Your CyberGuard SG appliance needs an IP address suitable for your LAN before it is
connected. You may choose to use the CyberGuard SG appliance’s initial network
settings as a basis for your LAN settings.
Connect the supplied power cable to the power inlet on the rear panel of the CyberGuard
SG appliance and turn on the rear panel power switch.
Connect one of the ports of network switch A (A1 – A4) directly to your PC’s network
interface card using the straight through cable (blue).
Next, you must modify your PC’s network settings to enable it to communicate with the
CyberGuard SG appliance.
Note
It is recommended that you perform the initial setup steps with the CyberGuard SG
appliance connected to a single PC only. However, you may choose to connect the
CyberGuard SG appliance to the LAN before completing the initial setup steps.
Before doing so, it is critical that you ensure there are no other devices on the LAN
with an address of 192.168.0.1.
Use the straight through cable (blue) to connect the CyberGuard SG appliance to your
LAN’s hub.
Next, you must modify your PC’s network settings to enable it to communicate with the
CyberGuard SG appliance.
Click Start -> (Settings ->) Control Panel and double click Network Connections (or
in 95/98/Me, double click Network).
Right click on Local Area Connection and select Properties.
Note
If there is more than one existing network connection, select the one corresponding to the
network interface card to which the CyberGuard SG appliance is directly attached.
