Connect the Cables
Before beginning, make sure that the necessary cables are available. For more
information on cabling requirements and specifications, see Appendix C, "Cable
Specifications."
1. Connect the HA4000 RS-232 craft port directly to a PC or workstation using a
DB-9 null modem cable.
2. Connect the HA4000 management port to a LAN or directly to a PC using a
Category 5 STP cable with an RJ-45 connector.
3. When connecting the device directly to a PC, use a shielded Category 5
crossover cable, and make sure that the PC and management port IP
addresses are on the same subnet.
4. After taking the necessary precautions to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD), plug a GBIC module into the HA4000 gateway’s remote port,
and then connect it to the WAN. For more information on ESD protection, see
Appendix D, "Electrostatic Discharge."
5. Plug a second GBIC module into the HA4000 gateway’s local port, and then
connect it to the local device, such as a server or switch.

Warning
When the dust covers are removed and no cable is connected, radiation can be
emitted from aperture ports of single- or multi-mode interfaces. Avoid exposure,
Note:
and do not stare into the open apertures.
Power On the HA4000
Applying power to the HA4000 initializes the system, which includes these actions:
z
Initializes the components.
z
Performs hardware diagnostics.
z
Loads the software. The software is preinstalled on the HA4000; it can,
however, be reinstalled if it is corrupted or accidentally deleted.
z
Verify power supply voltage.
To power on the HA4000, take these steps:
1. Connect the unit’s power adapter on the HA4000 rear panel.
2. Apply power to the unit.
The power LED illuminates when the unit is powered up.
About a minute after power up, the alarm LED begins blinking and
continues to blink for several minutes until the boot process is complete.
The green power LED remains lit until the unit is powered off.
If the boot process fails, the failure LED illuminates, and the HA4000
gateway generates a “critical error” trap.
