Before You Begin - Cisco C690 Quick Start Manual

Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Cisco C690 Email Security
Appliance (Cisco C690).
The Cisco C690 appliance is designed to serve as your SMTP
email gateway at your network perimeter—that is, the first
appliance with an IP address that is directly accessible to the
Internet for sending and receiving email. Many of the features
(including reputation filtering, data loss prevention, content
scanning, spam detection, and virus protection) require you to
install the Cisco appliance into your existing network
infrastructure.
This guide describes how to physically install your Cisco C690
appliance and use the System Setup Wizard to configure basic
settings.
