To configure the mGuard via the serial interface. There are two options:
– A PC is connected directly to the serial interface of the mGuard (via the serial interface
of the PC). The PC user can then use a terminal program to configure the mGuard via
the command line.
– Or a modem is connected to the serial interface of the mGuard. This modem is connect-
ed to the telephone network (fixed-line or GSM network). The user of a remote PC,
which is also connected to the telephone network via a modem, can then establish a
PPP (Point-to Point Protocol) dial-up line connection to the mGuard and configure it via
a web browser.
To manage data traffic via the serial interface instead of via the WAN interface of the
mGuard. In this case, a modem should be connected to the serial interface.
7.3.3 Installation in a 19" frame/industrial cabinet
The mains connecting cables of the power supply units are used as mains disconnect
points. Sockets that can easily be accessed and that are close to the device must therefore
be used for the mains plug. Unplug the mains plug to disconnect the device from the mains.
If the device is installed in a control cabinet where the sockets cannot be accessed, an ad-
equate disconnecting device must be installed during installation (e.g., an approved discon-
nector).
Sufficient air circulation must be ensured. If several mGuard centerport² devices are
stacked, one or 19'' fan trays must be provided to discharge the accumulated warm air. The
control cabinets used must conform to the requirements of fire-protection casings and me-
chanical protection according to EN 60950-1.
For information on installing the mGuard centerport², please refer to the "Quickrails instal-
lation instructions" provided with the device.
