Connect the Firebox X Edge
Many people configure their Firebox X Edge e-Series on one computer before they put it on the network.
Use this procedure to connect a computer to your Firebox X Edge:
1. Shut down your computer.
2. If you use a DSL or cable modem to connect to the Internet, disconnect its power supply.
3. Find the Ethernet cable between the modem and your computer. Disconnect this cable from your
computer and connect it to the Edge external interface (labeled WAN 1).
4. Find the green Ethernet cable supplied with your Edge. Connect this cable to a trusted interface (LAN0-
LAN2) on the Edge. Connect the other end of this cable to the Ethernet interface of your computer.
5. If you use a DSL or cable modem, connect its power supply.
6. Find the AC adapter supplied with your Edge. Connect the AC adapter to the Edge and to a power
source.
The Edge power indicator light comes on, then the WAN indicator lights flash and then come on.
For more information about the location and meaning of the indicator lights on the Firebox X Edge, see the
Firebox X Edge e-Series Hardware Guide.
Use only the supplied AC adapter for the Firebox X Edge.
