Connecting the Cables

  1. Connect the appliance to the power supply and click the power button.

  2. When the appliance is turned on, the Power LED on the front panel lights up in red for a short period.

    The LED then turns blue and starts to blink. This shows a boot is in progress and firmware is being installed.

    When the LED turns a solid blue, the appliance is ready for login.

    Note - The LED is red if there is an alert or error.

  3. Connect the standard network cable to the LAN1 port on the appliance front panel and to the network adapter on your PC.

  4. If you use an external modem:

    Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the appliance back panel and plug it into your external modem or router’s PC/LAN network port. The Internet LED on the appliance front panel lights up when the Ethernet is connected.

  5. Note - Wait 10 seconds between power cycles (off and on).
