settings.

At this point, your initial configuration of the X506 is complete. You can use the LSM to change
settings in the future.
Connect the X506 to the Internet
STEP 1 Use an Ethernet cable to connect the X506 WAN port to your router. If the X506 is
configured to receive its WAN IP address by DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, or L2TP, the device
connects to your service provider. This may take a minute or more.
STEP 2 Check the status of the external virtual interface with the LSM or the CLI. If active, the inter-
face will be in “Up” status, and will have an IP address.
STEP 3 Use your web browser to connect to an external URL, such as http://www.tippingpoint.com
If you can see the web site, your internet connection is active, and you can register your
device and configure other features of the X506.
Note: When you connect to the LAN address, your browser may display a
security certificate warning. Accept the certificate and continue with the
configuration procedure.
