PIX 506 Installation Steps
The PIX 506 should be placed on a flat, stable surface. The PIX 506 is not rack mountable.
Follow these steps to install a PIX 506:
Step 1 Use the RJ-45 Console port to connect a computer to enter configuration commands. Locate the serial
cable from the accessory kit. The serial cable assembly consists of a null modem cable with RJ-45
connectors, and one DB-9 connector and a DB-25 connector. Connect the cable as shown in Figure 2-3
so that you have either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector on one end as required by the serial port for your
computer, and the other end is the RJ-45 connector.
Connect the RJ-45 connector to the PIX 506 and connect the other end to the serial port connector on
your computer.
