Connect MaxAttach to your Network

1.Connect one of the enclosed CAT-5 Ethernet cables to either 10/100 Base T Ethernet port on the back of your MaxAttach. Insert the other end of this cable into a 10/100 Ethernet connection on your network hub or switch. If you connect both Ethernet ports to your network, they are pre-configured to enable fail-over and load balancing. Use the power cord to connect the MaxAttach to a power source.

2.Make sure the main power On/Off rocker switch located at the back of the unit is in the On position. Next, press the soft-power button on the front panel. The power light will begin to flash and continue flashing for several minutes during the power-up cycle. When the power light stops flashing and remains on, your MaxAttach is ready to configure.
