Logging on and Licensing the Appliance

After your ProxySG is configured for network access, complete the installation by verifying network connectivity
and registering and licensing the appliance.
To complete the ProxySG installation:
1. Verify that you can log into the appliance via the Web browser. To log into the appliance:
a. Enter the ProxySG IP address into your web browser's Address or Location box using the following
format: https://proxy_ipaddress:8082.
b. Enter the user name and password specified during configuration to access the management interface.
The management interface loads within your browser window.
2.

After login, register and activate your license. If you have a Full Proxy Edition license, go to step a; if you
have an Acceleration Edition license, go to step b.
a. To activate a license from the Advanced Management Console, navigate to the License page:
Maintenance > Licensing > Install and click Retrieve. The request License Key dialog displays. Go to
step c to finish licensing the appliance.

Problem: The System and Power LEDs are green, but there is no network connectivity.
Solution: Check the network connections to verify that they are not loose. Otherwise, the problem might be a
bad network cable or an issue with the router/switch.
Problem: ,DPXQDEOHWRDFFHVVWKH3UR[\6*VPDQDJHPHQWFRQVROHXVLQJP\EURZVHU

that no other devices on the network are attempting to use the same IP address.
Problem: I receive an invalid certificate warning when attempting to access the management console using
my browser.
