Connecting the Power
To connect the power to a device, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the DC-connector end of the power cable into the DC-power receptacle on
the back of the device.
2. Plug the AC-adapter end of the power cable into an AC-power source.
We recommend using a surge protector for the power connection.

network.
The port labeled 0/1 (ethernet0/1 interface) is connected to a workstation in the
DMZ security zone.
The port labeled 0/2 (bgroup0 interface) is connected to a workstation in the
Trust security zone.
The Console port is connected to a serial terminal for management access.
