SonicWALL Configuration Overview
There are five major sections to the configuration of the SonicWALL:
•
Management Station Configuration - In this step, configuring your computer to act as
the management station that establishes connectivity with the SonicWALL.
•
SonicWALL Configuration - Configuring the SonicWALL to connect to the Internet using
the information from your ISP. If you are assigned a single IP address from your ISP, enter
it as the SonicWALL WAN IP address during the configuration.
•
Computer Configuration on the WorkPort - You must configure the computers on
your WorkPort to be on the same network as the SonicWALL after setting up your
SonicWALL.
•
VPN Tunnel Configuration - If your secure connection to your corporate network has
not been configured, you must configure a VPN SA to connect securely to the corporate
network.
•
Computers on the HomePort - You must configure your home computer(s) to be on the
same subnet as the HomePort. By doing this, you establish connectivity from your home
computer to the Internet through the TELE3 TZ or TELE3 TZX.
Management Station Configuration
Note: This is a brief overview of the configuration steps. Refer to page 9 for step by step
instructions.
1. Change the TCP/IP settings of your PC to be in the same subnet as the default IP address
of the SonicWALL. Typically, set your IP address to 192.168.168.200, subnet mask
255.255.255.0, and default gateway of 192.168.168.1.
2. Open your Web browser and enter the IP address, 192.168.168.168, into the Address field.
This is the default IP address of the SonicWALL.

3. Use the Wizard to configure the SonicWALL with the information from your ISP. If you have
a single IP address assigned to you, enter it into the SonicWALL WAN IP Address field.
Finish the steps as outlined by the Wizard.
4. Or, if you prefer not to use the Wizard, the user name of "admin" and the password
"password" can be used to access the Management interface.
5. Restart the SonicWALL.

6. Change your TCP/IP settings of your computer to be in the same subnet as the SonicWALL.
For example, if you have used the default address of the SonicWALL, 192.168.168.1,
configure the IP settings of your computer to be 192.168.168.X where X is any number 2
through 254.
Important: Do not set the computer IP address to be the same as the SonicWALL WorkPort
IP Address.
