Setup Wizard; System Requirements; Configuring The Snapgear Vpn Router On Your Network - SnapGear VPN Router User Manual

Setup Wizard

SnapGear VPN Router ships with a Windows installation program, SnapGear Setup Wizard. If
you are using statically pre-assigned IP addresses on your network (i.e. no active DHCP server, a
static network), Setup Wizard will help assign an IP address to the SnapGear VPN Router. On
DHCP enabled, or dynamic, networks, Setup Wizard will locate the IP address your SnapGear VPN
Router has been assigned. It also gives you the option of configuring the Internet connection setup
and changing the SnapGear VPN Router's password.

System requirements

Setup Wizard can be run from any PC on the network that is running Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows ME, Windows NT 4 or Windows 95/98. If you are using Windows 95 you must have the
MS Dial Up Networking 1.3 update (msdun13.exe) installed. Additionally, users of early versions
of Windows 95 (pre-OSR2) must install the Winsock 2.0 update (w95w2setup.exe). If you are
using Windows NT, you must be logged in as administrator to run Setup Wizard.

Configuring the SnapGear VPN Router on your network

To configure the SnapGear VPN Router on your network:
1. Apply power to the SnapGear VPN Router. When the SnapGear VPN Router is powered on and
it has no IP address, it will flash all front panel LEDs (except POWER). These LEDs will remain
flashing until it has acquired an IP address.
2. Insert the SnapGear VPN Router Installation CD into the CD drive of any Windows PC on your
network that meets the system requirements. From the Start menu, select Run and type z:\setup
(where z is the letter of your CD drive).
3. Select the directory and Start menu group in which to install the software utilities for your
SnapGear VPN Router.
4. The wizard will then search the network for your device. Once the wizard has located your
device, you will be asked to enter an IP address (see Static Networks).
5. If you already have a DHCP server on the network (Dynamic Network), the SnapGear VPN
Router will have automatically been assigned an IP address and its LEDs will no longer be
flashing. Setup Wizard will locate the SnapGear VPN Router on the network.
