Connect SSR120 to External Devices

Connect SSR120 to a Management Console

Ensure that you have an RJ-45 to DB-9 rollover cable available. An RJ-45 cable with an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter is provided with the appliance.

Note:

If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 pin contact and you want to connect your laptop or PC directly to the SSR120, use a combination of the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter supplied with the appliance and a USB to DB-9 plug adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9 plug adapter.

SSR120 has a console port (CONSOLE) with an RJ-45 connector. Use the console port to connect the appliance to a management console or to a console server. The default baud rate of the console port is 115200 bps.

To connect the SSR120 to a management console (see Figure 1 and Figure 2):

  1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the console port (labeled CONSOLE).
  2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the console server (see Figure 1) or management console (see Figure 2).
