Installing LiveWire Edge 1515
To install LiveWire Edge:
1. Attach the included rubber feet (4) to the bottom of LiveWire Edge and place LiveWire Edge on a flat surface.
2. Attach the power adapter by screwing in the connector on the adapter to the power-in socket on the back panel.
3. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a reliable power source.
CAUTION: Do not place anything on top of or directly next to LiveWire Edge. Any obstructions to the heat sink located on top of LiveWire Edge can cause the unit to overheat.
4. Connect LiveWire Edge to the network to capture traffic:
◦ From the Bridge ports: To use the Bridge ports, connect LiveWire Edge inline on a network segment. In this mode, connect Port 7 (eth6, Bridge) to the side of the network with the upstream router; and connect Port 8 (eth7, Bridge) to the LAN side of the network.
◦ From the remaining RJ45 span ports: To use the span ports, connect LiveWire Edge directly to a span port from a switch or router.
◦ From the SFP ports: To use the SFP ports, install the 1 Gb SFP optic and connect your fiber cable to a fiber port on switch or packet broker.
5. To configure and use the LiveWire Edge, connect Port 4 (eth3, MGMT) to the network.
