Connecting the Device

Connect Power and Turn the Device On/Off
Connect the power cord to the receptor on
the back panel of the DFL-210/DFL-260 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-210 or DFL-260 to boot up completely.
Connecting the Device to a Network
This section provides basic information about
physically connecting the DFL-210 or DFL-260
to a network. Follow the steps below to
connect the firewall as shown in Figure 3.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the
DFL-210/DFL-260 to your Cable/ DSL
modem. If the Cable/DSL modem is
powered on, wait for the WAN LED on the
DFL-210/DFL-260 to light up to show a
proper connection. Otherwise, turn off your
Cable/DSL modem, connect the Ethernet
cable from the DFL-210/DFL-260 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 the LAN1 port
on the rear panel of the DFL-210/DFL-260
and connect it to a port on your network hub
or switch. The LAN port LED light on the
DFL-210/DFL-260 will illuminate to indicate
proper connection.
3. Connect the computer that you will use
to configure the DFL-210/DFL-260 to the
network hub or switch.
