Preparing for Preconfiguration
Complete the following tasks before you preconfigure InterScan Gateway Security
Appliance:
• Determine the administrator account password for the appliance.
• Determine the host name for the appliance.
• Prepare a machine that has terminal communications software, such as
HyperTerminal for Windows and a DB9 port.
Failopen Considerations (LAN bypass)
Failopen—also known as LAN bypass — is a fault-tolerant solution that allows the
appliance
to continue to allow traffic to pass if device failure occurs. Failopen is
enabled by default. Use the preconfiguration console to disable or enable failopen.
(See
Enabling or Disabling LAN Bypass and Link State Failover on page 5-6 for
detailed instructions.)
Tip: If there is a firewall between the appliance and the Internet and the appliance is
operating in Transparent Proxy Mode, make sure that the appliance IP address is
added to the firewall list.

To perform preconfiguration:
1. Gather device network IP information.
2. Choose a preconfiguration method.
