What You Need to Get Connected

SonicWALL Internet Security Appliance Local Area Network (LAN), Cable modem, or DSL modem PC or Macintosh computer A Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer v5.0 or later, or Netscape Navigator v4.7 or later - your Web browser must support Java and HTTP uploads in order to fully manage the SonicWALL.) Internet Service Provider (ISP) Information TEL:______________________________

ISP Connection Information

Before you can begin installing your SonicWALL, determine how your ISP distributes IP addresses. Call your ISP to find out if your Internet connection uses DHCP to obtain an IP address, or PPPoE (typical of DSL access), or if they have given you a static IP address. Write all of your networking information down in the checklist below: IP Addressing using DHCP No action necessary. The SonicWALL automatically detects the presence of a DHCP server during installation. IP Addressing using PPPoE User Name: Password: IP Addressing using a Single Public IP Address IP Address:_________________________ Subnet Mask:_______________________ Default Gateway:____________________ Primary DNS:_______________________ Secondary DNS:_____________________ If you are not using one of the network configurations above, step by step installation instructions for additional networking methods are found in Chapter 2, Configuring the Network Mode on the Alert! SonicWALL, of your Administrators Guide. The Administrators Guide is located on your product CD and requires Acrobat Reader to view it. Acrobat Reader is also provided on your product CD. If you are unfamiliar with network terminology, review the glossary below: Glossary IP Address - A set of numbers in the format, XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, used to address computers on the Internet. Subnet Mask - A set of numbers in IP address format using 255 in place of the XXXs. It determines the type of network by masking out numbers. A Class C network has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Default Gateway - A device on an internetwork that forwards packets to another network. DNS (Domain Name System) Server - A computer that looks up the name of a computer and finds the corresponding IP address. This allows you to access computers on the Internet without configuring IP addresses for remote connections. PPPoE - Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet supports the transmission of network packets over serial transmission lines such as DSL or POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allocates IP addresses to computers on the network automatically without assigning a computer a static (fixed) IP address.
