  • A computer with a terminal emulator installed, e.g., PuTTy, configured with a baud rate of 115200, and the PL23XX USB-to-Serial driver installed.

These models do not have ports allowing a monitor to be connected.

SN-L-Series-2200 and SN-L-Series-3200 firewalls

Connection to an SN-L-Series firewall from a computer:

  • A USB-C to USB-A cable provided with the SNS firewall, or an RJ45 to RS232 serial cable provided with the SNS firewall (if necessary, with an RS232 to USB adapter),

  • A computer with a terminal emulator installed, e.g., Putty, configured with a baud rate of 115200, and the PL23XX USB-to-Serial driver installed if the SNS firewall is connected over a USB-C port.

Connection to an SN-L-Series firewall from a monitor:

  • A USB keyboard,

  • A monitor and HDMI cable.

SN-XL-Series-5200 and SN-XL-Series-6200 firewalls

Connection to an SN-XL-Series firewall from a computer:

  • A USB-C to USB-A cable provided with the SNS firewall, or an RJ45 to RS232 serial cable provided with the SNS firewall (if necessary, with an RS232 to USB adapter),

  • A computer with a terminal emulator installed, e.g., Putty, configured with a baud rate of 115200, and the PL23XX USB-to-Serial driver installed if the SNS firewall is connected over a USB-C port.

Connection to an SN-XL-Series firewall from a monitor:

  • A USB keyboard,

  • A monitor and VGA cable.

SN1100 and SN3100 firewalls
