MANAGEMENT CARD, SERIAL CONTROL CARD FOR SERVSWITCH™ MULTI
1.2 The Cards and Cables Illustrated
The Management Card, shown in Figure 1-1, has an RJ-45 female 10BASE-T
Ethernet jack for network and telnet control. It also has a DB9 male connector that
functions as an EIA/TIA RS-232 serial interface (pinned out according to TIA-574,
like the DB9 serial ports of an IBM
®
PC/AT
®
or PS/2
®
computer) so that you can
upload security logs from the Card (see
Section 4.4.7
) or download firmware
upgrades to the Card (see
Section 4.4.4
).

You can run 10BASE-T patch cable, like the Category 5 patch cable shown in
Figure 1-4 on the next page, from the Management Card’s RJ-45 jack to a
10BASE-T hub, router, or switch in your network. You can run a PC/AT type null-
modem cable (shown in Figure 1-2) from the Management Card’s DB9 serial port
to a PC running a terminal emulator.
