3 UNIT CHECKOUT AND FIRMWARE
UPGRADES
If you are a first time user we recommended that you perform an initial check on the bench before a
field installation. For this bench check out you need two NetCrossing Gateway
units and a crossover
Ethernet cable to connect the two units back to back. You may also connect them through an
Ethernet switch using two standard Ethernet cables.
In this checkout use the Console port to configure the units. You can also do this using the LAN port
connected to a PC and running the program ECON described in appendix C.
3.1 Bench Check Out
1. Connect each NetCrossing Gateway front panel Console Port to a terminal, or a PC running a
terminal emulation program. Configure the terminal settings as follows:
Baud rate: 9600
Word length: 8 bits
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
2. Connect the WAN port labeled “Swicth” of one NetCrossing Gateway to the same port of the
second gateway using an ethernet crossover cable.
3. Connect the Power Supplies of the two units to a power outlet of the appropriate voltage.
4. The terminals should display a banner identifying the unit serial number, hardware and software
versions, followed by the command prompt:
nxg-nnnnn #>
where nnnnn are the last five digits of the unit serial number (the prompt may be the unit name if
that has been pre-configured).
5. Configure the first gateway starting from the factory default configuration by typing the
commands:
> load factory
> e1a loopback=output
> e1b clock=off
> save-configuration
Set the second gateway to a “compatible” mode by typing the commands:
> load factory
> e1a clock=internal loopback=output
> e1b clock=off
> wan peer-sn=NNNNN (numeric digits of the peer unit serial number – no leading zeros)
> save-configuration
