Connecting the Ethernet Interface
The onboard Ethernet interfaces on the Appliance can be used on the following network configurations:
• 10BASE-T
• 100BASE-T
• 1000BASE-T (Gigabit)
It is not necessary to specify which network type you are connected to, as the Appliance will
automatically select the correct network speed.
The onboard Ethernet interfaces can be found at the back of the Appliance and are used for either
Management or WAN. See Section
to see interface assignments.
To connect an onboard interface, insert a Cat 5e cable (or better) into it as shown in the following
image. When the plug is in the correct position a “click” should be heard. The other end of the
cable should be connected to a network.
