Chapter 2: Configure a SG510
You need to configure a SG510 the first time you power it on to set the basic
network parameters and to make sure that the SG510 hardware and software are
working properly.
Overview of First-Time Configuration
There are four ways to configure a SG510 the first time you power it on. Each of
these methods of configuring a SG510 let you make the basic network settings
required to test the connection and functionality.
