Do the initial configuration of the SecurePlatform appliance with the First Time Configuration

Starting the First Time Configuration Wizard
To start the First Time Configuration Wizard:
1. Connect a standard network cable to the appliance's management interface and to your
management network.
The management interface is marked MGMT. This interface is preconfigured with the IP
address 192.168.1.1.
2. Connect to the management interface, from a computer on the same network subnet as the
management interface.
For example: IP address 192.168.1.x and netmask 255.255.255.0. This can be
changed in the WebUI.
3. To access the management interface, open a connection from a browser to the default
management IP address: https://192.168.1.1:4434.
Note - Pop-ups must always be allowed on
https://<appliance_ip_address>.
The login page opens.
4. Log in to the system using the default login name/password: admin/admin and click Login.
Note - The features configured in the wizard are
accessible after completing the wizard via the
WebUI menu. The WebUI menu can be accessed
by navigating to
https://<appliance_ip_address>:4434.
5. Change the administrator password, as prompted. The default password gives you access
to the appliance. For security purposes, you must change it to a more secure password.
In the Password recovery login token section, download a Login Token to use if you forget
the password. We recommend that you save the password recovery login token file in a
safe storage.
