2. Installing the HotBrick VPN 800/2 Firewall Router in your LAN
1. Ensure the HotBrick VPN 800/2 Firewall Router and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
Leave the modem or modems connected to their data line.
2. Connect the Broadband modem or modems to the VPN 800/2 Firewall Router.
• If using only one (1) Broadband modem, connect it to the "WAN 1" port.
• Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a
standard cable.
3. Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the VPN 800/2 Firewall
Router.
• Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.
• If you need to connect the VPN 800/2 Firewall Router to another Hub, just use a standard
LAN cable to connect any port on the VPN 800/2 Firewall Router to a standard port on
another hub. Any LAN port on the VPN 800/2 Firewall Router will automatically act as an
"Uplink" port when required.
4. Power Up
• Power on the Cable or DSL modem or modems.
• Connect the supplied power core to the VPN 800/2 Firewall Router and power up.
5. Check the LEDs
• The Power LED should be ON.
• The WAN – Link LED should be ON, if the corresponding WAN port is connected to a
broadband modem.
• The Error LED will flash during start up, but will then turn off. If it stays on, there is an error
condition.
• For each PC connected to the LAN ports, the corresponding LAN LED (either 10 or 100)
should be ON.
