• On your laptop or PC, set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and the IP address to 172.24.24.1
• Using a supported browser, connect to https://172.24.24.173

Once you have completed the setup wizard, you may disconnect your laptop or PC.
• Disconnect your laptop from the “Config” port. Do not connect the “Config” port to your LAN.
• If you opt to deploy the Web Appliance as a bridging proxy (optional), you must disconnect your firewall
from the LAN and connect to the “WAN” connector port at the rear of the appliance.
