VT100.
