Connect to the appliance
You can connect to your appliance via the online Command Center portal at https://untangle.com/cmd. Alternatively, you can connect to your
appliance from the local network, or directly using a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Via Command Center
Provisioning a new u25xw appliance via Command Center is a convenient way to deploy and configure NG Firewall. To set up and manage
your new appliance from Command Center follow these steps:
1. Navigate your web browser to https://untangle.com/cmd.
2. Log in with your Untangle Command Center account, or click Create Account to set up an account.
3. In Command Center, click Add in the Appliances screen.
4. Enter the serial number located on the bottom of your appliance.
5. Click Add to confirm the new appliance.
6. After the appliance successfully adds to your account, you can select it from the list of appliances.
7. Click Remote Access to connect to the administration of your new appliance.
8. Continue to the setup wizard.
Via network connection
Alternatively, you can connect to your NG Firewall management interface from the local area network. This is useful for example if your NG
Firewall appliance cannot reach the Internet and you require local administration to configure the TCP/IP settings. To access the
administration from a local network follow these steps:
1. Connect your management system to the network attached to the LAN port (LAN 2) of the appliance.
2. Check the network status of your management system and confirm that you receive an IPv4 address in the subnet of
192.168.2.0/24 (e.g. 192.168.2.100).
3. In a browser, navigate to 192.168.2.1.
4. Accept the SSL certificate notice in your browser and continue to the setup wizard.
Via direct connection
If neither of the previous options is available, you can connect to your appliance directly by attaching a display to the HDMI port (HD1) and
a keyboard and mouse to any of the USB ports. At the menu on the bottom of the screen, click Launch Client to open the administration in
a browser and continue to the setup wizard.
Configure the setup wizard
When you connect to the administration for the first time, the setup wizard prompts you to configure the essential parameters to get your
appliance up and running.
