Connect Cables
Symantec recommends plugging in cables, verifying LEDs, and configuring and licensing
the appliance before rack-mounting. If you would rather rack-mount the appliance before
performing configuration tasks, skip to Step 6—Rack-Mount the Appliance.

The following procedure describes a typical in-line deployment for SG S200, SG S400, and
SG S500 appliances (as shown in the above illustration). For information on other deployments,
see the First Steps WebGuide at: http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC9779
Note: Network cables are not included with the appliance. Make sure to use only straight-through
Ethernet cables. For 1000Base-T operation, Symantec recommends Category 5E cables or better
(Category 6 or 6A) for distances of 330 feet (100 meters).
To deploy the appliance and connect its cables:
a. Disconnect the Ethernet cable (if there is one) between the LAN switch and WAN router.
b. Connect the appliance to the LAN switch with a network cable:
o For SG S200 and SG S400 appliances, connect the 2:1 port to the LAN switch.
o For SG S500 appliances, connect the 1:1 port to the LAN switch.
o The appliance auto-negotiates 10/100/1000 Base-T speed and duplex settings.
c. Connect the appliance to the WAN router with a network cable:
o For SG S200 and SG S400 appliances, connect the 2:0 port to the WAN router.
o For SG S500 appliances, connect the 1:0 port to the WAN router.
d. Connect the appliance's DB9 serial port to a serial terminal or workstation with terminal
emulation software. Use the included null-modem cable. The serial connection is used to
perform the appliance's initial configuration.
e. For SG S500 appliances, attach the
lug-equipped end of the included
grounding wire (10 AWG) to both
grounding studs on the appliance,
securing it with the star washers
and M5 nuts. Attach the other end
of the grounding wire to a proper
earth-ground.
f. Connect the included AC power cord to the appliance's power inlet on the rear panel.
Connect the other end of the power cord to a power source. If the appliance has a second
(redundant) power supply, connect it as well.

Power on the Appliance and Verify LEDs
√
√ √
To verify the appliance is operational:
√ √
√ a. Confirm the appliance's power cords are securely connected to a power source.
√ √ b. If the appliance does not automatically power on, press the rear soft power switch.
√ √
Note: The state of the appliance's soft power switch (on or off) is retained when power is
√ √ removed. This may necessitate pressing the power switch when reapplying power to the
√ √ appliance.
c. As the appliance boots, verify the following:
o The Power LED turns amber.
o Near the end of the boot cycle, the Power LED alternates between amber and green,
indicating an unconfigured state.
Following the initial configuration (see Step 4), the Power LED turns green. In addition, the
o
LCD displays system statistics, which can be scrolled through with the Left/Right Arrows.
The front-panel LEDs indicate the following states::
o Power LED
Router
Sys Status LED

Perform the Initial Configuration
You must have the following network information to initialize the appliance:
o Appliance IP address
o Primary DNS server IP address
o Default Gateway IP address
o Subnet mask
To perform the initial configuration for the appliance:
a. Confirm the appliance's DB9 serial port is connected to a serial terminal or workstation with
terminal emulation software.
b. Open a terminal emulation program such as Microsoft HyperTerminal®, PuTTY, Tera Term, or
ProComm™.
c. Configure the terminal emulation software to use the following settings:
o Baud rate: 9600 bps
Parity: none
o
Flow control: none
o
d. Power on the appliance (if it is not already powered on) and, when prompted, press Enter
three times.
e. Select how the appliance will be configured:
Manual Setup: Configures the appliance with the Initial Configuration Wizard.
o
Director-Managed Setup: Configures the application with Director. You will need the
o
Director IP address and registration password for this option. For more information, refer
to the manufacturer's instructions included with Director.
•
( ) Off: Powered off
•
( ) Amber: Booting
•
( ) Amber/green alternating: Unconfigured
•
( ) Green: Powered on and configured
•
( ) Off: No status
•
( ) Green: Healthy
•
( ) Amber: Warning
*
( ) Amber blinking: Critical (or not licensed)
o Link settings (speed and duplex)
o Admin ID and password
o Director IP address (if using Director)
o Data bits: 1
Stops bits: 8
o
f. Select how the appliance will be licensed:
o Caching Proxy: The appliance will be deployed with a Mach5 license, which enables the
Sky Management Console, a simplified web interface that provides WAN acceleration and
reporting. This option requires that you specify one of the following deployments:
• Physically in-path
• Virtually in-path with WCCP
o Forward Proxy: Filters traffic inside the network, allowing users to browse the Internet
through the proxy.
o Reverse Proxy: Directs traffic to web application servers inside the network, while
protecting them from threats.
g. When prompted, enter network configuration parameters. If the appliance is connected to
a network, the Initial Configuration Wizard attempts to verify the DNS server address and
auto-detect link settings.
Warning: Symantec recommends assigning each administrator a unique user ID and password and
storing this information in a secure location. For more information, see the SGOS Administration
Guide available at: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/Documentation.html
Note: Following the initial configuration, the System Status LED blinks amber, indicating the
appliance has not yet been licensed (see Step 5).

License the Appliance
After the appliance is configured for network access, complete the installation by licensing the
appliance. The ProxySG appliance relies on a base license that includes the primary operating
components of the proxy, and add-on licenses that include optional components, such as
GeoLocation, Web Application Firewall, and WebFilter.
To license the appliance:
a. Open a browser and enter the appliance's IP address and port number. For example, an IP
address of 192.168.2.42 with a port number of 8082 (the default) translates to the URL:
https://192.168.2.42:8082
b. When prompted, enter the administrator User ID and Password previously specified during
the initial configuration. The Management Console opens.
c. Activate the base license:
In the Management Console, navigate to the Maintenance > Licensing > Install tab.
o
Click Retrieve. The appliance contacts the Symantec licensing server and the base
o
license is installed.
d. Activate the add-on licenses, if any were purchased:
o Go to https://support.symantec.com/ and log in with MySymantec credentials.
o Choose Licensing > Network Protection (Blue Coat) Licensing.
Enter the Activation Code included in your e-fulfilment letter and click Next.
o
Enter the appliance's serial number and click Next.
o
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the activation.
o
Repeat these steps to install any additional add-on licenses.
o
e. Download and install the updated license:
In the Management Console, navigate to the Maintenance > Licensing > Install tab.
o
Click Retrieve. The appliance contacts the Symantec licensing server and the updated
o
license is installed.
