Cascading Your Appliance
The Safe@Office appliance protects all computers and network devices that are connected
to its LAN and DMZ ports. If desired, you can increase the appliance's port capacity by
cascading hubs or switches.
To cascade the Safe@Office appliance to a hub or switch
1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable to one of the appliance's LAN ports or to its
DMZ/WAN2 Ethernet port.
The Safe@Office appliance automatically detects cable types, so you can use either a
straight-through or crossed Ethernet cable.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet hub or switch.
3. Connect additional computers and network devices to the hub or switch as
desired.
Preparing the Appliance for a Wireless Connection
To prepare the Safe@Office wireless appliance for a wireless connection
1. Connect the antennas that came with your Safe@Office wireless appliance to
the antenna connectors in the appliance's rear panel.
2. Bend the antennas at the hinges, so that they point upwards.
