Note
After you turn on the appliance, the Ethernet Link LEDs on both the appliance and on the
remote equipment illuminate to indicate the connection. As data is transmitted or received,
the activity LEDs on the appliance illuminate.
To connect the appliance to other network components, you can order appropriate adapter cables
separately from a cable vendor of your choice.
Two-Port Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet NICs
The IP290 appliance supports Nokia-approved, two-port, fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet NICs
installed in the PMC expansion slot. The IP290 appliance can accommodate one Gigabit

When you purchase a Gigabit Ethernet NIC with your IP290 appliance, the NIC is installed
before the appliance is delivered to you. For information about how to add or replace a NIC, see
Chapter 5, “Installing and Replacing Network Interface Cards.”
