Use the following procedure to connect to the web-based manager for the first time. 
Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective immediately 
without the need to reset the firewall or interrupt service.

To connect to the web-based manager, you need:

• a computer with an ethernet connection,
• Internet Explorer version 4.0 or higher,
• a crossover cable or an ethernet hub and two ethernet cables.

Set the IP address of the computer with an ethernet connection to the static IP 
address 192.168.1.2 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
You can also configure the management computer to obtain an IP address 
automatically using DHCP. The FortiGate DHCP server assigns the management 
computer an IP address in the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.

Using the crossover cable or the ethernet hub and cables, connect the Internal 
interface of the FortiGate unit to the computer ethernet connection.

Start Internet Explorer and browse to the address https://192.168.1.99.
The FortiGate login is displayed.

Type 

admin

 in the Name field and select Login.

The Register Now window is displayed. Use the information on this window to register 
your FortiGate unit so that Fortinet can contact you for firmware updates. You must 
also register to receive updates to the FortiGate virus and attack definitions.

Note: You can use the web-based manager with recent versions of most popular web browsers. 
The web-based manager is fully supported for Internet Explorer version 4.0 or higher.
