H.2 NFW-560 Deployment：（Figure H-2）
Non-inline mode: The unit is attached to your LAN switch without any network
interference. It is best suited for a network where management is needed for
wireless clients.（Figue H-2）
Figue H-2 NFW-560 Deployed in Non-inline Mode
Inline mode: The unit is deployed between your existing firewall and LAN
without a change being made to the current infrastructure. It is best suited for a
network where advanced security and management are needed for both the wired
and wireless traffic.（Figure H-3）

Gateway mode: The unit is deployed to replace your existing firewall. It is best
suited for a network where outbound load balancing and advanced management
are needed for both the wired and wireless traffic.（Figure H-4）

Basic System Configuration
Step 1. Connect the IT administrator’s network adaptor and NFW-560’s port1
(LAN1) to the same hub / switch, and then launch a browser (IE or Firefox)
to link the management interface at http://192.168.1.1.
Step 2. The browser prompts you for the login credentials. (Both are “admin”by
default. )（Figure S-1）

Menu Panel: Presents all the available system configurations in a tree
directory structure. (See Overview of Functions for further details)
Configuration Panel: Displays the data or configurable settings of the
corresponding item selected on the Menu Panel.

Note：
1. For your reference, you may configure your management address based on the available subnet
ranges below.
10.0.0.0 ~ 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 ~ 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 ~ 192.168.255.255

Step 6. Configure the LAN settings: (according to your network infrastructure).
（Figure S-5）
Specify the IPv4 Address and Netmask.
Figure S-5 Configuring the LAN Interface Settings
Important :
1. The access to the management interface is subject to the Interface Settings from the Installation
Wizard Step2. Therefore, enter the management address to a Web browser correspondingly if any
change has been made to the default IP address (192.168.1.1).
