5. Setup the device
a) Register the Device
If you have not previously registered your device on MySophos, you will see a
registration screen. The device requires Internet connectivity for it to be registered with
MySophos. You can adjust the network settings of the device’s interfaces by clicking
“Basic Setup” so that the device can connect to the Internet.
After clicking “Register Device”, you are redirected to the MySophos portal. If you
already have a MySophos account, enter your login credentials under “Log in to
MySophos”. If you are a new user, sign up for a MySophos account by entering the
details under “Register for MySophos”.
Click “Continue” to complete the registration process. Please wait while the process
completes – it will take a few seconds. After successful registration, you will see
a screen with the message, “Your device is now registered”. Please note that you
should proceed with the next step i.e. “Synchronize License” only after the device is
successfully registered.
b) Synchronize License
Click “Initiate License Synchronization” to fetch license information from Sophos
onto the device. After synchronization, you will see a screen with the message,
“Synchronization with server was successful”.
c) Start Network Configuration
After successful synchronization, choose “Click Here” on the “Welcome” screen to
start your initial device configuration. Use the Network Configuration Wizard to select
the deployment mode (Bridge/Gateway) for your device, change the interface(s) IP
addresses, default gateway, DNS settings and Date/Time Zone to match your local
network settings.
