Description

PWR

A power jack used for supplying power to the unit. Connect the supplied power adapter to this jack.

RESET

A button used for rebooting the Safe@Office appliance or resetting the Safe@Office appliance to its factory defaults. You need to use a pointed object to press this button.

  • Short press. Reboots the Safe@Office appliance
  • Long press (7 seconds). Resets the Safe@Office appliance to its factory defaults, and resets your firmware to the version that shipped with the Safe@Office appliance. This results in the loss of all security services and passwords and reverting to the factory default firmware. You will have to re-configure your Safe@Office appliance.

Do not reset the unit without consulting your system administrator.

USB

Two USB 2.0 ports used for connecting USB-based printers or modems

Serial

An RJ-45 serial (RS-232) port used for connecting computers in order to access the Safe@Office CLI (Command Line Interface), or for connecting an external dialup modem.

An RJ-45 to DB9 converter is supplied for your convenience.

Warning: Do not connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 serial port.

DSL

An RJ-11 ADSL port used for connecting the integrated ADSL modem to an ADSL line.

A splitter with a micro-filter is usually required when connecting this port to the phone jack. If unsure, check with your ADSL service provider.

Before connecting this port to the line, make sure that you are using the correct Safe@Office model for your phone line: Annex A for POTS (regular) phone lines, and Annex B for ISDN (digital) phone lines. Your Safe@Office model's ADSL annex type appears on the bottom of the appliance.
