Chapter 2 Basic Installation and Configuration
The initial administrative setup of the ProSafe SSL VPN Concentrator 25 must be performed using
an Internet Explorer Browser 6.5.1 or higher, Apple Safari 1.2 or higher, or Mozilla 1.x. End Users
can use IE 6.5.1 or higher or Apple Safari 1.2 or higher. The browsers should also support
JavaScript, Java, cookies, SSL and ActiveX to take advantage of the full suite of applications.

Installing the SSL VPN Concentrator

Before installing the ProSafe SSL VPN Concentrator 25, make sure that your Ethernet network is
up and working. The ProSafe SSL VPN Concentrator 25 is a browser-based portal that connects to
your Ethernet network.
To set up the SSL VPN Concentrator:
1. Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter. If this PC is already part of your network, record its
TCP/IP configuration settings.
2. Configure your PC with a static IP address of 192.168.1.10 and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet
mask.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to Ethernet Port 1 on the front of the SSL VPN
Concentrator.
4. Connect the power cord to the SSL312, turn on the concentrator and verify the following:
• The PWR power light goes on.
• The system has initialized and the TEST light has gone off.
• One of the LAN lights is lit: either the 10 Mbps or the 100 Mbps LED should light
showing that a connectivity link as been established
Note: End Users can open and use a Mozilla 1.x browser after an initial connection has
been made using IE or Safari. If the IE or Safari browser is closed, the connection
will be lost.
