First Time Deployment Options

In This Section: Zero Touch Cloud Service Deploying from a USB Drive or SD Card

There are different options for first time deployment of your Small and Medium Business (SMB) gateways:

• First Time Configuration Wizard - For more information, see the Getting Started Guide for your appliance model.
• Zero Touch Cloud Service
• USB Drive
• SD Card (1200R and 1400 appliances)

Zero Touch Cloud Service

The Zero Touch Cloud Service lets you easily manage the initial deployment of your gateways in the Zero Touch portal.

Zero Touch enables a gateway to automatically fetch settings from the cloud when it is connected to the internet for the first time.

Note - If you already used the First Time Configuration Wizard to configure your appliance, you cannot use the Zero Touch Cloud Service. If you start the First Time Configuration Wizard while the Zero Touch settings are being installed, the installation process terminates.

After the gateway downloads and successfully applies the settings, it does not connect to the Zero Touch server again.

For more information on how to use Zero Touch, see sk116375 and the Check Point Zero Touch User Guide.
