2 Connecting to BSGX4e

Initial connections

The STATUS LED on the front panel is off and then red during the start-up process. When the LED is steady green, the unit is ready for operation.

Step 2 Connect the Internet cable.

The Internet cable for the BSGX4e is an Ethernet cable from your DSL or cable modem. Connection to other Internet outlets is possible, but these modems are the most common source.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the BSGX4e WAN port on the back panel. See the connection diagram in Figure 1 on page 10 for reference.

After connecting the cable, the WAN LED on the front panel is steady green indicating the link is active. The LED flickers when data is being passed. The LED blinks slow when no signal is detected.

Step 3 Connect your PC to the BSGX4e.

Connect an Ethernet cable from your PC to any of the LAN ports labeled 1–4on the back panel. See the connection diagram in Figure 2 on page 11 for reference.

The front panel contains green LEDs labeled Ethernet 10/100 and 1–4that correspond to the back panel ports.

The LED corresponding to the port where you connected the PC cable is steady green when the link is active. The LED flickers when data is being passed.

These lighting patterns apply to all equipment that you connect to the LAN ports. You are instructed to connect your equipment to the LAN ports after the configuration process.
