Run the Quick Setup Wizard

• Open a web browser and type: https://192.168.111.1:8443. Follow the directions in the

wizard to set up your WatchGuard SSL device.

NOTE: Because the WatchGuard SSL 560 uses a self-signed certicate, you may see a certicate warning in your browser. It is safe to ignore the warning (Internet Explorer) or to add a certicate exception (Mozilla Firefox).

• In the wizard, you must decide on the conguration mode that best suits your network. These diagrams show the two conguration modes. For more information on how to deploy the SSL device, see the online help.
