There are three Ethernet ports; one for each of the LAN, DMZ, and WAN ports:

•

Link

Lights up when the

Twisted Pair

port is connected to a 10Mbps or 100Mbps hub or switch,

or directly connected to a computer. Note that the connected Ethernet device must support

the standard Link Integrity test.

•

100

Lights up when the

Twisted Pair

port is connected to a 100Mbps hub or switch or directly

connected to a computer with a 100Mbps network interface.

•

Activity

Flashes when the SonicWALL PRO 100 transmits or receives a packet through the

Twisted

Pair

port.

SonicWALL PRO 100 Back Panel

The SonicWALL PRO 100 back panel is shown below, followed by a description of each item.

•

Reset Switch

Erases the firmware and resets SonicWALL PRO 100 to its factory clean state. This can be

necessary if the administrator password is forgotten, or the firmware has become corrupt.

Instructions for erasing the SonicWALL firmware are Guide.

•

Serial

DB-9 RS-232 Serial port.

•

(3) Twisted Pair (10Base-T, 100Base-T) Ethernet Ports

(3) Auto switching 10Mbps/100Mbps Ethernet ports provide connectivity for both Ethernet

and Fast Ethernet networks. The Ethernet ports connect the SonicWALL PRO 100 to the

LAN, DMZ, and WAN using Twisted Pair cable with RJ45 connectors.

Power Input

Connects to the external power supply that is provided with the SonicWALL PRO 100. The

use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is recommended to protect the SonicWALL

PRO 100 against damage or loss of data due to electrical storms, power failures, or power

surges.

•

Cooling Vents

•

The SonicWALL PRO 100 is convection cooled; an internal fan is not necessary. Do not

block the cooling vents.

•

Power

Lights up when power is applied to the SonicWALL SOHO3 or SonicWALL TELE3.

•

Test

Lights up when the SonicWALL is first powered up and performing diagnostic tests to check

for proper operation. These tests take about 90 seconds. If the Test LED remains lit after

this time, the software is corrupt and must be reinstalled.

There are three network interfaces on the GX Models from left to right:

•

WAN

•

LAN

•

DMZ

The GX 250 includes two Fast Ethernet network interfaces.The GX 650 includes either Fast

Ethernet or 1000Base-SX over Fiber network interfaces. A fourth slot for upgrades is available

on the GX 250.

Two types of network cards are available in the GX series:

•

Fast Ethernet (10/100Base-T)

•

Gigabit over Fiber (1000Base-SX)

GX 250 Front Panel

Three Fast Ethernet interfaces provide connectivity for either Ethernet and Fast Ethernet

networks. The Ethernet ports connect the SonicWALL to the LAN, DMZ, and WAN using

category 5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. There is an additional slot available for

upgrading the appliance. The standard NIC has two LEDs:

•

Link/Activity

The

Link

light is green when a twisted pair connection is made to another Ethernet

device (usually a switch or a hub) on the port. Note that the device connected to the

SonicWALL must support the standard link integrity test. The

Link

LED blinks,

indicating

Activity

, when the SonicWALL transmits or receives a packet through the

Twisted Pair port onto the network.

•

Network Speed

The

Network Speed

LED is not lit if the network speed is 10 Mbps, and the LED is

green if the network speed is 100 Mbps.

•

GX650 Front Panel

Three Gigabit over Fiber ports provide connectivity for Gigabit networks. Before inserting

the cables into the network ports on the fiber optics card, remove the plug from the ports.

The 1000Base-SX interface has the following LED lights:

•

Transmit (TX)

The

TX

light is lit when the network is transmitting data over the network connection.
