Planning the installation

Before you start the actual installation, we strongly recommend that you gather all the information you will need to install and setup the device. See table 3 for an example of what pre-installment checks you might need to carry out. Completing the pre-installation checks enables you to install and set up your VPN router within an existing network infrastructure with confidence.

The mains outlet that is utilized to power the equipment must be within 1 meter (3 feet) of the device and shall be easily accessible.

CAUTION

Note When setting up your VPN router you must consider cable length limitations, and potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) as defined by the applicable local and international regulations. Ensure that your site is properly prepared before beginning installation.

Before installing the VPN Router device, the following tasks should be completed:

•Create a network diagram (see section “Network information” on page 29)

•Gather IP related information (see section “IP related information” on page 29 for more information)

•Install the hardware and software needed to configure the OnSite router. (See section “Software tools” on page 29)

•Verify power source reliability (see section “Power source” on page 29).

When you finish preparing for your VPN Router installation, go to section “Installing the VPN router” on page 30 to install the device.
