Configuring the IDP Sensor
Before You Begin
This chapter describes how to connect to the IDP Sensor and configure the device
for your network using the Application Configuration Manager (ACM), a Web-based
tool. After you have used the ACM to configure the Sensor, you need to connect the
device in your network.

Ensure that the following conditions are met:
You have mounted the Sensor.
You have decided on the IP address of the computer where the Management
