Congratulations! You have finished basic setup of your WatchGuard XTM 1050. You

can use the Web UI to continue basic configuration and management tasks. Before you

begin, we strongly recommend that you use the instructions on this page to:

•

Upgrade your XTM 1050 to the latest Fireware XTM OS.

•

Install WatchGuard System Manager (WSM). WSM provides a full suite of management

and monitoring tools for your XTM 1050. 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

•

Find and download the latest version of Fireware XTM OS and WSM software.

Upgrade your XTM 1050 with latest Fireware XTM OS

•

On the computer you use to connect to the XTM 1050, find and run the Fireware XTM

OS installation package you downloaded from the WatchGuard web site.

• Connect to your XTM 1050 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\

FirewareXTM\[version number\model]. The file name is utm_xtm1050.sysa-dl.

Install and Start WatchGuard System Manager

• On the computer you use to connect to your XTM 1050, run the WSM installation

package you downloaded from the WatchGuard web site.

NOTE: For WSM minimum system requirements, see the product release notes.

• Select Start > All Programs > WatchGuard System Manager.

• From WSM, click the Connect to Device icon to connect your management computer

to the WatchGuard XTM 1050.

For more information about how to configure your WatchGuard XTM 1050, go to

www.watchguard.com/help/documentation and open the current help system.

Getting Started

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

1050, make sure it 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 1050 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 1050 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 using the user name admin and the configuration

passphrase you set in the Wizard.
