Page 3 Wednesday, November 20, 2002 2:55 PM Quick Start Installation Thank you for purchasing a SonicWALL Internet security appliance. The SonicWALL acts as a secure barrier between your private LAN and the public Internet (WAN) to protect your networks from security threats on the Internet.
ISP Connection Information Before you can begin installing your SonicWALL, determine how your ISP distributes IP addresses. Call your ISP to find out if your Internet connection uses DHCP to obtain an IP address, or PPPoE (typical of DSL access), or if they have given you a static IP address.

If you are installing a PRO 200, 300, PRO 230, PRO 330, or GX series, attach the power cable to the power input of the SonicWALL, and the other end into an AC outlet. Use the power switch to turn on the SonicWALL.
Connect one end of the gray Ethernet cable to your DSL modem, cable modem, or Internet router. Connect the other end of the gray Ethernet cable to the WAN port of the SonicWALL. The link LED lights indicating an active connection.

This IP address is used to initially access the Management interface of the SonicWALL and launch the Installation Wizard. To access the Management Station for the first time, you must configure your computer with an IP address in the same network range as the SonicWALL.
