radio band, which supports the 802.11b standard at 11 Mbps, the 802.11g standard
at 54 Mbps, and 802.11 SuperG standard at 108 Mbps. The second radio transceiver
(WLAN 1) uses the 5 GHz radio band, which supports the 802.11a standard at 54
Mbps. The two radio transceivers can work simultaneously, For information on
configuring the wireless radio band, see “Wireless Network Configuration” on
page 28.
Grounding Lug
8 Back Panel
A one-hole grounding lug is provided on the back of the chassis to connect the
device to earth ground (see Figure 4).
To ground the device before connecting power, you connect a grounding cable to
earth ground and then attach the cable to the lug on the rear of the chassis.
Antennae Types
The SSG 20-WLAN device supports three types of custom-built radio antennae:
Diversity antennae — The diversity antennae provide 2dBi omnidirectional
coverage and a fairly uniform level of signal strength within the area of
coverage and are suitable for most installations. this type of antennae are
shipped with the device.
External omnidirectional antenna — The external antenna provides 2dBi
omnidirectional coverage. Unlike diversity antennae, which function as a pair,
an external antenna operates to eliminate an echo effect that can sometimes
occur from slightly delayed characteristics in signal reception when two are in
use.
External directional antenna — The external directional antenna provides
2dBi unidirectional coverage and is well suited for such places as hallways and
outer walls (with the antenna facing inward).
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Host Module
The slot labeled USB on the back panel of an SSG 20 device implements a host-only
USB 1.1 host module for a USB device adapter or USB flash key, as defined in the
CompactFlash Specification published by the CompactFlash Association. When the
USB storage device is installed and configured, it automatically acts as a secondary
storage device.
The USB host module allows file transfers, such as device configurations, user
certifications, and update version images between an external USB flash key and
the internal flash storage located in the security device. The USB host module
supports USB 2.0 specification at either low-speed (1.5M) or full-speed (12M) file
transfer.
To use a USB flash key to transfer files between the device, perform the following
steps:
1.Insert the USB flash key into the USB host module on the security device.
2.Save the files from the USB flash key to the internal flash storage on the device
with the save { software | config | image-key } from usb filenameto flash CLI
command.
3.Before removing the USB flash key, stop the host module with the exec usb-device stop CLI command.
4.It is now safe to remove the USB flash key.
If you want to delete a file from the USB flash key, use the delete fileusb:/filename
CLI command.
If you want to view the saved file information on the USB flash key or internal flash
storage, use the get file info CLI command.

To connect the interface cable to a device, perform the following steps:
1.Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the interface.
2.Insert the cable connector into the cable-connector port on the interface
faceplate.
3.Arrange the cable as follows to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress
points:
a.Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to
the floor.
b.Place any excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop.
12 Equipment Rack Installation
c.Use fasteners to maintain the shape of the cable loops.
Connecting the Power
To connect the power to a device, perform the following steps:
1.Plug the DC connector end of the power cable into the DC power receptacle on
the back of the SSG device.
2.Plug the AC adapter end of the power cable into an AC power source.
WARNING: We recommend using a surge protector for the power connection.
Connect the Device to a Network
An SSG 20 device provides firewall and general security for networks when it is
placed between internal networks and the untrusted network. This section
describes the following:
Connecting the device to an untrusted network
Connecting the device mini PIMs to an untrusted Network
Connecting the device to an internal network or workstation
Connect an SSG 20 Device to an Untrusted Network

Connect Mini PIMs to an Untrusted Network
This section explains how to connect the device mini PIMs to an untrusted network.
Connecting the ADSL2/2+ Mini PIM
Connect the provided ADSL cable from the ADSL2/2+ mini PIM to your telephone
outlet. The ADSL port on the Annex A version of the device uses an RJ-11 connector,
while the Annex B version uses an RJ-45 connector. In the case of Annex B models,
the cable you connect from the ADSL port to the telephone outlet is identical in
appearance and wiring to a straight through 10 Base-T Ethernet cable.
14 Connect the Device to a Network
Connecting Splitters and Microfilters
A signal splitter divides the telephone signal into low-frequency voice signals for
voice calls and high-frequency data signals for data traffic. Your service provider
usually installs the splitter as part of the equipment that connects your site
telephone lines to the provider network.
There are also splitters that you may be able to install yourself, depending upon
your service-provider equipment. If you are installing such a splitter yourself,
connect the ADSL cable from the device and the telephone line to the appropriate
connectors (for example, “data” or “voice”) on the splitter. You connect the other
end of the splitter to the telephone outlet.
You may need to install a microfilter on each telephone, fax machine, answering
machine, or analog modem that connects to the ADSL line. The microfilter filters
out high-frequency noise on the telephone line. You install the microfilter on the
telephone line between the telephone, fax machine, answering machine, or analog
modem and the voice connector on the splitter.
Figure 6 shows an example of a microfilter and a splitter that you install on your
site. (You must obtain the appropriate microfilters or splitters from your service
provider.)
