DB-9, RJ-45 and optical connector pin assignments are described in Figure 3 . DB-9 pin assignments follow the EIA232 standard. To make a serial connection from your management system to the console port, use an RJ-45 rollover cable and two female RJ-45-to-female DB-9 adapters. RJ-45 pin assignments follow IEEE 802.3 specifications.

The Network Automation NT-4000 appliance provides dual AC power supplies. Power supplies are hot swappable; any single power supply can be replaced without disrupting the operations of the appliance. The Network Automation NT-4000 also provides two active RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that operate as MGMT port and LAN1 port in the system. The port assignments are from left to right and reflect port assignments as shown in Figure 4 and listed in Table 3 .

Console Port | A male DB-9 serial port for a console connection to change basic configuration settings and view basic system functions through the CLI (command line interface). |
MGMT Port | A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port used for appliance management. You must use the MGMT port for initial appliance setup and for primary system operation. The MGMT port may also be used for scan interface connections to managed networks. |
LAN1 Port | A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that is used for scan interface connections to managed networks. You can enable the LAN1 port and define its use through the GUI after the initial setup. For related information, see Configuring Scan Interfaces |
