a
Welcome
screen listing the basic configuration steps is displayed

The computer must have an IP address in the same network range
(192.168.0.x) as the appliance. Alternatively, you can use the
arping
command to set
the IP address (refer to the
User Manual
or online
Knowledge Base FAQ
for details).
The appliance also has DHCP client enabled by default. It will automatically accept any
network IP address assigned by any DHCP server on your network, and will then
respond at both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP address.

Note
:
The appliance’s firewall determines which protocols and services can be
used to access which ports and devices. By default only HTTPS and SSH access is
enabled to the appliance itself. Use the
Service Access
menu on
System: Services
to change settings for the appliance itself (and for connected serial ports). Similarly
using the
Forwarding & Network
menu on
System: Firewall
you can permit IP
access between devices on Network Interface and Management LAN.
