SSG 5 Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide

Connecting a Device to an Internal Network or Workstation

You can connect your local area network (LAN) or workstation with the Ethernet
and/or wireless interfaces.

Ethernet Ports

An SSG 5 device contains seven Ethernet ports. You can use one or more of these
ports to connect to LANs through switches or hubs. You can also connect one or all
of the ports directly to workstations, eliminating the need for a hub or switch. You
can use either crossover or straight-through cables to connect the Ethernet ports to
other devices. See "Default Device Settings" on page 27 for the default
interface-to-zone bindings.

Wireless Antennae

If you are using the wireless interface, you need to connect the provided antennae
on the device. If you have the standard 2dB diversity antennae, use screws to attach
them onto the posts marked A and B at the back of the device. Bend each antenna
at its elbows, making sure not to put pressure on the bulkhead connectors.
