Check Point 1500 Appliance Series Overview

Check Point 1500 Appliance Series

Overview

Check Point 1500 appliance series includes the 1530, 1550, 1570, 1590, and 1570R appliances. These

appliances support the Check Point Software Blade architecture and provide independent modular and

centrally managed security building blocks. You can quickly enable and configure the Software Blades to

meet your specific security needs.

Check Point 1530, 1550, 1570, 1590, and 1570R appliances deliver integrated unified threat management

to protect your organization from today's emerging threats. Based on proven Check Point security

technologies such as Stateful Inspection, Application Intelligence, and SMART (Security Management

Architecture), the appliances provides simplified deployment while delivering uncompromising levels of

security.

These appliances run an embedded version of the Gaia operating system. The appliances include core

configuration elements such as clish interface, SNMPv2/3 and routing stack implementations. In addition

to the Gaia features, Embedded Gaia contains support for built-in network switches, wireless networks, 4G

LTE Internet connectivity, multiple Internet connections (more than 2) in High Availability or Load Sharing

mode, Policy Based Routing, and DDNS support. Quick deployment with USB is supported for all

appliances, and with SD card and Dual SIM card for the 1570 / 1590 appliances. For more information, see

the 1500 appliance series product page.

This guide describes all aspects that apply to the Check Point 1530 / 1550 and 1570 / 1590 Appliances.

Note - Some topics only apply to specific appliances or models.

Setting up the Check Point Appliance

1500 Appliance Series R80.20.15 Centrally Managed Administration Guide | 10

Setting up the Check Point

Appliance

To set up the Check Point 1530 / 1550, 1570 / 1590 and 1570R Appliance:

1. Remove the Check Point Appliance from the shipping carton and place it on a tabletop.

2. Identity the network interface marked as LAN1.

This interface is preconfigured with the IP address 192.168.1.1.

Connecting the Cables

To connect the cables:

1. Connect the power cable to the appliance. The appliance is connected directly to the power source.

1530 / 1550 appliances only: Turn on the power switch located on the back panel.

2. When the appliance is turned on, the Power LED on the front panel lights up in red for a short period.

The LED then turns blue and starts to blink. This shows a boot is in progress and firmware is being

installed.

When the LED turns a solid blue, the appliance is ready for login.

Note – The LED is red if there is an alert or error.

nIf you use an external modem:

Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the appliance back panel and plug it into your

external modem or router's PC/LAN network port. The Internet LED on the appliance front

panel lights up when the Ethernet is connected.

nIf you do not use an external modem:

Connect the telephone cable to the DSL port on the appliance back panel and plug it into the

DSL line socket. The DSL LED as well as the Internet Link LED remains off until you configure

the appliance, including setting up the DSL as an internet connection.

3. Connect the standard network cable to the LAN1 port on the appliance and to the network adapter

on your PC.

Note - Wait 10 seconds between power cycles (off and on).
