2 Installation
Preinstallation
Installing the GB-750 requires that the system be connected to your local
area network (LAN). This allows the administrator to connect to the GB-750,
configure the network settings to match the local network address scheme and
perform connectivity tests. The GB-750 can be configured and administered
using any of the user interfaces. Installation procedures for GBAdmin and the
Web user interfaces are described in this document.
Note that the IP Address 192.168.71.254 is the factory setting for the
Protected Network interface (0) port on the GB-750.
Install Utilities and Documentation
Prior to installation of the GB-750, install the utility software and docu-
mentation on your workstation. If the workstation is running Windows 95,
98, NT, Me, XP or Windows 2000, there is an automated installer on the
Installation CD that will install these files. If the workstation is running a non-
Windows based OS (e.g., Macintosh or Unix) or an older version of Windows,
locate the directory on the CD-ROM for your OS and use the Read Me docu-
ment to install the documentation and utility programs.
Temporarily Configure Workstation
The factory network information settings on the GB-750 are unlikely to match
your network, so you must temporarily configure a local workstation to match
the GB-750's network information settings in order to configure the GB-750
and integrate it into your network.

Once you are able to connect to the firewall, the network information can be
changed to match the existing address scheme on your network and you can
reset your local machine to its original IP Address.
