Transcript : So in this How To video, I’m going to walk you through how to connect to the administration console and install the administration to…of the 4.6.1edition of Access Gateway Standard. So, first thing I need to do, is to open my browser and connect to my Access Gateway. And we can see my server listed there. Again, this is a fresh install. I have no certificates, I have no licenses installed. So I should be prompted with a certificate error, as you can see. So I will just click Continue. I haven’t changed any…the root passwords, so it’s still root…root admin. So, as you can see from the downloads, here’s…I want to download the Administration Tool. Just have a quick check on the version, so you can see what version I’m using. As you can see, I’m using version 4.6.1, build 27, which is the retail version that was released at the end of October 2009. Let’s go back to downloads and we have decided to install the Win32 Administration Tool. It’s actually pulled down from the administration…the Access Gateway appliance. So we’ll just continue the installation steps, and it doesn’t really ask you too much during the install. I’m going to do a typical install, and we’ll proceed with the installation. So once that’s done, it should add our shortcut to our console and to the start programs. And then we’ll just quickly log on just to make sure we’re able to access the appliance. So, that’s finished. So a quick enough install. Let’s just close down the browser, and we’ll proceed to launch the console demonstration tool, so 4.6.1 tool. So it’s asking us for the host IP or FQDN. I haven’t any certificates on, I don’t have any FQDN assigned just yet, ‘cause it’s a clean install. So I’ll just supply it with my IP address for Ethernet zero and the root password, which is default root admin. Again, first time install. I don’t have any certificates installed, so I’m just going to trust the default certificate, which is on the appliance. I’ll apply my own later. So that’s brought me in; it’s just refreshing some information. Once that’s done, we’ll just make sure that we have…we can see our gateway and all settings on the gateway. So now you, as you can see, it’s just giving me a warning about the license. I’m in a grace period mode. I have three days left and 22 hours 44 minutes, so I need to license that. But I expected to see that, ‘cause I don’t have any license on it. Let’s click OK, and we’ll just load up and we can see that we only have one interface enabled and my default IP. And that’s how to download and install the console.
