Help | i-Series Appliance | Version 1.5.x

In order to manage your appliance, you must change the initial password and register the appliance with the Websense cloud service.

When you log back in to the appliance after completing the First-Time Configuration Wizard, the initial screen lets you change the password, if you have not already done so, in the Administrator Credentials box. If you changed the password before completing the wizard, the Administrator Credentials box does not appear on this page when you log back in.

This initial page also lets you enter your cloud service registration key. You should already have added this appliance to the Network Devices list in the cloud service portal. See Appliance quick start for information.

To register your appliance:

1.	Log on to the cloud portal and click Network Devices.

2.	Select the row that contains this appliance.

3.	Click Register at the bottom of the page to open the Register Appliance box.

4.	Copy the displayed registration key and click Close.

5.	Return to the appliance manager and paste the key into the Registration key field.

Click OK.

The appliance Status > General page appears and the initial Web URL category database download to the appliance starts. This first download activity may take a few hours to finish.

A download progress message and status indicator appear on the Status > General page. The message and indicator disappear when the initial download is complete.

During the initial download, all Web traffic is permitted in your network.
