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 IP690. 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. Use USB cables with a standard USB A-style
connector and pinout for the AUX port. For Check Point approved modem connections, you will
need a USB to RS232 adaptor.
Note
The only modem approved for use with Check Point security appliances with USB AUX
ports is the Radicom model V92MB-U-E, and you must be using IPSO 6.1 or greater.
System Status LEDs
You can visually monitor the status of the IP690 security platform by checking the system status
LEDs. The system status LEDs are located on the center of the front panel, as shown in
Figure 3 .
