Chapter 2: Installation
This section describes the steps necessary to configure Dominion SX for use on a local area network (LAN). All
new Dominion SX units come with default network settings, illustrated in the table below. Once units are connected
to the network, these default settings will allow the user to configure Dominion SX for normal use.
There are three separate tasks you must complete to use Dominion SX on the network: Hardware Installation, Initial
Software Configuration, and Dominion SX Deployment, usually completed in this order, and each described in this
chapter.
Hardware Installation describes how to connect the Dominion SX unit to a computer to perform the initial
configuration of the unit. This step requires an additional computer that will be used to log into the Dominion SX
unit and configure it for the first time in the next section.
Initial Software Configuration describes how to connect to Dominion SX in its default state and to configure it for
use in a specific network environment.
Dominion SX Deployment describes how to install a Dominion SX unit on the network once the Initial Software
Configuration is complete.
Pre-Configuration Notes
The following list includes information that you will be required to supply to complete the configuration of the
Dominion SX. Obtain all required configuration information prior to performing the configuration steps outlined
below. If you are uncertain of any information, contact your system administrator for assistance.
