Consider the following first steps:
1. Review the WAN configuration and make any changes that are needed to set up
your Internet connection.
In the WAN & LAN Connectivity section of the Getting Started (Basic) page,
click the WAN settings link. For more information, see
Connection, page
2. Review the LAN configuration and make any changes that are needed to
support your network. The default DHCP and TCP/IP settings should be
satisfactory in most cases. However, you can change the subnet address or the
default IP address, or assign static IP addresses to your devices.
In the WAN & LAN Connectivity section of the Getting Started (Basic) page,
click the LAN Settings link. For more information, see
page 56.
3. If you are going to use your security appliance with your Cisco Smart Business
Communications System (SBCS), install and configure your UC 500.
See Scenario 2: Cisco Smart Business Communications System
Configuration, page
4. Consider how you want to use the Optional port:
• If you need to host public services such as web sites, you will need a DMZ.

LAN port, see
• If you have two ISP links and do not need a DMZ, you can use the Optional
port as a secondary WAN port to provide backup connectivity or load
balancing. To configure the port, use the links in the Secondary WAN Port
section of the Getting Started (Advanced) page. For more information, see
Configuring the Optional WAN, page
• If you do not need a DMZ or a secondary WAN, you can use the Optional
port as an extra LAN port. For more information, see
Optional Port as a LAN Port, page
5. If you want to allow inbound access from the Internet, or if you want to restrict
some types of outbound traffic to the Internet, configure your firewall rules.
