Bandwidth Management - 8e6 Technologies Threat Analysis Reporter TAR Quick Start Manual

Physically Connect the Unit to the Network
After performing initial setup procedures for the Threat Analysis Reporter, the unit should
be physically connected to the network. This step requires a standard CAT-5E cable to
connect the unit to the network. An additional CAT-5E cable is required if the Ethernet
Tap unit will be installed for bandwidth monitoring.
A. Plug one end of a standard CAT-5E cable into the Threat Analysis Reporter's LAN 1
port, the port on the left.
B. Plug the other end of the CAT-5E cable into an open port on the network switch.

Bandwidth Management

If you choose to install the Ethernet Tap for bandwidth monitoring, you will need to con-
nect it to the Threat Analysis Reporter at this point. Refer to Appendix A at the end of this
document for instructions on how to connect the Ethernet Tap unit.
