Hey,
I was wondering if the PA-1420 model had physical alarm contacts or done through ethernet.
Also by looking at the front panel in the datasheet only, I see a USB-C? Can I surmise that this is where the power supply can connect to the firewall?

Hi @emily.nicholson ,
The PA-1420 does not have any physical alarm or dry-contact interfaces; all alarms and status notifications are delivered over the network using the configurable alerts like SNMP, syslog, email alerts, Panorama, etc.
Also, the port on the front panel that appears to be USB-C in the diagram is actually a micro-USB console port. The firewall itself is powered exclusively through the rear AC/DC power inputs.
