Gathering Information

Before configuring the appliance, you need to gather the following information. You are prompted for some of this information when running Setup Wizard (see Web-Based Configuration Using Setup Wizard) or Setup Tool (see Configuring a New Appliance Using Setup Tool), but most of it will be used when you configure the appliance in AMC (see Network and Authentication Configuration).
