Connect hardware and connect to site network using an Ethernet LAN

This section explains how to connect the Connect IT hardware and then connect to a site network, using an Ethernet WAN cable.

Prerequisites

• CAT 5/6 Ethernet cable, which must be purchased separately.

To connect the hardware and connect to a site network:

1. Connect the power supply and fan units to the device. See Connect the power supplies and fans.
2. Plug the power supply unit into an AC power outlet and connect the other end to the Power plug on the Connect IT 16/48.
3. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your site network.
4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet ETH2 port on the Connect IT 16/48. By default a DHCP request will be sent to the local Ethernet network.
