I/O Modules Overview (TPS TXE Devices)

Use these instructions to set up the I/O modules supported in your Trend MicroTM TippingPointTM TPS TXE security devices.

Before You Begin

• Review the release notes for your product for any late-breaking changes to the installation instructions.
• Read and follow all safety information listed in documentation that shipped with your product.
• Complete the installation of your TippingPoint security device.

ESD Requirements

Damage from Electromagnetic Static Discharge (ESD) can occur when electronic components are improperly handled. Improper handling can result in complete or intermittent system failures. Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle equipment. The following general grounding guidelines apply:

• Always use an ESD wrist strap when adding or removing components from the chassis.
• Avoid touching the circuit boards or connectors on all cards and modules.
• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the body. ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage

Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container that is also grounded to the same point as the device. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding container.

I/O Module Options

?TPS TXE devices support both standard I/O modules and bypass I/O modules (refer to the following table) for fiber and copper components.

Stop inbound threats. Secure outbound data.

More than 90 percent of all email is spam. With the rise of targeted spear phishing, even your savviest employees can mistakenly click on a malicious link and expose your enterprise to cybercrime.

Trend Micro™ InterScan™ Messaging Security provides the most comprehensive protection against both traditional and targeted attacks. Using the correlated intelligence from Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ and optional sandbox execution analysis, it blocks spam, phishing, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). The included hybrid SaaS deployment option combines a powerful gateway virtual appliance with a SaaS prefilter that stops the majority of threats and spam in the cloud-closer to their source. This hybrid solution delivers the best of both worlds: the privacy and control of an on-premises appliance with an in-the-cloud pre-filter for resource efficiency and proactive protection.

The Data Privacy and Encryption Module solves the toughest regulatory compliance and data protection challenges by securing outbound data. This optional module offers easy-to-use identity-based encryption and customizable data loss prevention (DLP) templates for quick deployment.
