Silex technology SX-500-1402 manual Logical Ports, Port Name Description, Led

PHYSICAL PORTS

The physical ports on the SX-500 are as follows:

Port Name	Description
Power	Jack for attachment of external power supply
Ethernet	RJ-45 connector for attachment of Ethernet cable
Serial	DB-9 connector for attachment of serial interface cable
Wireless	RP-SMA connector for attachment of an external antenna
Button	Momentary push button
LED	Green, Yellow and Orange LEDs

For installation and connection of the interface ports, refer to Chapter 2.

Logical Ports

The SX-500 has logical interfaces for transfer of data and for configuration and control of the unit. These logical interfaces may share a physical port. The application firmware in the SX-500 separates and routes the data to the appropriate internal firmware task associated with the logical interface. For network ports (Ethernet, Wireless) this separation is based on the TCP or UDP protocol port number. For the serial port, data or control/status mode is controlled by specific protocol strings, only one mode is active at a time. Serial port control/status mode is only available if the unit is explicitly configured to allow it. The following table describes the logical interfaces of the unit when operating in a FIPS 140-2 approved mode.

FIPS-140-2 Interface	Physical	Logical Interface
	Interface
Data Input	Serial	Plaintext data for transmission to network
	Ethernet	Plaintext data for bridging to wireless
