Assigning Flexible Ports
Your CheckBox HSv530a has six Gigabit capable Ethernet network ports. One port is
dedicated for local connections—connecting to your access points and switches serving
devices on your network. Another port is dedicated for the first Internet connection.
There are four other ports, labelled A through D that can be used for either local or Inter-
net connections.
By default the four flexible ports are deactivated. If you plug a cable into one of these four
ports they system will ignore the connection until you assign the port as Local or Internet.
Normally you will only make changes to these ports when you first set up your CheckBox
or after adding or deleting an Internet connection.
To change port assignments go to Network Setup -> Port Assignment.
Select the port you want to activate and click on it to cycle through different settings:
Not Used -> Internet -> Local and then back to Not Used again.
After you have made the selections for each port press the update button below.
Depending upon the change made your system may require a reboot. If a reboot is re-
quired you will be prompted to confirm the reboot. Your system will then reboot, taking
about 90 seconds to complete the reboot.
If you have added any Internet connections and those connections need to be assigned
a static Ip address you will need to go to Network Setup -> Internet and enter your static
IP information for each connection requiring static IPs. If your connection does not need
static IPs you can skip this step.
If you have stopped using a port that is set up as Internet, deactivating the port will free
up system resources and in some case may slightly improve system performance.
