Using the Setup Wizard
When you are ready to begin initial setup, configure your
management computer with a static IP address on the
192.168.1.0/24 subnet, such as 192.168.1.20. This allows your
computer to connect to SonicOS via the MGMT interface.
NOTE: Be sure to disable pop‐up blocking software, or
set your web browser to allow pop‐ups and cookies.
To configure initial settings using the Setup Wizard:
1 With your computer connected to the appliance MGMT
port, start your web browser and navigate to the
default MGMT interface IP address:
http://192.168.1.254

2 Launch the SonicOS Setup Wizard by clicking the first
here link. This wizard helps you quickly configure the
SonicWall appliance to secure your Internet

these or click Manual Config to enter a static IP address
and other network settings.
