Nokia IP561 Security Platform Installation Guide 35
3 Performing the Initial Configuration
The first time you turn on power to a Nokia IP561 security platform, the initial configuration
process begins. This process enables you to configure the network settings and provides access
to the
admin account.
You can perform the initial configuration manually by using a console connection.
This chapter describes how to perform the initial configuration manually by using a console
connection. It includes the following sections:
„
Using a Console Connection
„
Connecting Power and Turning the Power On
„
Performing the Initial Configuration
„
Connecting Network Interfaces
„
Using Nokia Network Voyager
„
Using the Command-Line Interface
Note
Nokia recommends that you physically install all NICs and other hardware components
before you perform the initial configuration procedure this chapter describes. For information
about how to install NICs, see
Chapter 4, “Installing and Replacing Network Interface
Cards.” For information about how to install other components, see Chapter 6, “Replacing
Other Components.”
Using a Console Connection
You must use a serial console connection (cable included). After you perform the initial
configuration, you no longer need the console connection.
You can use any standard VT100-compatible terminal with an RS-232 data terminal equipment
(DTE) interface or terminal-emulation program configured with the following settings for the
console:
„
9600 bps
„
8 data bits
„
