Initial Configuration
Connect an Ethernet cable to port
5
as shown in
Figure 1
above. Do not use any other port for initial web
configuration. Connect the other end to the Ethernet cable to the computer you will be performing the
initial configuration from.
Make certain the network interface card on the PC is configured for DHCP in
order to access the web configurator upon initial setup.
Connect the
WAN
interface from ISP/Modem to port

shown in
Figure 1
. Static IP configurations such as
PPPoE or PPPT are configured later.
Connect the power cable to port
10
as shown in
Figure 1
of the unit; insert the power adapter connector to
a power source and power the unit up. The pfSense SG-2440 will boot and be ready for the initial
configuration after approximately two minutes.
Once the system is booted, the attached computer should receive a 192.168.1.1 IP address from the DHCP
server that is active on the pfSense appliance.
Logging into the web interface
Browse to https://192.168.1.1 to access the web interface. In some instances, the browser will respond with
a message indicating a problem with an untrusted certificate. This is normal as the pfSense system issues a
self-signed certificate.
Figure 2
is a typical example from Google Chrome. If this message or similar
messages are encountered, it is safe to proceed.
