Connecting and configuring the appliance Supplying power to the appliance If you have DHCP configured on your network, the IP addresses for these ports are now automatically allocated. Transparent bridge mode Use the copper LAN cables (supplied) to connect the appliance's LAN1 and LAN2 switches to your network so that the appliance is inserted into the data stream. Transparent router mode The appliance functions as a router. The LAN segments connected to its two network interfaces must therefore be on different IP subnets. It must replace an existing router, or a new subnet must be created on one side of the appliance. Do this by changing the IP address or the netmask used by the computers on that side. Explicit proxy mode Use a copper LAN cable (supplied) to connect the LAN1 or LAN2 switch to your network. The cable is a straight-through (uncrossed) cable, and connects the appliance to a normal uncrossed RJ-45 network switch. In explicit proxy mode, the unused switch connection can be used as a dedicated management port. To manage the appliance locally, use a crossover Cat 5e Ethernet cable to connect the appliance to your local computer's network card. Using Fiber LAN connections Use the fiber cables to connect the LAN1 and LAN2 connectors to your network. The connectors use depend on how you are going to use the appliance. Transparent bridge mode Use the fiber cables to connect the LAN1 and LAN2 switches to your network. Transparent router mode Use the fiber cables to connect the LAN1 and LAN2 switches to different IP subnets. Explicit proxy mode Use a fiber cable to connect the apliance's LAN1 switches to your network. In explicit proxy mode, the unused connector can be used as a dedicated management port. If your management computer has a compatible Network Interface Card (NIC), connect it to the remaining connector for local management. Monitor and keyboard Connect a monitor and keyboard to the appliance. Supplying power to the appliance Use this task to supply power to the appliance and switch it on.

Transparent bridge mode
Use the copper LAN cables (supplied) to connect the appliance’s LAN1 and LAN2 switches to
your network so that the appliance is inserted into the data stream.
Transparent router mode
The appliance functions as a router. The LAN segments connected to its two network interfaces
must therefore be on different IP subnets. It must replace an existing router, or a new subnet
must be created on one side of the appliance. Do this by changing the IP address or the netmask
used by the computers on that side.
Explicit proxy mode
Use a copper LAN cable (supplied) to connect the LAN1 or LAN2 switch to your network. The
cable is a straight-through (uncrossed) cable, and connects the appliance to a normal uncrossed
RJ-45 network switch.
In explicit proxy mode, the unused switch connection can be used as a dedicated management
port. To manage the appliance locally, use a crossover Cat 5e Ethernet cable to connect the
