IDS-509G Hardware Installation Guide
Ports
10/100/1000Base-T Ports
These ports provide the standard gigabit Ethernet interface. They provide speeds of 10/
100 or 1000 Mb/s through twisted pair (UTP) cables of up to 100 meters (328ft) in length.
1000Base-X fiber Ports
These ports are built in fiber modules that provide 1000Base-X (1000Mb/s) fiber connec
-
tivity. These fiber ports are available on the switches in a variety of distances and wave
-
lengths. SC or ST connectors are available as well as single mode, multi mode, duplex and
simple models. Consult the full model list at

RJ-45 Console Port
This is a console management port providing access to the switch management function
using the industry standard CLI command set. This port has an RJ-45 connector. See RJ-
45-Console Port Pinouts.
USB Console Port
The MicroUSB port is an alternative connection to the switch’s console. This provides
access to the switch management function using the industry standard CLI command set.
When connected the port presents a serial interface that can be used from a PC Terminal
emulation program (such as PuTTY).
Power Connector
The power input connector has provisions for dual inputs. Two independent power
sources can be used to power the switch. If one power input fails, the other power input
will power the switch.
Alarm Relay Connector
The Alarm Relay can be energized by the software or hardware under certain conditions.
It can then be used to trigger an external alarm circuit such as a light or sounding device.
This connector provides both Normally opened (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) dry con
-
tact on the connector block, both are associated with the same relay.
Digital Input Connector
Two Digital Inputs are provided that can be used for the generation of alarms (SNMP trap,
energizing of on board Alarm Relay etc.).
