1.2.1 Detailed Explanation for the Connector
Here provides you detailed explanation for some specific connectors that you have to be familiar.
The RS232 Connector
The RJ45 connection jet is used for CLI commands for system configuration and control functions in the Vigor3300 Series. The jet is used for initialization of the Vigor3300 Series during preliminary installation. The “management cable”, as shown in Figure 1-5, converts the RJ45 to the RS232 interface. The RJ45 jet connects to a console interface in theVigor3300 Series, while the RS232 DB9 connects to a console port on the computer. The default setting of the console port is “baud rate 57600, no parity, and 8 bit with 1 stop bit.”
Standard 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Interface Connector
RJ45 jets provide 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interfaces. The interface supports MDI/MDIX auto-detection of either straight or crossover RJ45 cables. These cables are used on WAN, LAN, and DMZ interfaces.
Chassis Connections
The Vigor3300 Series can be mounted on a rack by using standard brackets in a 19-inch rack or optional larger brackets on 23-inch rack (not included). The bracket for 19- and 23-inch racks are shown below.
Attach the brackets to the chassis of a 19- or a 23-inch rack (as shown in the Figures 1-8 and 1-9). Repeat the above procedure for the second bracket, which attaches the other side of the chassis.
