Router's WAN port.

require protection. It can also be used for testing purposes or for
bypassing AlphaShield’s security features.

Trouble Shooting:
My AlphaShield Professional Edition does not power up. Why?
Ensure that you are using the provided wall mount power adapter (9 volt DC. 200 mA
center positive) shipped with the AlphaShield Professional Edition and not some other
power adapter.
Make sure that there is 110 volts AC or 220 volts AC being provided through the wall
outlet (In North America 110 VAC).
If all of the above is correct, then the provided adapter could be faulty.
The Inbound data link status LED does not come on when I connect my
AlphaShield Professional Edition to my cable or xDSL Modem. Why?
Make sure that power is being supplied to your cable or xDSL Modem and that it is
switched on. Make sure that the Network RJ-45 (Ethernet) cable is the same as that
provided by the Modem manufacturer or your ISP.
