F2 System Panel: LCD System Panel
The LCD System Panel can be programmed to display operating status and configuration information. For more details or
sample programming code, please refer to
Appendix B Programming the LCM
F3 Reset Switch
The reset switch can be used to reboot the system without turning off the power.
F4 Console Port
By using suitable rollover cable or RJ-45 to DB-9 Female (Cisco console cable), you can connect to a computer terminal for
diagnostic or configuration purpose. Terminal Configuration Parameters: 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit , no
flow control.
F5 Two USB 2.0 Ports
It connects to any USB devices; for example, a flash drive.
F6 Management Port
This FastEthernet port can be connected for configuration or troubleshooting purpose. Or it can be used as a WAN port.

Using suitable RJ-45 cable, you can connect FW-7580 System to a computer, or to any other piece of equipment that has
an Ethernet connection; for example, a hub or a switch. Moreover, 1 pair (LAN5-LAN6) can be configured as LAN Bypass
when failure events occur. This feature is implemented in hardware using watch dog timer functionality. Refer to
Appendix
D Programming Lan Bypass
for a sample implementation of this feature.
Note:
The number of LAN ports varies depending on the model.
