First-Time Configuration
This chapter describes how to power ON the Cisco AS5300 universal access server and configure it
using the prompt-driven setup script (also called the System Configuration dialog). The following
sections are included:
•
Using the Setup Script
•
Where to Go Next
If you prefer to configure the access server manually, proceed to the next chapter “Using Cisco IOS
Software” to familiarize yourself with the command-line interface (CLI) and then proceed to the
following chapter “Basic Configuration” for step-by-step instructions.
Using the Setup Script
The setup script in this section uses the latest release version of Cisco IOS software.
Note If your system is running Cisco IOS Release 11.2 or 11.3(2)T, see the appendix “Using Setup
on Cisco IOS Releases 11.2 or 11.3(2)T” for intructions and screen displays.
Getting Started
Before you power on the access server and begin to use the setup script in the System Configuration
dialog, make sure you have already connected the cables to the access server and configured your
PC terminal emulation program for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. All
configuration will be performed from your PC terminal emulation program window.
The prompts and resulting messages vary depending on your responses. For most configurations,
you can press Enter to accept the default entries displayed in square ([]) brackets.
Note Information that you enter is in this
boldface
font. Also note that if you make a mistake
during the configuration, exit and run the System Configuration dialog again by pressing Ctrl-c, and
then type setup at the enable prompt (
5300#
).
