Power Connector
The Power connector (PWR) is used to connect the external power supply to the ProxyServer.
Command Port Connector
The Command connector (CMD) is used to configure the ProxyServer using a PC with a serial port
and running Windows® software. The Command connector is an RJ-45 jack and is used with the RJ-
45 to DB-9 command port cable provided with your ProxyServer. The command port is only used to
connect the ProxyServer directly to the PC for local configuration and management.
Note: If your PC has a DB-25 (25-pin) serial port connector, you will need to obtain a DB-9 (9-pin,
male) to DB-25 adapter. Connect the DB-25 end of this adapter to the serial port on your PC, and
then connect the DB-9 (9-pin, female) end of the Command Port cable to the adapter.
Ethernet 10BaseT Connector
The Ethernet 10BaseT connector (LAN) is used to connect the ProxyServer to a LAN using
unshielded twisted cable. This connector is an RJ-45 connector.
WAN Link Connectors
The WAN Link connectors (WAN1, WAN2, WAN3) are used to connect the ProxyServer to a WAN.
These connectors are RJ-45 connectors.
Power Switch
The Power switch is located on the right side of the chassis. Settings are ON (switch moved toward
the rear of the unit) and OFF (switch moved toward the front of the unit).
