Initial Conguration
The NetDefendOS software is pre-installed on
the DFL-800/DFL-860 device. When the device
is powered on, it is ready to be congured. While
the device has a default factory conguration
that allows you to initially connect to the device,
you must perform further conguration for your
specic network requirements.
Using the WebUI
To use the WebUI, the workstation from which
you are managing the device must initially be on
the same subnetwork as the device.
Note: DFL-800/DFL-860 allows either HTTP
or a secure HTTPS connections from any
management host. However, for security reasons,
only a secure HTTPS connection is allowed by
default. For more information about conguring
connections settings, please refer to the Firewall
User Manual.
To access the device with the WebUI:
Connect your workstation on the LAN port 1.
labeled 1.
Ensure your workstation is congured with a 2.
static IP address in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
Note: Disable pop-up blocking software
or add the management IP address
https://192.168.1.1 to your pop-up blocker’s
allow list.
Launch your browser; enter the IP address for 3.
the LAN1 interface, then press Enter.
(The factory default IP address is
https://192.168.1.1)
