To the LAN ports of the RED, you can connect multiple computers or a switch. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect the Sophos RED to the <strong>power outlet<\/strong>. The <strong>power LED<\/strong> starts to light up constantly. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Sophos RED will now boot and the <strong>system LED<\/strong> will start to light up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After a correct boot process, the RED receives an <strong>IP from the provider modem<\/strong>. If this process was successful, the <strong>router LED<\/strong> will start to light up. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, the Sophos RED connects to the Internet. During this process, the <strong>Internet LED<\/strong> flashes. When the RED has connected to the Internet, the LED will be on steady and the <strong>VPN config file<\/strong> will be downloaded.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the RED has received all the data it needs for the VPN connection, it will attempt to establish a VPN tunnel. This is signaled by a flashing of the <strong>tunnel LED<\/strong> on the front of the RED. When the VPN tunnel is up, the LED lights up constantly.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Finally, just make sure that a <strong>DHCP<\/strong> is enabled for the <strong>RED network<\/strong> on the Sophos UTM at the <strong>main site<\/strong> and that Internet access has been enabled for the clients.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> If the RED hangs on one of the four LEDs during setup, it is also immediately apparent where the error lies.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> If the status LEDs blink rotating from left to right after starting the RED, the RED is installing new firmware. <strong>Do not turn off the RED!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional information<\/h2>\n\n<p>If this guide wasn&#8217;t enough, you can find more information in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avanet.com\/assets\/sophos-operating-instructions-sd-red-20-60-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sophos RED Quick Start Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sophos Central Intercept X Advanced<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Sophos RED makes it very easy to connect a remote office or home office to the corporate network.
