    Abstract: Process, equipment, and computer program product code for configuring a network security device using a hand-held computing device are provided. Default initial settings for a network security device are received by a mobile application running on a hand-held computing device. The default initial settings represent settings that allow the network security device to be remotely managed via a network to which the network security device is coupled. The default initial settings are presented to a network administrator via a touch-screen display of the hand-held computing device. Revisions to or acceptance of the default initial settings are received by the mobile application. The mobile application causes the network security device to be configured with the revised or accepted default initial settings by delivering the settings to the network security device via a management interface to which the hand-held computing device is coupled via a connecting cable.
