Cabling the Firebox X Edge for more than seven devices
Although the Firebox X Edge has only seven numbered Ethernet
ports (labeled 0-6), you can connect more than seven devices. Use
one or more network hubs to make more connections.
The maximum number of devices that can connect to the Internet
at the same time is set by model. For example, the Firebox X5 has a
five-session license. There can be more than five devices on the
trusted network, but the Edge allows only five Internet connections
at the same time.
The Edge uses a session when it makes a connection between a
computer on the trusted interface and a computer on the external
interface. The Edge releases the session when:
• The session reaches the idle timeout limit
• The session reaches the maximum time limit
• The Edge administrator uses the Firebox Users page to end the
session
• The user ends the session by closing all browser windows
• The Edge restarts.

To connect more than seven devices to the Edge, you need:
• An Ethernet 10/100Base TX hub or switch
• A straight-through Ethernet cable, with RJ-45 connectors, for
each computer
