Installing IDS-4210
Note
You can use a 180 rollover or straight-through patch cable to connect IDS-4210 to a port on a
terminal server with RJ-45 or hydra cable assembly connections. Use a M.A.S.H adapter (part
number 29-4077-02) to connect the appropriate cable to a port on the terminal server. For the
instructions for setting up a terminal server, see
Setting Up a Terminal Server, page 1-14
.
Step 4
Attach the network cables.
IDS-4210 has the following interfaces:
•
FastEthernet0/0 is the sensing port.
•
FastEthernet0/1 is the command and control port.
Caution
Management and console ports are privileged administrative ports. Connecting them to an untrusted
network can create security concerns.
Step 5
Upgrade the memory on IDS-4210.
For the procedure, see
Upgrading the Memory, page 2-3
