Connecting Data Cables to AR725 or AR745
Connect the AR725 or AR745 router to your network:
1. Connect to the LAN.
If you have not already done so, use straight-through Ethernet patch cables
to connect the device(s) on your private network (LAN) to the router’s
Ethernet ports.
2. Connect to the DMZ port.
If you have a public server, use an Ethernet patch cable to connect it to the
router’s Ethernet1 port. Separating public servers from your LAN allows
the firewall to provide greater protection for your LAN. If you have
multiple public servers, you can connect them to a hub or Layer 2 switch
and connect that device to the router’s DMZ port.
3. Connect to the WAN.
Caution If you intend to use a firewall, configure it before you activate the
WAN link.
Once initial configuration is complete, connect the router to the WAN:
connect a PIC port to a WAN connection. See the Port Interface Card Quick
Install Guide and Hardware Reference.
