26 IP560 Security Platform Installation Guide
The console cable provided with the IP560 is comprised of two parts:
a 6’ rollover cable with RJ-45 terminations
an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter
One RJ-45 termination has a retractable shroud that releases or secures the
RJ-45 tab. Use this end of the cable when connecting to the console port of the
IP560. You can easily remove the console cable by pulling back on the
shroud.
On the opposite end of the console cable, connect the RJ-45 to the DB-9
adapter, which you can then connect to the host terminal.
Auxiliary Port
Use the built-in serial (AUX) port, shown in Figure 1, to establish a modem
connection for managing the appliance remotely or out-of-Band. The default
configuration of the serial ports are: 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop.
bit.Figure 4 provides pin assignment information for modem connections.
