Reviewing the panel and ports
The image below provides an overview of the appliance’s ports, buttons and screen:
Object Description
Ports Port 1 is the default interface.
All other ports can be used to provide internal networking zones and external connections.
If required, you can configure ports 3 and 4 to be shorted together to provide a bypass port.
This leaves the client network with unfiltered network access without having to re-cable.
Console Can be used to connect a console and administer the appliance.
USB ports Connection of external storage devices and keyboard, if required.

appliance.

applying mains power should automatically start it.
