3. Connecting the Media Flow Engine to a Management Console or Network
Before powering on your appliance, connect it to a local area network using one of the
Ethernet ports, or to a local management console through a direct serial connection to
the CONSOLE port. You use this connection to manage the power-on process and initial
configuration.
To connect to a management console:
1.
Insert the supplied RJ-45 cable in the CONSOLE port on the front panel of the
appliance.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to your console server or terminal server.
To connect to a network:
1.
Insert an RJ-45 Ethernet cable into one of the Ethernet ports on the front panel of
the appliance.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to your Ethernet network.
4. Powering On the Media Flow Engine
To power on the appliance and configure the Ethernet address:
1.
Connect the appliance to a local console or terminal server.
2.
Verify that the power source is operational.
3.
Inspect all grounding and power connections to the appliance chassis.
4.
Confirm that all cable connections are secure.
5.
Press and release the momentary rocker power switch on the rear panel of the chassis
to power on the appliance.
6.
Monitor LEDs on the appliance to verify that the appliance is booting properly.
During initial power-on, the components of the platform run boot code, go through
a series of self-diagnostic tests, and synchronize with each other.
The appliance boots to a login prompt,
mfc-unconfigured-
MAC-address
login:
, where
MAC-address
is the part of the MAC address for the Ethernet port 0 (eth0) hardware.
This is the default hostname for the appliance.
