Getting Started Guide

This Getting Started Guide contains installation procedures and configuration guidelines for deploying a SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) appliance into an existing or new network.

The SonicWALL CDP appliance backs up data as changes occur or on a schedule. Data is backed up first to your local SonicWALL CDP appliance, and then optionally to a secure offsite location*. This real-time data protection provides the most current file and system backup possible. By combining the advantages of local disk-based backup (fast recovery) with offsite backup, the SonicWALL CDP appliance provides excellent protection against data loss.

Please read this entire Getting St arted Guide before setting up your SonicWALL CDP 6080/6080B appliance.

Note: For more detailed technical documentation, refer to the

SonicWALL CDP Administrator’s Guide SonicWALL CDP Agent User’s Guide at:

*Offsite backup is offered as a subscription-based service.

Front Bezel Control Features

The SonicWALL CDP appliance is equipped with a front panel bezel interface that allows an administrator to customize certain aspects of the appliance or simply monitor its status without having to log into it through a separate terminal.

Main Menu

Upon booting, the LCD display initially shows the Main Menu. The menu is made up of two options:

Contains basic status values including system resources, connections, and port configuration values.

Allows configuration of basic LAN port settings. Requires system PIN for access, default: 76642.

Use the Up and Down buttons to select the menu you wish to enter. Click the Right button to enter it.

Status

The Status menu allows you to view specific aspects of the appliance. Once selected, the LCD displays the Status List. This list is navigated using the Up and Down buttons. St atus option s include:

• Appliance name

• Software version

•Date

•Time

•Uptime

• Management URL

• Interface eth0 IP (default LAN)

• Interface eth0 subnet

SonicWALL CDP 6080 / 6080B Getting Started Guide Page 5

Configure

The Configure Menu allows you to configure specific aspects of the appliance. Once selected, the LCD displays a PIN request.

Note: The Default PIN is 76642. This number spells SONIC

on a phone keypad. The PIN number can be changed from the System > Administration page.

All numbers are inputted using the 4 buttons. Select the individual digit field using the Left and Right button and select the desired number using the Up and Down button. D ig i ts increase incrementally from 0 to 9. Press the Right button to confirm your PIN and enter the Configuration Menu.

The appliance allows the user to navigate in and out of the Configuration Menu without having to re-enter the PIN. However, once the appliance enters Screen-Saver Mode, whether from the 6-second time out or from pressing the Left button from the Main Menu, the PIN number must be re-entered again to access the Configuration Menu.

After entering a new value for a setting in the configuration menu, you are asked if you want to commit changes. Using the 4-way D-pad, press the Right button for yes or the Left button for no.

If you choose yes, the screen notifies you that the settings are updated.
