Hillstone SG-6000 Series Firewall Appliance Installation Manual
Perform the following steps to connect the appliance and the console terminal:
1.
Select a console terminal. You may choose an ordinary PC or a standard ASCII
terminal with an RS-232C serial port.
2.
Connect the console cable. Connect the RJ-45 end of the cable to the Console port of
the appliance, and then connect the DB-9 connector of the cable to the console
terminal.
Connecting the Ethernet Cable
Hillstone products provide Ethernet Electrical ports, SFP ports, XFP ports and Ethernet
Combo ports (Electrical port + Optical port). The electrical Ethernet port can be connected by
a straight-through cable (also called standard cable) or a crossover cable. The SFP port
should use a SFP optical module, which can be connected with crossover cable or
straight-through cable, or use a SFP electric module connected by a single-mode or
multi-mode cable. The XFP port uses single-mode or multi-mode cables to access Ethernet.
All SFP and XFP optical modules of Hillstone products use LC-type optical connector;
therefore, you should connect the optical modules using optical fiber ended with LC-type
connector.
Follow the guidelines below when connecting cables to the ports:
•
Be careful not to connect the Ethernet port to the wrong ports. Read the label above
the port carefully.
•
For electrical Ethernet connection, use crossover cable or straight-through cable.
•
For SFP port connection, the optical module should be inserted into SFP port first, and
install the LC-type connector to the optical module; the electric module should be
connected by crossover cable or straight-through cable.
•
For XFP ports, insert the XFP optical module into the XFP port first, and then connect
the LC-type connector to the module.
•
Note the following items when connecting fiber cables.
•
The curvature radius should be greater than 10cm. Avoid excessive bending of the
cable.
•
Ensure the Tx and Rx ends are connected correctly.
•
Keep the connector of the optical cable clean.
