Sophos RED Appliances
Connecting branch office PCs to the RED appliance
At the branch office, use standard Ethernet cables to connect the PCs to the LAN
ports (LAN1-LAN4) of the RED appliance, either directly or via a network switch.
Use the orange Ethernet cable (from the scope of supply) to connect the WAN port
of the RED appliance to the interface of your router or cable modem that connects to
the Internet.
Connecting the RED appliance to the power supply
Connect the RED appliance to the power supply from the scope of supply. Plug the
power supply into the electrical outlet. The Power LED will light.
After the system has booted, it will connect to the Internet. The status LEDs System,
Router, and Internet will light:
System booted
Router reachable
Internet connectivity up
If all four status LEDs are flashing (from left to right and vice versa), the device is
installing a new firmware version.
Important note: Do not unplug the power while the firmware is updating. Otherwise
the RED appliance will be rendered inoperable and must be returned to the reseller.
Establishing a tunnel between the branch office and the central UTM Gateway
The RED appliance will now automatically retrieve its configuration file from the
Internet and establish an encrypted tunnel to the central office. The Tunnel LED will
now light:
Tunnel up
If any of the four status LEDs is not lit or if the System LED is red and blinking, please
refer to “Controls and LED codes” section below to identify the error.
