To configure the appliance by using the Setup Wizard in the configuration utility, you need an administrative computer configured on the same network as the appliance. To run the configuration utility, the Java RunTime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2_04 or later must be installed on the workstation or laptop. You can use the Setup Wizard to configure the following initial settings on the appliance:

wSystem IP address and subnet mask

wSubnet or Mapped IP address and subnet mask

wDefault gateway

wTime zone

wLicenses

wAdministrator password

Important: Before running the Setup Wizard, you should download your licenses from the Citrix Web site and put them in a location on your computer or another device where you can access them from your Web browser during configuration.

Note: If the appliance is configured with the default IP address, licenses are not installed on the appliance, or the mapped or subnet IP address is not configured, the configuration utility automatically opens the Setup Wizard when you log on to the appliance.
