When you log into the management center web interface for the first time, the management center presents
an Initial Configuration Wizard to enable you to quickly and easily configure basic settings for the appliance.
This wizard consists of three screens and one pop-up dialog box:
• The first screen forces you to change the password for the admin user from the default value of Admin123.
• The second screen presents the End User License Agreement (EULA), which you are required to accept

The wizard displays the results of these tests in real time on the screen, which allows you to make
corrections and test the viability of your configuration before clicking Finish at the bottom of the screen.
The NTP and DNS connectivity tests are nonblocking; you can click Finish before the wizard completes
the connectivity tests. If the system reports a connectivity problem after you click Finish, you cannot
change the settings in the wizard, but you can configure these connections using the web interface after
completing the initial setup.
The system does not perform connectivity testing if you enter configuration values that would result in
cutting off the existing connection between the management center and the browser. In this case the
wizard displays no connectivity status information for DNS or NTP.
