Chapter 2: Installation
2.1 Installation Requirements
Before installing CS-2000, make sure your network meets the following requirements.
- Mechanical Requirements
CS-2000 is installed between your Internet connection and local area network. You can place it on the
table or rack, and locate the unit near the power outlet.
- Electrical Requirements
CS-2000 is a power-required device, which means, it will not work until it is powered. If your network PCs
will need to transmit data all the time, please consider use an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your
CS-2000. It will prevent you from network data loss. In some area, installing a surge suppression device
may also help to protect your device from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the CS-2000.
- Network Requirements
In order for CS-2000 to secure your network traffic, the traffic must pass through the device at a useful
point in a network. In most situations, CS-2000 should be placed behind the Internet connection device.
