Making a Connection

All the connection ports are on the rear panel of the BroadGuard. Follow the steps below to complete the hardware installation.

step1. Connect to a cable/DSL modem - Two cables are supplied with the SOHOware NBG800. The white cable (straight-through) is for connecting a cable modem to the Cable/DSL port; the green one (cross-over) is for connecting a DSL modem to the cable/DSL port.

Plug one end of the cable into the cable/DSL port of the BroadGuard and the other end into the Ethernet port of the cable/DSL modem. If the cable is connected correctly, the Cable/DSL LED will remain lit (the cable/DSL modem must be turned on). If not, try switching the cables, green for white

step2. Connect to the PCs - Use a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable (not provided) to connect the Ethernet LAN adapters in the computers to the BroadGuard LAN ports

step3. Install the power adapter - Plug the power adapter into an AC power outlet. Plug the other end into the BroadGuard. The Power LED should light immediately

Note: Use only the power adapter supplied with the BroadGuard
