1. Make sure you have an allocated Ethernet cable connected to the network for use with the unit.
2. Physically mount the unit in an ergonomically sound manner.
3. Connect the LAN cable to the primary LAN connection on the back of the chassis. Connect and/or verify that
the other end of the cable is connected to the proper network. If the unit has a failover module, connect the
secondary network LAN connection as well.
4. Connect the female end of the external power cord to the back of the chassis.
5.
Serial Connection to Target Devices : This manual contains detailed information on connecting the Dominion
SX unit to the console port of target devices.
6. Modem Connection (optional) : Connect a phone line to the modem port. Remember to write down the phone
number for this line, as it will be necessary later when the user configures a client for dialup networking.
7. Connect the male end of the external power cord to the power supply outlet and power ON the Dominion SX
unit.
Note : The unit will perform hardware and firmware self-test, indicated by the green light on the
back of the chassis, and then start the software boot sequence. The boot sequence takes
approximately 30-60 seconds and is complete when the green light goes out.
8. Perform a quick connectivity check by connecting to the device using either IE or Netscape. In the address line,
enter https://<IPAddress> where IPAddress is the IP address of the unit as previously configured. The login
display should appear verifying that the unit has been properly configured and can be accessed from the
network.
9. Enter the Configuration window and enter the various configuration parameters for each console port. Enter
specific operational parameters for the unit (please see Chapter 4: Console Features for additional
information).
