Chapter 3
Connecting the FVS328 to the Internet
This chapter describes how to set up the firewall on your Local Area Network (LAN) and connect
to the Internet. You can perform basic configuration of your FVS328 ProSafe VPN Firewall with
Dial Back-up using the Setup Wizard, or manually configure your Internet connection.
What You Will Need Before You Begin
You need to prepare these three things before you can connect your firewall to the Internet:
1.
A computer properly connected to the firewall as explained below.
2.
Active Internet service such as that provided by a DSL or Cable modem account.
3.
The Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your account.
LAN Hardware Requirements
The FVS328 Firewall connects to your LAN via twisted-pair Ethernet cables.
To use the FVS328 Firewall on your network, each computer must have an installed Ethernet
Network Interface Card (NIC) and an Ethernet cable. If the computer will connect to your network
at 100 Mbps, you must use a Category 5 (CAT5) cable such as the one provided with your firewall.
The broadband modem must provide a standard 10 Mbps 10BASE-T or 100 Mbps 100BASE-T
Ethernet interface.
LAN Configuration Requirements
For the initial connection to the Internet and configuration of your firewall, you will need to
connect a computer to the firewall which is set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from
the firewall via DHCP. The computer you use must have a Web browser such as Internet Explorer
v5 or greater or Netscape Communicator v4.7 or greater.
Note:
Please refer to
Appendix D, "Preparing Your Network"
for assistance with DHCP
configuration.
