Ethernet and Console Port Considerations
There are two network interface connectors (NIC 1 and NIC 2) on the rear panel of the
Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance. Both ports use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Cisco
recommends at least a Category 5, 5E, or 6 UTP cable. The maximum segment distance is 328 feet (100
meters). The UTP cables look like the cables used for ordinary telephones; however, UTP cables meet
certain electrical standards that telephone cables do not. (See the

The appliance includes an asynchronous serial console port, which provides access to the appliance
locally (using a console terminal). The following sections describe important cabling information to
consider before connecting a console terminal—either an ASCII terminal or a PC running
terminal-emulation software—to the console port. (See the

NIC 1 and NIC 2 (RJ-45) Ethernet Connections
The NIC 1 and NIC 2 connections support 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T standards. The
transmission speed of the Ethernet ports is autosensing by default and is user configurable.

Serial (Console) Port Connections
The console port on the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance includes an EIA/TIA-232
asynchronous serial (RJ-45) connector. This serial console connector (port) allows you the capability to
access the appliance locally by connecting a terminal—either a PC running terminal-emulation software
or an ASCII terminal—to the console port.
