Now that your IR network parameters are set, you can physically connect the unit
to your network. This step requires two standard CAT-5E cables.
NOTE: This section requires you to restart the IR. If you wish to relocate the IR before
connecting it to the network, you must first shut down the server instead of restarting it. To
shut down the IR, go to the Web Filter navigation panel, click Control, and then select
ShutDown. Once the server is shut down, you must power on the IR and then log back
into the Web Filter Administrator console.
A. Restart the server using the steps defined below (i-iii). These steps must always
be performed when restarting the IR. Never reset the server by using the power
or reset buttons.
i. From the navigation panel of the System section of the Web Filter console,
click Control and select Reboot from the menu to display the Reboot window.
ii. Click the Reboot button.
iii. From the time you click Reboot, you have approximately 2 minutes to
perform sub-steps B through E while the IR goes through the reboot process.
B. If you used a crossover cable for the quick start setup procedures, disconnect
that crossover cable from the IR.
C. Plug one end of a standard CAT-5E cable into the IR's LAN 1 port.
D. Plug the other end of the CAT-5E cable into an open port on the network hub
that handles the Internet traffic you wish to filter.
E. Repeat sub-steps B and C for the IR's LAN 2 port.

F. Wait until the reboot process has completed, indicated by the drive light staying
off for 30 seconds. This process may take 5 to 10 minutes.
NOTE: If you receive a connection failure message during the reboot process, please
disregard it, as this often occurs when there is a change in the IP address.
