Prefaces
- Usually, the installation wizard appears during the initial setup of the UTM.
This checks whether a configuration already exists that is marked as the boot configuration. (Status )
If this is not the case, the wizard opens automatically. - It is not advisable to start the installation wizard later, as other settings made in the meantime may be overwritten.

|---|---|---|---|
| Firewall Name: | firewall.ttt-point.local | This is about how the UTM responds to requests. For example, if the mail relay is to be used, it may be useful to enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the mail exchange (MX) here so that other mail servers can match it via the reverse resolution of the PTR Resource Record (PTR). This setting is made in the Authentication → AD/LDAP Authentication → tab Settings Appliance Account entry. | |
| Global contact person: | Alina Admin | In this field, the name of the administrator or the organization is entered, which is later specified in the UTM error messages for questions. | |

Step 4 - InternetThis is where the Internet connection is configured on the external interface (A0). | |||
Connection type PPPoE / VDSL Connection type:
| |||
| With this type, an ADSL or SDSL modem is connected to the external interface (A0). The connection is initiated by the UTM. | |||
| Username: | (Shares ISP) | The login information is provided by the ISP (Internet Service Provider). | ![]() Step 4 with PPPoE / VDSL

Connection type Ethernet with static IP Connection type:
| |||
| With this connection type, a router is connected to the external interface (A0), which itself initiates the connection to the Internet. The login information of the provider is stored in the preceding router and not on the UTM. | |||
| External IP address: | The IP address of the external interface (A0) and the IP address range for the external network (subnet mask in CIDR notation). The default is an already existing IP address, if applicable. The external interface receives an IP address via DHCP by default, provided a DHCP server is available in the external network. |
![]() Step 4 with Ethernet with static IP
| |
| Default Gateway: | IP address of the default gateway for the UTM so that it knows which is the closest router for all networks that are not on an internal interface: As a rule: the Internet. | ||
| IPv6 Prefix Delegation: | Off | Allows an IPv6 network assigned by the Internet Service Provider to be split into /64 networks and assigned to individual interfaces via Router Advertisement. Example: Network assigned by ISP: 2001:0db8:aaaa:bb::/56 Networks distributed at internal interfaces via router adviertisement: 2001:0db8:aaaa:bb00::/64 2001:0db8:aaaa:bb01::/64 | |
Connection type Cable modem with DHCP Connection type:
Originally mostly devices that cable providers provided to their customers. | |||
| Also with this connection type, a router is connected to the external interface (A0), which itself initiates the connection to the Internet. The login information of the provider is stored in the preceding router and not on the UTM. |
![]() Step 4 with cable modem with DHCP
| ||
| DHCP Client: | Selection with which protocol the interface receives IP addresses from the preceding router with DHCP server. | ||
| Use the provider's DNS server: | Off | When activated, the provider's DNS server is used. | |
| IPv6 Prefix Delegation: | Off | Allows an IPv6 network assigned by the Internet Service Provider to be split into /64 networks and assigned to individual interfaces via Router Advertisement. Example: Network assigned by ISP: 2001:0db8:aaaa:bb::/56 Networks distributed at internal interfaces via router adviertisement: 2001:0db8:aaaa:bb00::/64 2001:0db8:aaaa:bb01::/64 | |

| DMZ IP address: | The IP address of the interface A2 and the subnet mask (as CIDR notation) for the DMZ network. | ![]() Step 6 without WLAN
| |
| Assign the IP addresses to the clients in this network via DHCP: | No | When enabled Yes, the UTM works as a DHCP server: All clients in the DMZ network receive an IP address via DHCP. This sets the UTM as the default gateway and DNS server for the clients. | |
| Autogenerated rules: | No | Port filtering rules can be automatically created for this network, allowing traffic to the Internet on the interface to the external interface (A0). Likewise, rules are created that also allow traffic from the internal network into the DMZ network. notempty These any rules are intended for testing purposes and should be disabled and replaced with well-defined rules in production mode. | |
