3.5 Rear Panel Description
3.5.1
Serial DB9
The SERIAL connector port is a shielded DB9 Female and is cabled to the COM port of any
compatible network tool or PC where terminal emulation software resides. The cable is a parallel
straight-through cable (EIA232 Standard, DRL512-2M-R serial cable, DB9 M/F straight thru)
with no cross-overs or self-connects in the connector hoods.
3.5.2
Rear Labeling
Identifiers for Serial Number (SN), Media Access Control (MAC) address, certification
compliance, input power requirements and various other information is provided. Serial number
may be requested for support inquiries.
3.5.3
Input Power Ports
Two DC input power sockets are provided on the rear panel.
Although only one switching AC adapter power supply is
required to power the configurable unit, use of a second
independent power source is strongly recommended to assure
uninterrupted monitoring.
