Using the Configuration Wizard
Using the LANGuardian Configuration Wizard
After you install LANGuardian from the ISO image, or deploy it as a VMware virtual appliance, you can access the user interface with a web browser.
The first time you access the LANGuardian user interface, it displays the Configuration Wizard. You will use the wizard to complete your LANGuardian installation and begin monitoring traffic data. The steps are as follows:
Step 1: Accept the license agreement
You must accept the license agreement to complete the configuration
Step 2: Verify the network settings
Verify the network settings that you entered when booting the ISO image or deploying the VMware appliance.
Step 3: Specify the Home network
In large networks, the Home network setting specifies the subnet in which the LANGuardian system is located. Do not change this setting
unless you know what you are doing.
Step 4: Specify a proxy server for LANGuardian updates
LANGuardian connects to the Internet to keep itself up to date by downloading updates from the NetFort website. If your network provides
access to the Internet through a proxy server, enter the address and port number.
Step 5: Specify the SMTP server to use for email
LANGuardian uses email to send scheduled reports to users and issue alerts when specified incidents occur or thresholds are breached. Enter the
address of the SMTP server that LANGuardian uses to send email.
Step 6: Set the system clock
You can set the LANGuardian system clock manually or you can synchronize it automatically with a reference clock on the Internet.
Step 7: Set the GUI password
Set the password that you will use to the log on to the LANGuardian user interface.

You are now ready to begin using LANGuardian to monitor activity on your network.
