Putting the Firebox into Operation• It is possible that the Fireware application software file you downloaded from the LiveSecurityweb site is corrupted. If the software image is corrupted, you can sometimes see a message onthe LCD interface: “File Truncate Error.” Download the software again and try the wizard oncemore.• If you use Internet Explorer 6, clear the file cache in your web browser and try again. To clear thecache, from the Internet Explorer toolbar select Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files.Quick Setup WizardIf you use an older model Firebox X Core or Peak (not an e-Series Firebox), then you must use the QuickSetup Wizard that runs as a Windows application to make a basic configuration file. The Firebox uses thisbasic configuration file when it starts for the first time. This enables the Firebox to operate as a basic firewall.After the Firebox is configured with this basic configuration, you can use Policy Manager to expand orchange the Firebox configuration.The Quick Setup Wizard uses a device discovery procedure to find the Firebox X model you are configuring.This procedure uses a UDP broadcast. Software firewalls, including the firewall in Microsoft WindowsXP SP2, can cause problems with device discovery.You can start the Quick Setup Wizard from the Windows desktop or from WatchGuard System Manager.From the desktop, select Start > All Programs > WatchGuard System Manager 8.3 > Quick SetupWizard. From System Manager, select Tools > Quick Setup Wizard.NoteIn the Quick Setup Wizard, you must set a status and configuration passphrase for the Firebox. Whenyou are ready to configure a Log Server to collect log messages from the Firebox, use the statuspassphrase you set in the Quick Setup Wizard as your default log encryption key. After your Log Server isconfigured, you can change your log encryption key if you want. For more information, see the “Loggingand Notification” chapter.Putting the Firebox into OperationWhen you finish with either Quick Setup Wizard, you have completed the installation of your Firebox®.You can use the Firebox as a basic firewall that allows all outgoing TCP, DNS, and ping traffic.Complete these steps to put the Firebox into operation on your network:• Put the Firebox in its permanent physical location.• In WatchGuard® System Manager, use File > Connect To Device to connect the managementstation to the Firebox.• If you use a routed configuration, change the default gateway on all computers that you connectto the Firebox trusted IP address.• Set up the Management Server.
