CyberGuard SG PCI appliances can also connect to the Internet in this manner, but
generally will be connecting directly to a LAN by selecting either Direct Internet or
Bridged Internet.

Physically connect modem device

The first step in connecting your office network to the Internet is to physically attach your
CyberGuard SG appliance to the modem device.

Note

If you are configuring an analog modem or ISDN connection as your primary Internet
connection, proceed to the section entitled COM/Modem.

Connect your CyberGuard SG appliance‘s Internet port to the modem device using a
straight through Ethernet cable. Apply power to the modem device and give it some time
to power up. If fitted, ensure the Ethernet link LEDs are illuminated on both the
CyberGuard SG appliance and modem device.

Internet Connection Methods

Select your Internet connection type from the Configuration pull down menu.

Cable

Select your cable ISP from the list and click Next. If your provider does not appear,
select Generic Cable Modem Provider. For cable modem providers other than
Generic, enter your user name and password and click Finish. You are now ready to
connect. Click the Reboot button to save your configuration and reboot your
CyberGuard SG appliance.

ADSL

If you are connecting to the Internet using ADSL, you must select the connection method
PPPoE, DHCP, or Manually Assign Settings. Alternatively, the CyberGuard SG
appliance can determine the connection method automatically (recommended). Select
the appropriate method and click Apply.
