Connecting the Cables: ET0100A
The procedure in this section describes how to connect the ET0100A to your network devices, as shown
in Figure 25.
To cable the ET0100A:
1 For initial setup, connect the RS-232 port directly to a PC or workstation using a DB-9 null modem
cable. This cable can be removed after initial setup is complete.
2 Connect the 10/100 Ethernet management port to a LAN using a Category 5 shielded twisted pair
(STP) cable with an RJ-45 connector.
3 Connect the remote port to the untrusted network, typically via a router port, using a Category 5 STP
cable with an RJ-45 connector.
4 Connect the local port to the local device, such as a server or switch, using a Category 5 STP cable
with an RJ-45 connector.
