How to install Safepipe

Introduction

This guide will take you through the three-step installation procedure:

1. Initial installation.

2. Connecting to Safepipe's management interface.

3. Connecting Safepipe to your LAN.

Prerequisites

• You must determine the private (LAN) IP address that you want Safepipe to use, and the subnet mask.

  In the following, we will use the IP address 192.168.2.1 with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Do not use these values yourself - you must determine the correct ones for your network.

  The IP address must be permanently assigned to Safepipe and cannot be provided dynamically by DHCP.

  The IP address must be on the same local network as the PC that you will use to configure Safepipe.

• You must choose a secure password for the Safepipe configuration interface.

  The password should be at least 8 characters long, it should not be a word in any dictionary and it should contain numbers and non-alpha characters to make it harder to guess.
  
  Remember, it is an option to allow management of Safepipe over a secure HTTPS connection on the public Internet connection - if you do not choose a secure password then your Safepipe may be vulnerable to attack.
