Connecting to the network

At this point, you must connect the

to your network for remote management and regular use.

The system typically interfaces with the following user types:

• Operators log in using a web browser and navigate the system's dashboards, reports, and analysis tools.
• Enterprise management software (EMS) applications use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to retrieve the health of users, functions, or servers at regular intervals.
• Extract, transform, and load (ETL) tools download raw data in table format using HTTPS. Comma-separated data is then inserted into databases for offline analysis with Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) or business intelligence (BI) tools.

1. Connect one end of the white straight-through Ethernet cable to the management port the back of the appliance.
2. Connect the other end to the switch or router that links to the system's network segment.
