Steps for Initial Connection
Typically, the UTM is installed as a network gateway to function as a combined LAN switch,
firewall, and content scan engine to protect the network from all incoming and outgoing
malware threats.
Generally, five steps are required to complete the basic and security configuration of your
UTM:
1. Connect the UTM physically to your network. Connect the cables and restart your
network according to the instructions in the Installation Guide. See the ProSecure
Unified Threat Management UTM Installation Guide for complete steps. A PDF of the
Installation Guide is on the NETGEAR website at
http://www.prosecure.netgear.com/resources/document-library.php.
2. Log in to the UTM. After logging in, you are ready to set up and configure your UTM. See
Log In to the UTM
3. Use the Setup Wizard to configure basic connections and security. During this phase,
you connect the UTM to one or more ISPs (more than one ISP applies to multiple WAN port
models only). See
4. Verify the installation. See
