When you are ready to attach the segment cables, use the procedures in “Attaching Port
Cables” on page 51 .
Attaching the Console Management Cables
The SSR 2000 has two ports for attaching management consoles to the SSR 2000.
• A male DB-9 DCE port for direct serial connection from a terminal. Use this port to
perform basic setup, including setting up the SSR 2000 for management through the
network using CoreWatch or SNMP.
• An RJ-45 10/100Base-T DTE port for Telnet connection from a host on the network. The
port is configured for Media Data Interface (MDI). You use this port to manage the
SSR 2000 using CoreWatch or SNMP.
Connecting to the Serial Port
Figure 13 shows where to plug in the cable to the SSR 2000’s serial port. The procedure
following the figure describes how to set up and insert the cable.
