Performing Initial Setup on a Series 3 Device Using the CLI
SUPPORTED DEVICES: Series 3
Optionally, you can use the CLI to configure Series 3 devices instead of using the
device’s web interface. When you first log in to a newly configured device using
the CLI, you must read and accept the EULA. Then, follow the setup prompts to
change the administrator password, configure the device’s network settings and
detection mode. Finally, register the device to the Defense Center that will
manage it.
When following the setup prompts, options are listed in parentheses, such as
(y/n)
. Defaults are listed in square brackets, such as [y]. Press Enter to confirm
a choice.
Note that the CLI prompts you for much of the same setup information that a
device’s setup web page does. For detailed information on these options, see
Initial Setup Page: Devices on page 93.
To complete the initial setup on a Series 3 device using the CLI:

character. Avoid using words that appear in a dictionary. For more information,
