Getting Started with the 
Configuration
The security appliance is pre-configured with default settings that allow you to 
begin using the device right away. However, you may wish to adjust these 
settings or enable special features. The Configuration Utility includes a 
Getting Started page that makes it easy to complete the most common 
configuration tasks.
Typical tasks include:
  • Configure the WAN and LAN connectivity.
  • Upgrade the firmware.
  • Change the default administrator password.
  • Configure the security settings.
  • Configure the VPN connections.
  • Configure the wireless settings (SA520W).
Click a link on the Getting Started page to choose a task that you want to 
perform. When the configuration page appears, enter the information, and then 
click Apply to save your settings. Click Getting Started in the menu bar to 
return to the Getting Started page. 
To configure features that are not included on the Getting Started page, you 
can use the buttons on the menu bar and the links in the navigation tree.
