Install the Firewall
After unpacking the box and locating the
configuration information, you’re ready to install
the firewall.
Note: You do not have to power down any
equipment to do this, but if you need to move
your computers (perhaps to get to ports in
the back), you may want to shut down the
computers before moving them around.
1. Locate the Ethernet cable currently going
from the DSL or cable modem to the com-
puter that you use to access the Internet.
Note: You must use this cable to connect the
DSL or cable modem to your firewall since
this may be a special cable even though it
looks like other LAN cables.
2. Remove this cable from the computer and insert that end into the Internet port on the
rear panel of the firewall.
3. Use the Ethernet patch cable that came with the firewall to connect the computer to one
of the four numbered local Ethernet ports on the rear panel of the firewall.
4. Connect the power adapter’s cord into the back of the firewall and then plug the adapter
into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).
Note: If you want to connect other computers to the firewall, don’t connect them
now. Do that after you know that the modem/firewall setup works with one
computer.
