Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS318v3
Connecting the Firewall to the Internet 3-7
January 2005
Make sure the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.
• The Internet link light on the VPN firewall router will be lit if the Ethernet cable to the VPN
firewall router from the modem is plugged in securely and the modem and VPN firewall router
are turned on.
• For each powered on computer connected to the VPN firewall router with a securely plugged
in Ethernet cable, the corresponding VPN firewall router LOCAL port link light will be lit.
The labels on the front and back of the VPN firewall router identify the number of each
LOCAL port.
Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.
• LAN connected computers must be configured to obtain an IP address automatically via
DHCP. Please see Appendix D, “Preparing Your Network or the animated tutorials on the
Resource CD for help with this.
• Some cable modem ISPs require you to use the MAC address of the computer registered on
the account. If so, in the Router MAC Address section of the Basic Settings menu, select “Use
this Computer’s MAC Address.” The firewall will then capture and use the MAC address of
the computer that you are now using. You must be using the computer that is registered with
the ISP. Click Apply to save your settings. Restart the network in the correct sequence.
Use the status lights on the front of the FVS318v3 to verify correct firewall operation.
If the FVS318v3 power light does not turn solid green or if the test light does not go off within
two minutes after turning the firewall on, reset the firewall according to the instructions in
“Backing Up the Configuration” on page 7-7.
