3Com 6000 manual Console Terminal Cable, Router to LAN Connection, AC power socket recommended

26Chapter 2: Installation

AC power socket (recommended)

You are recommended to use a three-terminal single-phase power socket with ground contact, which must be grounded reliably. Normally, the ground contact of the power supply system in a building was buried during construction and cabling. Still, before connecting the AC-input power cord, you must make sure that the power supply of the building is well grounded.

Console Terminal Cable

Console port

The Router 6000 provides an RS232 asynchronous serial console port (CON) for router configuration. For its attributes refer to “The RPU Module” or “The RPU2 Module”.

Console cable

A console cable is an eight-wire shielded cable. At one end of the cable is a crimped RJ-45 connector to the console port on the router; at the other end of the cable is a DB-9 (female) connector to the serial port on the console terminal.

The following figure illustrates the console cable.

Router to LAN Connection

Ethernet interface

The RPU provides two 100BASE-TX FE interfaces. For their attributes, refer to the section “The RPU Module”.

The RPU2 provides three 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet interfaces that each accommodate an RJ-45 connector and an SFP module respectively for electrical and optical connections.
