and monitoring tools for your XTM device. It includes WatchGuard server software and

access to features such as logging, reporting, and offline configuration editing.

Download Latest Software

Go to www.watchguard.com/archive/softwarecenter.asp

OS installation package you downloaded from the WatchGuard web site.

•   Connect to your XTM device with the Fireware XTM Web UI.

Select

System > Upgrade OS.

NOTE: The default location for the upgrade file is C:\Program Files\Common Files\WatchGuard\resources\

•   Make sure your computer is configured to use DHCP. When you connect it to the XTM 3 

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.
