Link the Workstation to the ProxyBlocker
The procedures outlined in this sub-section require the use of the CAT-5E crossover
cable.

NOTE: When facing the rear of the chassis, the LAN 2 port is the port on the
right.

B. Plug the other end of the CAT-5E crossover cable into the setup workstation’s net-
work card.
NOTE: If a CAT-5E coupler was packaged with your unit, this coupler can be
used if the crossover cable is not long enough for your setup. Plug one end of the
CAT-5E crossover cable into the ProxyBlocker, and the other end into the coupler.
Plug a standard CAT-5E cable into the other end of the coupler, and the free end
of the standard CAT-5E cable into the setup workstation.
C. Plug the ProxyBlocker into a power source with an appropriate rating.
WARNING: It is strongly suggested you use an uninterruptible power supply.
D. Power on the ProxyBlocker by lowering the bezel and pressing the large button at
the right of the front panel (see diagram below):
