Configuring the MAG2600, MAG-SM160, and MAG-
SM360 Service Modules
When you boot an unconfigured service module, you need to enter basic network and machine information
through the serial console to make the service module accessible to the network. After entering these settings,
you can continue configuring the service module through the administrator Web console.
During this basic setup process, you define the “personality” of the service module. For example, you can set
up the service module to act as an SSL VPN device (like the SA Series SSL VPN Appliances) or as a network
security policy management device (like the IC Series Unified Access Control Appliances). You can switch
personalities at any time by reconfiguring the service module.
NOTE: The MAG-SM360-PROFILER service module has similar hardware but is different from a MAG-SM360
service module. It is not an integrated service module. The MAG-SM360-PROFILER can be installed into a
MAG6610 or MAG6611 chassis. It has Great Bay Software Beacon Endpoint Profiler software preinstalled.
You cannot boot a different software image to change the personality of the MAG-SM360-PROFILER service
module. See Configuring the MAG-SM360-PROFILER Service Module for information on the basic setup for
the MAG-SM360-PROFILER.
NOTE: The installation process may take up to 20 minutes. To perform basic setup:
1. Configure a console terminal or terminal emulation utility running on a computer, such as
HyperTerminal, to use these serial connection parameters:
• 9600 bits per second
• 8-bit no parity (8N1)
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control
2. Connect the terminal or laptop to the serial cable plugged in to the service module’s console port, and
press Enter until you are prompted by the initialization script.
3. Enter the number corresponding to the personality for which you want to configure the service module.
For example, if your screen looks like this:
Please select a factory-reset personality:
[1] Pulse Secure Access Service 7.1 R1
[2] Pulse Access Control Service 4.1 R1
Press 1 to install the Pulse Secure Access Service package. Press 2 to install the Pulse Access Control
Service package.
4. Enter y to proceed, and then enter y to accept the license terms (or enter r to read the license first).
