Set Up Wizard
The EXTender provides a console setup wizard that guides you through many of the required
programming/ configuration required to complete initial setup of the units, via the VT100 management
console accessed through the DB9 management port.
You can access the setup wizard through the console MI. This requires a PC connection to the unit via
the DB9 console port. The wizard requests basics configuration information to establish the initial
configuration programming. You can use the MI to configure parameters that are not configurable through
the wizard.
Standard Console User Interface vs. the Setup Wizard
When a unit is first powered up it checks a Setup Wizard flag. If the flag is set, the standard console UI is
displayed. If the flag is not set, the system prompts you to run the Setup Wizard. After this initial Setup
Wizard prompt, the system sets the Setup Wizard flag to prevent you from receiving this prompt again.
You can access the Setup Wizard through the console MI, if you want to run it later.
