•Click the Setup button.

•Select Create Location, and change the location name from "New Locality" to "VPN 800/2 Firewall Router".

•Click Edit Location. Select TCP/IP for the Network field. (Leave the Phone Number blank.)

•Click Save, then OK. Configuration is now complete.

•Before clicking "Sign On", always ensure that you are using the "VPN 800/2 Firewall Router" location.
