If you have configured a Firebox X Core or X Peak before, it is important foryou to understand that the Web Quick Setup Wizard operates differently than the Quick Setup Wizardthat shipped with earlier Firebox X hardware models.

With the FireboxX Core and Peak e-Series and the Web Quick Setup Wizard, you must make a direct network connectionto the Firebox and use a web browser to start the wizard. The Firebox uses DHCP from its Eth1Ethernet interface to give a new IP address to your management station to use during configuration.Before you start the Web Quick Setup Wizard, make sure you have:• Registered your Firebox with LiveSecurity Service• Stored a copy of your Firebox feature key in a text file on your management station• Downloaded WSM and Fireware® software from the LiveSecurity Service web site to yourmanagement station• Installed the Fireware executable on your management station• Configured your management station to accept an IP address automatically (through DHCP)Using the Web Quick Setup Wizard1 Connect the red cross-over Ethernet cable that ships with your Firebox between the Ethernet porton your management station and the Eth1 port on your Firebox.2 Plug the power cord into the Firebox power input and into a power source.3 On the front of the Firebox X, press the up arrow button while you turn on the power to the Firebox.The Firebox X boots into Safe Mode.

The Web QuickSetup Wizard starts automatically.After the Firebox is configured with this basic configuration, you can use Policy Manager to expand orchange the Firebox configuration.Using Web Quick Setup Wizard for recoveryYou can use the Web Quick Setup Wizard when you first configure your Firebox X e-Series device.
