To configure the Citrix Gateway (the physical appliance or the VPX virtual appliance) for the first time, you need an administrative computer configured on the same network as the appliance.

Assign a Citrix Gateway IP (NSIP) address as the management IP address of your appliance and a subnet IP (SNIP) address to which your servers can connect. You assign a subnet mask that applies to both Citrix Gateway and SNIP addresses and also configure a time zone. If you assign a host name, you can access the appliance by specifying its name instead of the NSIP address.

There are two sections in the First-time Setup Wizard. In the first section, you configure the basic system settings for the Citrix Gateway appliance including:

NSIP address, SNIP address, and subnet mask
Appliance host name
DNS servers
Time zone
Administrator password

In the second section, you install licenses. If you specify the address of a DNS server, you can use the hardware serial number (HSN) or license key to allocate your licenses, instead of uploading your licenses from a local computer to the appliance.

Note: Citrix recommends saving your licenses to your local computer.

When you finish configuring these settings, Citrix Gateway prompts you to restart the appliance. When you log on to the appliance again, you can use other wizards and the configuration utility to configure other settings.
