General Requirements
To manage the system, you need the following items for direct connection to the I30
SERIES chassis:
•
A management station, such as a PC running a terminal emulation application.
•
The RS232 cable provided with the package
Use the serial connection to perform initial configuration tasks including
assigning an IP address and network mask to the system. This information is required for
managing the system via the SNMP management interface.
2.3
Summary of Installation Procedures
Follow the steps listed below in order to install your I30 SERIES. Details for each of the
steps listed below are provided later in this chapter.
•
Ensure that the physical environment that will host the equipment has the proper
cabling and ventilation.
•
Verify that the LED's on the management card after power-on of the system.
•
A terminal or PC serial port connection is all that is required to support
configuration on the device.
•
For additional access security, assign a new password by using the command line
interface (CLI).
•
Before attaching equipment to the network, you need to configure an interface IP
address to the sub-net on which it will be located. Initial IP address configuration
is performed using the CLI with a direct serial connection.
•
Subsequent IP address configuration can be performed using the SNMP
operations.
•
I30 SERIES can be installed on a desktop or in a Din Rial rack.
•
Once the equipment is physically installed, connect the equipment into a nearby
power source or supply that adheres to the regulatory requirements.
•
Once you power on the device and assign an IP address, the system is ready to
talk to the network management.
•
Test IP connectivity to other devices by pinging them and tracing routes.
•
Continue configuring the device using the CLI or the SNMP management
interface.
