STEP 1
Connect the security appliance to power using the supplied power cord and
adapter. Make sure that the power switch is turned off.

If you are installing the ISA550W and ISA570W, screw each antenna onto a

of the UC 500 or a UC 300 to an available LAN port of the security appliance.
STEP 6
For a UC500 or a UC300, connect an Ethernet network cable from the WAN port of
the UC500 or UC300 to an available LAN port on the back panel of the security
appliance.
STEP 7
