The process followed by the Installation Wizard is described in the
following sections:
■
Configuring Basic Settings
■
Configuring WAN Settings
■
Configuring LAN Settings
■
Confirming Firewall Settings
Setting up a
Management
Station
The Firewall has the following default settings:
■
IP address — 192.168.1.254
■
Subnet mask — 255.255.255.0
To access the Installation Wizard you must configure a computer to be in
the same subnet. This computer will be referred to as a Management
Station.
Follow the steps below to configure a computer as a Management
Station:
1 Note the IP address and subnet mask of the Management Station. You
will need to return your Management Station to these settings when you
have finished using the Installation Wizard.
2 Change the IP address to a value within the Firewall’s default subnet. This
will be a value between
192.168.1.1
and
192.168.1.254
but not
192.168.1.254
as this is already taken by the Firewall. A suitable address
would be
192.168.1.20
if this is not already taken by another device.
3 Enter
http://192.168.1.254/
(the Firewall’s default IP address) into the
box at the top of the browser window. The Installation Wizard is
displayed on screen and will guide you through the configuration
described in the sections below.
4 Remember to change the IP address and subnet mask of you
Management Station back to their original values when you have finished
configuring the Firewall using the Installation Wizard.
Configuring Basic
Settings
When the Installation Wizard first starts it displays a welcome screen
shown in Figure 7 below.
