• Make sure your computer is configured to use DHCP. When you connect it to the XTM 2
Series device, make sure your computer gets an IP address on the 10.0.1.0/24 network.
Run the Web Setup Wizard
• Open a web browser and type https://10.0.1.1:8080 to start the Web Setup Wizard.
NOTE: Because the XTM device uses a self-signed certificate, you may see a certificate warning in your
browser. It is safe to ignore the warning (Internet Explorer) or to add a certificate exception (Mozilla Firefox).
• Log in with the user name admin and the passphrase readwrite.
• Follow the instructions on the screen and complete the Wizard.
NOTE: Your WatchGuard XTM device now has a basic configuration that allows outbound TCP, UDP, and ping
traffic, and blocks all unrequested traffic from the external network.
• Log in to the Fireware XTM Web UI with the user name admin and the configuration
passphrase you set in the Wizard.
