Connect the VPN Firewall
If you use cable modem service, you must set up the VPN firewall using
the same computer that you used when you first set up your Internet
connection. If you use DSL service, you might need your DSL service login
name and password.
¾ To connect the VPN firewall:
1. Power off your computer.
2. Power off your modem and unplug the power supply.
3. Locate the Ethernet cable connecting the computer and the modem.
4. Disconnect this Ethernet cable from the computer only.
5. Connect the Ethernet cable coming from the modem to the WAN port
on the VPN firewall.
6. Connect the Ethernet cable that came with your VPN firewall into a LAN
port on the front of the firewall.
7. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable coming from the VPN
firewall LAN port to the LAN port on your computer.
Your VPN firewall is connected and you are now ready to restart your
network.
WARNING: Failure to restart your network in the correct sequence might
prevent you from connecting to the Internet.
8. Connect your modem's power supply to your modem and power it on.
Wait two minutes for the modem to boot.
9. Connect the VPN firewall's power supply.
Wait one minute for the firewall to boot.
10. Turn on your computer.
Note: For DSL customers, if ISP-provided software logs you in to the Internet, do
not run that software. You might need to go to the browser Tools menu, Internet
Options, Connections tab, and disable autodialing.
Verify Your Connection
Check the VPN firewall LEDs to verify that the VPN firewall is connected.
• Power. The Power LED lights solid green. If it does not light solid green,
check that the power adapter is connected to an AC outlet.
• Test. The Test LED lights when the firewall is first turned on and then goes
off. If after two minutes it is still lit, see the Troubleshooting Tips in this
guide.
• WAN. The WAN port LED lights. If it does not, make sure that the Ethernet
cable is attached to the VPN firewall WAN port and the modem. Also, make
sure that the modem is powered on.
• LAN. There are two LEDs for each LAN port. The green LED on the upper
left indicates network activity. The right LED indicates communication
speed. It is green for 1000 Mbps, amber for 100 Mbps, and off for 10
Mbps. If the LAN port LED is not lit, check that the Ethernet cable from the
computer to the firewall is attached at both ends, and that the computer is
on.
