Front and Back Panels
1 Install LiveWire Edge
Attach the included feet and screw one end of
the power supply cable to the DC jack on the
back of LiveWire Edge, and plug the other end
™
of the cable into a reliable power source.
Warning: Do not place anything on top of or on
either side of LiveWire Edge as this may cause
the unit to overheat.
2 Connect LiveWire Edge to the Network
LiveWire Edge can be connected to the network
either inline, through the two bridge ports, or using
any of the three available span ports. The bridge
ports will pass traffic back and forth without
interruption while monitoring the connection
whether or not the device is powered on. The span
ports can be connected to directly from any packet
source.
To do so: disconnect the Ethernet cable between
the router and the modem and plug it into either
of the Bridge ports. Connect a second Ethernet
cable, included in the box, to the other Bridge port
to complete the connection.

Note: If you are using LiveWire Edge to export
LiveFlow data to a LiveNX server, you must
connect port 4 on LiveWire Edge to the WAN side
and port 5 to the LAN side.
3 Connect 'MGMT' Port to Network
Connect the 'MGMT' port on LiveWire Edge to your
network router or switch with an Ethernet cable.
4 Turn on LiveWire Edge
Press the On/Off button next to the power cord.
The lights next to the USB ports will illuminate
and LiveWire Edge will boot up.
Note: This may take several minutes.
5 Identify LiveWire Edge IP Address
LiveWire Edge comes pre-configured to obtain
its IP address via DHCP. The IP address is required
to configure and use LiveWire Edge, as described
in Steps 6 and 7. If you are not familiar with how to
look up the IP address assigned to LiveWire Edge,
please obtain the IP address from your network
administrator. The MAC address on the bottom of
LiveWire Edge is useful in determining the
corresponding IP address.

Note: If an IP address is not assigned to LiveWire
Edge by the DHCP server within two minutes of
being connected to the network, LiveWire Edge
defaults to a static address of 192.168.1.21.

6 Configure LiveWire Edge
LiveWire Edge is ready to use straight out of
the box; however, to change settings with the
configuration utility, use a web browser to
connect to the IP address identified in Step 5.
Settings that can be changed include the device
name, MGMT IP address, time zone, NTP server,
and reporting options: None and Export Data
to LiveNX.
