server room.

•   To access the Web UI Setup Wizard, connect to the WatchGuard XCS using one of these 

methods:

     o  

Connect your computer to the same network as the WatchGuard XCS through a 

network switch. Connect the WatchGuard XCS to the network switch using the 

first onboard Ethernet connector (NIC 1) at the left side of the back panel.

     o  

Connect your computer directly to the WatchGuard XCS using a cross-over 

Ethernet cable connected to the first onboard Ethernet connector (NIC 1) at the 

left side of the back panel.

•   The default IP address on the WatchGuard XCS is 10.0.0.1/24.

•   Configure your computer to use the IP address 10.0.0.2 with a netmask of 

255.255.255.0 to connect to the WatchGuard XCS.

•   Power on your device. Wait at least five minutes for the system to initialize before you 

try to connect to the WatchGuard XCS with a web browser. 

NOTE: Ping is enabled on the configured network interface. You can ping the default address 10.0.0.1 to 

check connectivity before you connect with a web browser.

•   Open a web browser and type 

https://10.0.0.1

 to start the Web UI Setup Wizard. 

NOTE: Because the XCS device uses a self-signed certificate, you may see a certificate warning in your 

browser. It is safe to ignore the warning (Internet Explorer) or to add a certificate exception (Mozilla Firefox).

•   On the Login page, type the default user ID (

admin

admin

).
