BlackDoor Duo
Engage Black
2 Installation QuickStart
This QuickStart Chapter is intended for users who understand how they want their BlackDoor Duo
installed and congured and only require the mechanics of performing that installation.
2.1 Communication with BlackDoor Duo
2.1.1 Console Port
Initial communication with BlackDoor Duo unit is made through the Console port, utilizing the
Command Line interface, (CLI) detailed in Chapter 4: Command Line Interface.
Please use the provided USB to DB9 serial converter to connect to the BlackDoor Duo's USB port.
The DB9 side of the cable will connect to a computer that is running a Terminal Server program
(TeraTerm, HyperTerm, etc.). It is typical to connect the DB9 to another USB to DB9 serial
converter as DB9 serial ports are not common on todays computers. In this case, use the NULL
MODEM ADAPTER provided to allow communication between BlackDoor Duo and computer. The
use of the null modem adapter is necessary when using two USB to DB9 serial converter cables.
Once a serial connection between a workstation and the BlackDoor Duo console port is established
and a carriage return <CR> is entered, a Login prompt will appear.
The default login is: root.
The default password for rst time login is also root. It is highly recommended that the password
be changed upon initial login.
2.1.2 SSH
Once an IP address has been assigned, the user can log into the unit via the network and continue
conguration using SSH. Most SSH clients are compatible with the BlackDoor Duo.
2.2 Editing & Pasting Congurations
Users of either CLI have the option of editing a standard BlackDoor Duo conguration in a text
editor and pasting that conguration to BlackDoor Duo. The examples in this section are included
in a conguration le found on the shipping disk.
Edit the desired conguration listing using a simple text editor. Connect to the BlackDoor Duo unit
through SSH or the Console port, then enter the conguration mode with the command: cong.
Paste the edited text, comments and all, to the BlackDoor Duo, then issue the command: save.
The unit will reset and come up with the new conguration.
To save an BlackDoor Duo conguration to a le, issue the command: show conguration all,
and copy the output of the command to a le with your text editor.
2.3 BlackDoor Duo Cabling
BlackDoor Duo uses standard 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet cabling to connect to an Ethernet switch,
router or hub. A crossover 10/100/1000BaseT cable can be used for direct connection to a single
router, wireless radio or other Ethernet device.
