The WAN port is autocrossover, so you may use a crossover Ethernet cable or a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect your VSG to a router. 2.2.1.3 Console Port Local management of the VSG is done through the port labeled CONSOLE. It requires a direct connection between the VSG and a computer via a console cable. Refer to chapters on SMT configurations for more information. You can also connect the CONSOLE port to a statement printer (also known as account generator printer, sold separately) with a DB25-male to DB9-male adapter. A statement printer allows you to create and print out subscriber accounts automatically. In addition, you can also print the system status and the account and network reports.

LAN Port

The VSG has one 10/100Mbps Ethernet port. The LAN port is auto-crossover, so you may use

a crossover or a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect your VSG to a computer/external

switch.

If you want to connect more than one Ethernet devices to your VSG, you must use an external

hub/switch. Connect a LAN port on the VSG to a port on the switch using an Ethernet cable.

2.2.1.2

WAN Port

Connect the VSG to a network with broadband Internet service. The WAN port is auto-

crossover, so you may use a crossover Ethernet cable or a straight-through Ethernet cable to

connect your VSG to a router.

2.2.1.3

Console Port

Local management of the VSG is done through the port labeled

CONSOLE

. It requires a

direct connection between the VSG and a computer via a console cable. Refer to chapters on
