Step 5: Connect to the Snap Server for the First Time Snap Servers are preset to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found on the network, the Snap Server defaults to an IP address of 10.10.10.10, and you may not be able to see the server on your network. You can discover a Snap Server using either the default server name or the Snap Server Manager (SSM) utility. Use the server name method if you are installing a Snap Server on a network with a DHCP server. Use SSM if your network does not have a DHCP server or if your network does not have name resolution services. To Connect to a Snap Server Using the Server Name This procedure requires that name resolution services (via WINS or an equivalent service) be operational. 1 Find the server name. The default server name is SNAPnnnnnn, where nnnnnn is the server number. For example, the name of a Snap Server with a server number of 610019 is SNAP610019. The server number is a unique, numerics-only string that appears on a label affixed to the top of the server in the left front corner. 2 In a Web browser, enter the following URL: http://SNAPnnnnnn (where SNAPnnnnnn is the server name) 3 Press Enter. The Web View screen opens. 4 Log into the Administration Tool and complete the Initial Setup Wizard. Click the administration link. In the login dialog box, enter admin as the user name and admin as the password, then click OK. Complete the setup procedure using the Initial Setup Wizard. To Connect to a Snap Server Using Snap Server Manager Snap Server Manager (SSM) is a Java-based, multiserver administrative application that runs on all major client platforms. Use SSM to discover, configure, and monitor all local and remote GuardianOS Snap Servers. You can download and install SSM using the Install_SnapServerTools.html file on your Snap Server User CD. Be sure to install SSM on a computer residing on the same network segment as your Snap Server(s). 1 Launch SSM. SSM discovers all Snap Servers on its local network segment and displays their server names, IP addresses, and other status information in the main console. If you do not have a DHCP server, there might be a delay before the server appears on the network. Note: To distinguish multiple Snap Servers, you may need to find their default server names as explained in the previous procedure. 2 If using a DHCP server, proceed to Step 3. Otherwise, assign an IP address to the server. In SSM, right-click the server name and select Set IP Address. Enter an IP address and a subnet mask, then click OK. 3 Launch a server's Administration Tool. In SSM, right-click a server name and select Launch Web Administration, as shown in the illustration. 4 Log into the Administration Tool and complete the Initial Setup Wizard. Click the administration link. In the login dialog box, enter admin as the user name and admin as the password, then click OK. Complete the setup procedure using the Initial Setup Wizard.
