how to install XG home on XG 85 HW without an HDMI port

Gary21

I just got a Sophos XG 85 and need to install XG home on it.  Being that the box does not have an HDMI slot, and I have all Macs, how do I perform the install without a screen?  Or how do I get this to output to a screen during the initial install?

Thanks

    basically you are going to need a monitor and keyboard after that the network connections work well. I use MACs, but for the inital build I use a monitor and keyboard.

    Thanks Ian.  The problem here is that the Xg 85 does not have any kind of video out connections.  It has a com port, but I have nothing that can utilize that.  For now, I have actually decided to go with UTM 9.x instead, but still have the same issue, that I do not see how to do this as a headless install.
