2.2.1.1 LAN Port
The VSG has one 10/100Mbps Ethernet port. The LAN port is auto-crossover, so you may use
a crossover or a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect your VSG to a computer/external
switch.
If you want to connect more than one Ethernet devices to your VSG, you must use an external
hub/switch. Connect a LAN port on the VSG to a port on the switch using an Ethernet cable.
2.2.1.2 WAN Port
Connect the VSG to a network with broadband Internet service. The WAN port is auto-
crossover, so you may use a crossover Ethernet cable or a straight-through Ethernet cable to
connect your VSG to a router.
2.2.1.3 Console Port
Local management of the VSG is done through the port labeled
CONSOLE
. It requires a
direct connection between the VSG and a computer via a console cable. Refer to chapters on
SMT configurations for more information.
You can also connect the
CONSOLE
port to a statement printer (also known as account
generator printer, sold separately) with a DB25-male to DB9-male adapter. A statement printer
allows you to create and print out subscriber accounts automatically. In addition, you can also
print the system status and the account and network reports. Set the function of the console
port in the web configurator (see
2.2.1.4 PMS Port
Use a DB9 console cable to connect the
PMS
