9M port. If the Sensorsoft device is the J-Type (i.e. ST6105J, ST6154J, SM6204J, SS6610J,
SP6400J, SS6402J, SS6201J), then it has an RJ45 connector. In this case, you need to use the P/N
C2000 cable (RJ-45 to DB-9F). Connect the RJ45 end to the Sensorsoft device, and the DB9F end to
the Alert appliance’s DB9M port.
3. Now proceed to the next step in the Alert Quick Start procedure above (i.e. Login to the Alert web
interface ).
Models SSA7004 and SSA7008
The SSA7004 and SSA7008 appliances have 4 and 8 serial ports, respectively, with RJ45 connectors.
These ports are physically located at the back of the appliance and are numbered starting from 1.
Sensorsoft devices should not be connected anywhere else other than these numbered ports. Do not
connect any Sensorsoft device to the Ethernet port or the console port. To connect a Sensorsoft device
to the Alert appliance, follow the procedure below:
1. Determine the model of the Sensorsoft device you are connecting to the Alert appliance. The model is
printed on the plastic enclosure of the Sensorsoft device.
2. If the Sensorsoft device is the SM6201CP model, then it has a built-in cable with a RJ-45 connector at
the end. Connect this cable to a serial port on the Alert appliance. If the Sensorsoft device is the J-
Type (i.e. ST6105J, ST6154J, SM6204J, SS6610J, SP6400J, SS6402J, SS6201J), then it has a RJ45
connector. You would need to obtain the P/N C2016 cable (RJ45 to RJ45). Connect the end labeled
SSD to the Sensorsoft device, and the end labeled ALERT to a serial port on the Alert appliance.
3. Now proceed to the next step in the Alert Quick Start procedure above (i.e. Login to the Alert web
interface ).
