You can configure or reset the security gateway through the serial port using
the null modem cable that is included with the security gateway. Configuring
the security gateway in this way is useful for installing in an existing network
because it prevents the security gateway from interfering with the network
when it is connected.
You can configure a subset of settings through the serial console. These settings
include the following:
LAN IP address (IP address of the security gateway)
■
LAN network mask
■
Enable or disable the DHCP server
■
Range of IP addresses for the DHCP server to allocate
