Installing the PIX 506/506E
Place the PIX 506/506E on a flat, stable surface. The PIX 506/506E is not rack mountable.
Complete these steps to install the PIX 506/506E :
Step 1 Connect the cable so that you have either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector on one end as required by the serial
port for your computer, and the other end is the RJ-45 connector.
Note Use the RJ-45 Console port to connect a computer to enter configuration commands. Locate the
serial cable from the accessory kit. The serial cable assembly consists of a null modem cable
with RJ-45 connectors, and one DB-9 connector and one DB-25 connector.
Step 2 Connect the RJ-45 connector to the PIX 506/506E and connect the other end to the serial port connector
on your computer.
