location of an IPS

Subject: location of an IPS

I'm sorry for this dumb question, which may have been answered many times.

Where should one place an TippingPoint Unity 50 IPS device? Behind or in front of a firewall?

I have a/the TippingPoint behind a Check Point firewall. Even though we externally and internally port-scanned the firewall and the IPS many times, the activity log did not contain any record of the "attacks".

What am I missing here?  Any pointers are appreciated.

Thanks,
