Check LEDs
When you connect power to your IPS, the system completes a series of component checks.
It then displays LEDs to show the status of each component. Refer to
on page 32 for more
information about the LEDs.
Setup wizard
After you have powered on, the TippingPoint Setup wizard is displayed on your COM port terminal.
The wizard prompts you to perform basic configuration tasks and periodically input information. You can
also use the LCD keypad to perform these tasks. After you run the setup, you can further configure your
system using subsequent setup commands through the Command Line Interface (CLI).
See the
IPS Command Line Interface Reference
for detailed instructions.
