CHAPTER 5: Installing Management and Serial Control Cards and Associated Equipment

5.2 The Cards and Cables Illustrated

The Management Card and Serial Control Card are shown in Figure 5-1. The Management Card has a DB9

male connector that functions as an EIA/TIA RS-232 serial interface (pinned out according to TIA-574, like the

serial ports of an IBM PC/AT or PS/2 computer) so that you can upload security logs from the Card (see

Section 10.4.7) or download firmware upgrades to the Card (see Section 10.4.4).

The Serial Control Card has four RJ-45 female connectors. These function as proprietarily pinned EIA/TIA

RS-232 serial interfaces for connection to, and communication with, your servers, hubs, routers, etc.

Figure 5-1. The Management Card (top) and Serial Control Card (bottom).

Figure 5-2 shows the cables you’ll attach to these Cards. You can run a PC/AT (DB9) null-modem cable from

the Management Card to a PC running a terminal emulator.

You can run a Category 5 twisted-pair patch cable from any port on the Serial Control Card to the serial ports

on your equipment. (Connecting this cable to your equipment will require a modular adapter; see Section 5.4.)
