Connector
Description

DB-9 Serial

Figure 2-11 lists the pin number assignments for the 9-pin D-subminiature serial port connector.

Modem Line-in

The MARS Appliance has a V.90 modem for sending SMS and pager alerts. Connect the line-in port to the wall jack using the provided standard telephone cable (RJ-11 connectors).

Modem Line-out

You can connect a POTS telephone to the telephone port with a standard telephone cable
(RJ-11 connectors).

VGA Port

Connect a monitor to this standard VGA port, and a keyboard to the keyboard port to view the console logs and to access the command line interface.

Keyboard

PS/2 keyboard connector. To access the console logs, or the command line interface connect a keyboard to the keyboard connector and a monitor to the VGA port.

Centronics Parallel Port

Integrated Ethernet NIC connectors
(eth0 and eth1)

10/100/1000-megabit-per-second (Mbps) autosensing Ethernet ports (autosensing detects line speed and duplex mode). MARS supports the operation of both Ethernet connectors.

Each Ethernet connector provides all the functions of a network expansion card and supports the 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-TX Ethernet standards.

The MARS Appliance monitors network traffic destined to the IP address assigned to eth0. The eth0 connector is the port to which the gateway command applies. Therefore, eth0 must be attached to the network from which the reporting devices are accessible. The eth1 connector is typically used as an out-of-band management network, which provides faster graphical user interface (GUI) response to the administrator. To use eth1, you must define static routes to the destination networks for that interface.


DB-9 Serial Port

The integrated serial port on the back panel of the appliance uses a 9-pin D-subminiature connector.

If you reconfigure your hardware, you may need information regarding the pin number and signal for the serial port connector. Figure 2-10 illustrates the pin numbers for the serial port connector and defines the pin assignments and interface signals for the serial port connector. (Pin numbering proceeds bottom to top and right to left, as illustrated.)
