## Setting Up Connections to the Site LAN

An Ethernet cable connects your site local area network (LAN) to the I/O section of the service panel. The cable runs from the panel's User LAN port to either a host or to the LAN's firewall or gateway. For more information on cable connections, see the Sun StorEdge 6920 System Getting Started Guide.

You have the following options in how you connect the system to the site LAN:

- Dynamic or static IP address. The system can get its IP address from your site's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server each time it logs on to the LAN or you can assign a specific IP address that the system always uses.
- The level of access that the system allows from the network.
