Connecting the cables
After you have configured the WANJet addresses, you can connect the
network cables. Note that you need to follow this procedure regardless of
the type of mount you installed (front mount or rail mount).
To connect the cables
1. Connect the gray Ethernet CAT-5e cable to the LAN1 port on the
front of the WANJet platform. Connect the other end to your LAN
switch.
2. Connect the red crossover CAT-5e cable to the WAN1 port on the
front. Connect the other end to your WAN router.
3. Optionally, connect an Ethernet cable to the Management port on
the front of the WANJet platform. Connect the other end to your
management network for out-of-band management.
You can now log on to the WANJet appliance remotely by using the
Web UI, and begin activating the license. For details about how to log on
and activate the license, refer to the
