Connect the power cord to the receptor on the
back panel of the DFL-260E/860E and then plug
the other end of the power cord to a wall outlet or
power strip. After the power LED turns on, you
need to wait 1-2 minutes for the DFL-260E/860E
to boot up completely.
Connecting the Device to a Network
This section provides basic information about
physically connecting the DFL-260E/860E to a
network. Follow the steps below to connect the
firewall as shown in Figure 5.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the
DFL-260E/860E to your Cable/ DSL modem. If
the Cable/DSL modem is powered on, wait for
the WAN LED on the DFL-260E/860E to light
up to show a proper connection. Otherwise,
turn off your Cable/DSL modem, connect the
Ethernet cable from the DFL-260E/860E to
your Cable/DSL modem, and turn on the Cable/
DSL modem. Some Cable/DSL modems may
not have an on/off switch and will require you to
unplug the power adapter.
2. Insert an Ethernet cable to one of LAN ports on
the rear panel of the DFL-260E/860E and
connect it to a port on your network hub or

DFL-260E/860E, or change the DHCP settings on
your router.
