CONNECTING THE DEVICE
Using the instructions below, connect the NetScreen-5GT Wireless device and prepare
to configure the device to protect your network. Use the LEDs on the front panel of the
device to help you determine the device status.
Step 1
Connect an Ethernet cable from the Untrusted port of the
NetScreen-5GT Wireless device to the external router or cable or
DSL modem.
Step 2
Note: You can only access the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW)
through one of the Trusted Ethernet interfaces.
• If the workstation is in a LAN (see diagram), connect an
Ethernet cable from the Trusted port to the internal switch or
hub.
• If the workstation is a single workstation, connect an Ethernet
cable from the Trusted port directly to the Ethernet port on the
workstation. Juniper Networks recommends this connection
method.
Step 3
Connect the power cable between the NetScreen device and a
power source. Juniper Networks recommends using a surge
protector.
a. Ensure that the Power LED glows green. This indicates the
device is receiving power.

Step 4
Configure the workstation to access the NetScreen device via a web
browser:
a. Ensure that your workstation is properly connected to your LAN
(see diagram).
b. Change the TCP/IP settings of your workstation to
automatically, via DHCP, obtain its IP address from the
NetScreen device. For help, see the operating system
documentation for your workstation.
Note: Ensure that your internal network does not already have a
DHCP server.
c. If necessary, restart your workstation to enable the changes to
take effect.
