includes the following:
2 — Connect Cables
It is recommended that you plug in cables, verify LEDs, and
configure and license the appliance before mounting it in an
equipment rack. Make sure the appliance is on a flat, level
surface when performing the initial configuration. If you would
rather mount the appliance before performing configuration
tasks, skip to Mount the Appliance .
The following procedure describes a typical in-line deploy -
ment for SG - S200, SG - S400, and SG - S500 appliances (as
shown in Figure 1 ). For information on other deployments,
see the ProxySG software documentation, available at:

Make sure to use only straight-through Ethernet cables.
Category 5E cables or better are recommended for
1000Base-T operation. Category 6A cables are
recommended for 10GBase-T operation.
To deploy the appliance and connect cables:
1. Disconnect the Ethernet cable (if there is one) between
the LAN switch and WAN router.
2. Connect the appliance to the LAN switch:

For SG - S200 and SG - S400 appliances, connect an
Ethernet cable to the appliance’s LAN 2:0 port and con -
nect the other end of the cable to the LAN switch.

For SG - S500 appliances, connect an Ethernet cable to
the appliance’s LAN 1:0 port and connect the other end
of the cable to the LAN switch.

The appliance auto-negotiates 10/100/1000 Base-T
speed and duplex settings.
3. Connect the appliance to the WAN router:

For SG - S200 and SG - S400 appliances, connect an
Ethernet cable to the appliance’s LAN 2:1 port and con -

the included grounding wire (10 AWG) to both grounding
studs on the appliance, securing it with the star washers
and M5 nuts. Attach the other end of the grounding wire
to a proper earth-ground.

For SG - S200 appliances, connect the included power
cord to the appliance’s power inlet and connect the
other end of the power cord to a power source.
