Configuration using the Setup Wizard
The Web Configuration Manager contains a Setup Wizard that can automatically determine your
network connection type. If the Setup Wizard does not launch automatically, click on the Setup
Wizard heading in the upper left of the opening screen, shown in
Figure 4-2
.
When the Wizard launches, allow the firewall to automatically determine your connection type by
selecting Yes in the menu below and clicking Next:
The Setup Wizard will now check for a connection on the Internet port. If the Setup Wizard
determines that there is no connection to the Internet port, you will be prompted to check the
physical connection between your firewall and cable or DSL modem. When the connection is
properly made, the firewall’s Internet LED should be on.
Next, the Setup Wizard will attempt to determine which of the following connection types
your Internet service account uses:
•
Dynamic IP assignment
•
Fixed IP address assignment
•
A login protocol such as PPPoE
The Setup Wizard will report which connection type it has discovered, and it will then use the
appropriate configuration menu for that connection type.

Configuring for Dynamic IP Account
If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses Dynamic IP assignment,
you will be directed to the menu shown in
Figure 4-3
below:
Figure 4-3.
Setup Wizard menu for Dynamic IP address
1.
Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name. These
parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services such as mail or news servers. If you
leave the Domain Name field blank, the firewall will attempt to learn the domain
automatically from the ISP. If this is not successful, you may need to enter it manually.
2.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically
transmit DNS addresses to the firewall during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter
the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is
available, enter it also.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP addresses of one or
two DNS servers to your firewall during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you
must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter an address here, you
should reboot your PCs after configuring the firewall.

3.
Router’s MAC Address: This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used
by the firewall on the Internet port. If your ISP allows access by only one specific PC’s
Ethernet MAC address, select "Use this MAC address". The firewall will then capture and use
the MAC address of the PC that you are now using. You must be using the one PC that is
allowed by the ISP.
Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card in your
PC when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from the MAC
address of that PC. This feature allows your firewall to masquerade as that PC by using its
MAC address.

Click on Apply, then proceed to
“Completing the Configuration“ on page 4-9
.
Configuring for Fixed IP Account
If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses Fixed IP assignment, you
will be directed to the menu shown in
Figure 4-4
below:
Figure 4-4.
Setup Wizard menu for Fixed IP address
1.
Enter your assigned IP Address, Subnet Mask, and the IP Address of your ISP’s gateway
router. This information should have been provided to you by your ISP.
2.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically
transmit DNS addresses to the firewall during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter
the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is
available, enter it also.
