The SonicWALL Installation Wizard simplifies the initial installation and configuration of the SonicWALL. This Wizard provides a series of menu-driven instructions for setting the administrator password and configuring the settings necessary to access the Internet.
Alert!
Your Web browser must be Java-enabled and support HTTP uploads in order to fully
manage your SonicWALL. Internet Explorer 5.0 and above as well as Netscape Navigator
4.0 and above are recommended.
You can use the SonicWALL Installation Wizard to configure the Internet Security Appliance for the following common network configurations:
Standard - Configuring the SonicWALL in Standard mode requires a static IP address from your ISP. In this mode, you must have separate static IP addresses for all computers on your network.
NAT Enabled - Using NAT (Network Address Translation) to set up your SonicWALL eliminates the need for separate IP addresses for all computers on your LAN. It is a way to conserve IP addresses available from the pool of IPv4 addresses for the Internet. If you do not have enough individual IP addresses for all computers on your network, you can use NAT for your network configuration.
NAT with DHCP Client - NAT with DHCP Client is a networking mode that allows you to obtain an IP address for a specific length of time from a DHCP server. The length of time is called a lease, which is renewed by the DHCP server typically after a few days. When the lease is ready to expire, the client contacts the server to renew the lease. This is a common network configuration for customers with cable or DSL modems. You are not assigned a specific IP address by your ISP.
NAT with PPPoE Client - NAT with PPPoE Client is a network protocol that uses Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) to connect with a remote site using various Remote Access Service products. This protocol is typically found when using a DSL modem with an ISP requiring a user name and password to log into the remote server. The ISP may then allow you to obtain an IP address automatically or give you a specific IP address.
NAT with PPTP Client - NAT with PPTP Client is a networking mode supporting PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) to connect to a remote server. It uses Microsoft Point to Point Encryption (MPPE) to provide encryption of transmitted data. PPTP typically supports older Microsoft clients that require tunneling connectivity or situations in which a tunnel passes through a firewall performing NAT.
