Introduction
This chapter describes Acme Packet 6100 startup which involves two tasks:
•
Powering on the Acme Packet 6100.
• Creating the first console connection to the Acme Packet 6100.
You can perform these actions in any order. However, if your console
connection is configured first, you can observe the booting processes as your
Acme Packet 6100 goes online.
The last section of this chapter explains how to login to your system.
