Completing the Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard takes you through several basic steps to get
your SonicWALL TZ 210 series appliance configured for your
network. Use the Recording Configuration Information
section, on page 2 to record your configuration information
as you complete the wizard.
Note: If you are having trouble accessing the Setup Wizard,
see the Troubleshooting the Setup Wizard section, on
page 7 of this document.
The Setup Wizard guides you through the following steps:
Change Password—Create a new password so that only you
have access to the management interface. The default
password is “password.”
Change Time Zone—Select the correct time zone for proper
updates and time-based functionality.
WAN Network Mode—Choose your method of connecting to
the Internet. This information is provided by your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
WAN Settings—Required for some WAN modes. This
information is also provided by your ISP.
LAN Settings—Enter custom local network address settings,
or use the default values, which work well for most networks.
LAN DHCP Settings—Allow your SonicWALL TZ 210 series
appliance to automatically connect other local computers by
specifying a DHCP range, or use the default.
Ports Assignment—Configure the extra interfaces (X2-X6) for
different network requirements.
At the end of the wizard, a configuration summary displays. It is
recommended that you record this information in the Recording
Configuration Information section, on page 2 of this guide.
After the Setup Wizard completes, the appliance may reboot.
Please wait a few minutes while the SonicWALL appliance
reboots to save the updated firmware settings, and then
continue with the next section of this guide.

Accessing the Management Interface
The computer you use to manage the SonicWALL TZ 210
series appliance must be set up to connect using DHCP, or with
a static IP address in your chosen subnet. The default subnet
for LAN zone ports is 192.168.168.x.
If your SonicWALL TZ 210 series appliance required a reboot
after completing the Setup Wizard, wait until the LED is no
longer lit before continuing.
To access the SonicOS Web-based management interface:
1. Enter the default IP address of http://192.168.168.168, or
the LAN IP address you chose during the Setup Wizard, in
the Location or Address field of your Web browser.
Tip: If you changed the LAN IP of your SonicWALL during
the Setup Wizard, you may need to restart your
computer for changes to take effect.
2. When the SonicWALL Management Login page displays,
enter your username and password (default values are
“admin” for user name and “password” for password).
If the System > Status page (shown below) displays, then you
have correctly configured the SonicWALL TZ 210 series
appliance to work with the computer on your LAN.

Troubleshooting Initial Setup
This section provides troubleshooting tips for the following initial
setup topics:
•Troubleshooting the Setup Wizard - page 7
•Troubleshooting Internet Connection - page 7
•Configuring DHCP IP Addressing - page 8
Troubleshooting the Setup Wizard
• If you see the login screen, but not the Setup Wizard:
• Configure your Web browser to allow pop-ups.
• Log into the security appliance using “admin” as the
user name and “password” as the password. After
you log in, click the Wizards button at the top right.
• If you do not see the login screen or the Setup Wizard,
verify the following:
• Did you correctly enter the SonicWALL TZ 210 series
appliance management IP address, 192.168.168.168,
in your Web browser?
• Is your computer set to accept DHCP addressing or
set to a static IP address within the 192.168.168.x
subnet range? If not, see the Configuring DHCP IP
Addressing section, on page 8 for instructions.
• Is the Ethernet cable connected between your
computer and the LAN (X0) port on your SonicWALL?
• Do you need to add the SonicWALL appliance to your
list of trusted sites in your Web browser? Use the
default IP address (192.168.168.168) for this.
• Is the Test LED on the front panel of your
SonicWALL appliance lit? If the Test LED stays lit for
more than a few minutes after the initial power on
sequence, power cycle the SonicWALL appliance.
Troubleshooting Internet Connection
If you can view the SonicWALL home page, you have
configured your SonicWALL TZ 210 series appliance correctly.
If you cannot view the SonicWALL home page, try the following:
•Renew your management station DHCP address if
you changed the IP address/subnet of your network
during setup.
•Restart your management station to accept new
network settings from the DHCP server in the
SonicWALL appliance.
•Restart your Internet router or modem to
communicate with the DHCP client in the SonicWALL
appliance.
•Log into the SonicOS management interface and
launch the Setup Wizard again by clicking the Wizards
button in the top right corner of the interface. Ensure
that all of your settings are correct.
