STEP 1 Place one of the supplied silicon rubber spacers on the side of the security appliance so that the four holes align to the screw holes.
STEP 3 For a DSL or cable modem, or other WAN connectivity devices, connect an Ethernet network cable from the device to the WAN port on the back panel. Cisco strongly recommends using Category 5E or better cable.
