Installing the ET1000A

3Plug an SFP Gigabit transceiver into the ET1000A remote port. If you are using an optical SFP, insert the fiber cable in the SFP and connect the other end to the untrusted network, typically via a router port. If you are using a copper SFP, use a shielded Category 5 straight through cable.

4Plug a second SFP Gigabit transceiver into the ET1000A local port. If you are using an optical SFP, insert the fiber cable in the SFP and connect the other end to the local device, such as a server or switch. If you are using a copper SFP, use a shielded Category 5 straight through cable.

NOTE

The Gigabit management and Aux1 ports are not enabled in this release.

Powering on the ET1000A

Review the following guidelines prior to powering up the ET1000A:

The ET1000A has two power supplies. We recommend that you connect the power cords to separate live circuits to provide redundancy in the case of a power outage on one of the circuits.

When manually cycling the power, remove power on both circuits, wait five seconds, and then reapply power on both circuits.
