Turn off your computer. If you connect to the Internet using a DSL/cable
modem, disconnect the power from this device.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable that runs from your DSL/cable modem or
other Internet connection to your computer and connect it to the main
WAN port (labeled “WAN 1”) on the Edge.
Connect one end of the green, straight-through Ethernet cable supplied
with your Edge into any of the seven, numbered Ethernet ports (labeled 0-6)
on the Edge. Connect the other end into the Ethernet port of your computer.
If you connect to the Internet using a DSL/cable modem, restore the power
to this device. When the indicator lights of the modem stop flashing, the
modem is ready for use.
Attach the AC adapter to the Edge and connect it to a power source.
Turn on your computer. If your operating system reports that you have no
network connection, turn off all equipment and check your connections.
If your ISP supplies static IP addressing, or uses PPPoE, then do the following:
1. With your Web browser, select File > Open Location and go to the
System Satus page using the Trusted IP address of the Edge,
https://192.168.111.1. Log on using the default name (admin) and
password (admin).
2. From the navigation bar on the left, open Network (click on the +) and
select External.
3. Select either Manual Configuration (for static IP addressing) or PPPoE
Client from the Configuration Mode drop list.
4. Enter the TCP/IP settings or the PPPoE information you recorded in
Step 1 above. If you do not have a secondary DNS Server, DNS domain
suffix, or do not know the link speed, leave the default values.
To receive technical support and software upgrades, register your Edge at
http://www. watchguard.com/activate. If you have not created an account
on the WatchGuard Web site, you will need to create a user profile to start
the activation process.

Determine how your Internet Service Provider (ISP) issues
your IP address. This will affect the installation process.
If necessary, call your ISP to find out whether your Internet
connection supports static addressing, DHCP, or PPPoE.
Before you begin, confirm that you have a working Internet
connection. Then follow these steps to install your Edge:
Look up the computer’s TCP/IP settings and record them
for later use. Refer to ”Determine your current TCP/IP
settings” in the WatchGuard
®
Firebox® X Edge User Guide.
Set up your computer to use DHCP. Refer to “Enable your
Computer for DHCP” in the User Guide.
