V8.xQuick Start Guide
IMPORTANT: Please read through the Quick Start Guide prior to setup. Make sure to have your iPrism License Key le
saved to your desktop, and record the information listed in Step 1 prior to installation.
Quick Installation of iPrism
The proxy-mode conguration outlined in this guide provides an easy temporary setup for evaluating and testing iPrism
using proxied client trac. Once you are familiar with using iPrism in Proxy-Mode, we recommend reconguring iPrism for
Transparent-Mode deployment to fully utilize the trac management and reporting features.
For more information on installation and conguration (including transitioning to Transparent-Mode), see the iPrism
Installation Guide available on the iPrism support page at https://www.edgewave.com/support/iprism-documentation/
Step 2. Connect the iPrism and Log In
2.1 Connect a monitor and keyboard to the iPrism and log in as the user admin. At the menu, follow the instructions for
setting the IP address for iPrism, including the netmask and default gateway. Make sure these values are reachable
from the workstation you will use to perform the initial iPrism conguration.

redirect to the https port).

saved to your desktop). The following is an outline of the Installation Wizard steps:

Step 4. Shut Down and Relocate the iPrism Appliance (If it is not already located in a production setting)
Ensure proper shut down and relocate the iPrism to a network or subnet that will be convenient for testing, typically near
your Internet gateway. Connect a network cable between your switch and the INTERNAL iPrism interface, and turn on the
power.

Step 5. Redirect HTTP Trac to iPrism for Testing
Redirect Web requests to iPrism by conguring one or more clients to proxy to iPrism, using the default port 3128 and the
iPrism’s IP address. All HTTP/HTTPS requests originating from workstations that proxy to the iPrism will be ltered.
For more information on setting up and testing iPrism for evaluation purposes, refer to our Evaluation Guide. When you
are nished evaluating in Proxy-Mode, refer to the iPrism Installation Guide for transitioning to Transparent-Mode.
