11.3.2 Connecting the network connections
LAN port
• Use a UTP cable (CAT5).
• Connect the LAN port of the device to the corresponding Ethernet network card of the
local configuration computer or a network connection of the local network (LAN).
WAN port
• Use a UTP cable (CAT5).
• Connect the WAN port of the device to the external network or the Internet. (Connec-
tions to the remote device or network are established via this network.)
SYNC port
• Use a UTP cable (CAT5).
• Connect the SYNC port of the device to the SYNC port of a second
FL MGUARD CENTERPORT in order to create a redundancy pair. A redundancy li-
cense for the second FL MGUARD CENTERPORT must be purchased separately.
DMZ port
• Use a UTP cable (CAT5).
• Connect the DMZ port of the device to a network connection of the local network (LAN).
This network is used for communication according to the firewall rules of the demilita-
rized zone (DMZ).
IPMI port
• Use a UTP cable (CAT5).
Serial interface
The serial interface (serial port) can be used as follows:
WARNING: Only connect the device network ports to LAN installations.
Some telecommunications connections also use RJ45 sockets; these must not be con-
nected to the RJ45 sockets of the device.
By default, the IPMI port is deactivated and not documented at this point. The IPMI port
functions can be activated in the BIOS setup of the motherboard. Should you have any
questions on the documentation, please contact Super Micro Computer, Inc.
(http://www.supermicro.com).
NOTE: The serial interface (D-SUB socket) must not be connected directly to telecommu-
nications connections. To connect a serial terminal or a modem, use a serial cable with D-
SUB connector. The maximum cable length of the serial cable is 30 m.
