• Go to Cong > System.

• Within the Root Password section, enter the old (ngf1r3wall) and afterwards the new root
password with at least 5 characters.

Even if the root password is changed as described here, if the appliance does not have
a valid license, the default root password will still be valid for root login. Please see
instructions below for how to install a valid license.

6. Connect ISP

Appliance models F10 to F30x use PORT4 for the ISP by default.
If your ISP assigns the WAN IP address through the DHCP protocol, simply connect the modem to

PORT4. This port is pre congured to be used with an ISP using DHCP.

For all other models the network port can be chosen individually and the settings for ISP
conguration must be done manually:

• Navigate to: Cong > Network > xDSL/ISDN/DHCP.

• Enable one of the available WAN connection types and congure it according to the settings
provided by your Internet Service Provider.

• To check if the WAN IP address assignment was successful, navigate to Control > Network.

9. Change Management IP & Network

After a few moments you will be able to connect to the new management IP address. Do not forget
to change the network conguration of your personal computer.
