Item Description
Ethernet 0/0 to Enables ethernet connections to workstations or a LAN connection
0/3 Ports through a switch or hub. These connections also allow you to
manage the device through a Telnet session or the WebUI.
When configuring one of the ports, reference the interface name
that corresponds to the location of the port. From left to right on the
front panel, the interface names for the ports are ethernet0/0
through ethernet0/3. For the default zone bindings for each
Ethernet port, see "Default Device Settings" on page 33.
USB Port Enables a 1.1 USB connection with the device. See "USB Ports" on
page 13 for more information about using the USB ports.
Console Port The console port is an RJ-45 serial data terminal equipment (DTE)
port that can be used for either local or remote administration. For
local administration, connect the port to a terminal with an
RJ-45-to-DB-9 (female-to-male) straight-through serial cable. For
remote administration, connect the port to a workstation with an
RJ-45-to-DB-9 (female-to-male) serial cable with a null modem
adapter.
See "Connectors" on page 60 for the RJ-45 connector pinouts.
AUX Port The auxiliary (AUX) port is an RJ-45 serial port wired as a DTE that
you can connect to a modem to allow remote administration. We do
not recommend using this port for regular remote administration.
The AUX port is typically assigned to be the backup serial interface.
The baud rate is adjustable from 9600 bps to 115200 bps and
requires hardware flow control.
See "Connectors" on page 60 for the RJ-45 connector pinouts.
