Local configuration on startup (EIS)
As of firmware version 7.2, initial startup of mGuard products provided in Stealth mode is
considerably easier. From this version onwards, the EIS (Easy Initial Setup) procedure en-
ables startup to be performed via preset or user-defined management addresses without
actually having to connect to an external network.
The mGuard is configured using a web browser on the computer used for configuration.
NOTE: The web browser used must support SSL encryption (i.e., HTTPS).
According to the default setting, the mGuard can be accessed via the following addresses:

work mode.
