5. Connecting the Steelhead Appliance to Your Network
Make sure you use the correct cables to connect to your network:
– Straight-through cables: Primary and LAN ports to LAN switch.
– Cross-over cable: WAN port to WAN router.
Plug the straight-through cable into the Primary port of the Steelhead appliance and the LAN switch.
This can be any port on your LAN switch that is configured to connect to a host.
Identify the straight-through cable that connects your LAN switch to your WAN router; unplug the
end connected to the WAN router.
Plug the straight-through cable that you disconnected from the WAN router into the LAN port of the
Steelhead appliance.
