Connecting and Powering up the Application
Gateway
In geographic regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, Nortel
recommends that you plug the Application Gateway into an AC surge
suppressor.
The default IP address of the Application Gateway is 10.20.30.40, with a
netmask of 255.255.0.0. You will likely need to change that default address
to match your network scheme. You can either use the serial console
interface or the Web-based Administration Tool to change the IP address.
Note
Use the procedure in this section if you will use a serial console to change
the Application Gateway network settings. To use the Web-based
interface, see
“Alternate Procedure if Using a Crossover Cable,” page 13
.
To connect and power up the Application Gateway:
1
Connect the Application Gateway to the network.
WARNING
Do not modify or use a supplied AC power cord
if it is not the exact type required in the region
where the Application Gateway is installed and
used.
Be sure to replace the cord with the correct type.
