Chapter 3   Setting up the security gateway 

for configuration

This chapter describes how to set up the security gateway addressing 
and remote connectivity capabilities in preparation for remote 
configuration using the VPNmanager software. This preliminary 
configuration is performed using a browser on your workstation 
connected to the security gateway’s Private Port. The following procedure 
assumes that the security gateway has been physically installed on the 
network, according to the instructions provided in 

The security gateway setup consists of two basic steps:

Establishing connectivity between the workstations or IP devices on 
your local network with the security gateway’s Private Port(s), 

Setting up the security gateway’s Public Port to reach the Internet. 

When the security gateway is initially installed and connected to your 
local LAN, it is provisioned with a default IP address for the DHCP server 
(serving the Private Ports) allowing you to access the device through a 
web browser on your workstation. Through the web interface, you can 
assign a static IP address for the Public Port, password, etc. Once this 
has been done, the security gateway can be incorporated into your Virtual 
Private Network (VPN) by your VPN administrator using remote 
configuration software from a central location.
