2.4.3 Cisco RJ45 pinout (option -X2)
The ACM5000, ACM5500 and IM4216-34 models have Cisco serial pinouts on its RJ45 connectors. The IM4200 console
servers are also available with this RJ45 pinout. This provides straight through RJ-45 cable to equipment such as Cisco,
Juniper, SUN, and many more:
2.5 USB Port Connection
Most console server models have external USB ports and these ports are mostly USB2.0. They can be used for:
ï€ connecting to USB consoles of Managed Devices (e.g. for managing UPS supplies)
ï€ attaching other external USB peripherals (e.g. an external USB memory stick or modem)
ï€ adding supported Sierra Wireless cellular USB modems
ï€ plugging in USB hubs to provide additional ports
Some console server models also have a USB1.1 port and this is best reserved for use with an external USB memory
stick dedicated to recovery firmware boot images/ extended log file storage etc.
ï‚§ The IM42xx-2-DAC-X2-G and IM42xx-2-DAC-X0-G models have one USB1.1 port on the front face and one USB 2.0
port at the rear face. This USB2.0 port uses a micro-AB USB connector so an adapter cable is also included. These
models also have 16GB flash installed internally via a USB 2.0 flash drive for improved logging.
ï‚§ All the other models in the IM42xx-X family (IM42xx-2-DxC-Xx models such as IM4208-2-DAC-X0, IM4248-2-DDC-X2
and IM4216-34-DAC-X2) have one USB1.1 port on the front face and two additional USB 2.0 ports at the rear face
(adjacent to modem jack). These IM42xx-X models also have an internal 16GB flash drive.
ï‚§ The ACM5500 and IM4004-5 models all have an internal 4GB USB flash drive as well as two unallocated external
USB2.0 ports
ï‚§ The ACM5000 models have two USB2.0 ports. However one or both of these may be pre-allocated internally. For
example the ACM5004-W has one internal USB committed for the 802.11 adapter, so there is only one external USB
port free. Similarly with ACM5004-F model an internal USB flash is fitted, using up one of the two USB2.0 ports
2.6 Fitting Cellular SIM and Antennas
The ACM5504-5-G-I, ACM5004-G and ACM5004-G-I each has an internal 3G cellular modem that requires at least
one (or more) SIM cards to be installed and at least one external antenna to be attached. The ACM5004-GV also
has an internal cellular modem requiring external antenna connection however the Verizon network does not
require a SIM card.
