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.
