Basic Setup for Secure Access Appliances
When you boot an unconfigured Secure Access appliance, you need to enter basic network
and machine information through the serial console to make the appliance accessible
to the network. After entering these settings, you can continue configuring the appliance
through the administrator Web console. This topic describes the required serial console
setup and the tasks you need.
To perform basic setup:
1. Configure a console terminal or terminal emulation utility running on a computer, such
as HyperTerminal, to use these serial connection parameters:
•
9600 bits per second
•
8-bit No Parity (8N1)
•
1 Stop Bit
•
No flow control
2. Connect the terminal or laptop to the serial cable plugged in to the appliance’s console
port and press Enter until you are prompted by the initialization script.
3. Enter y to proceed and then y to accept the license terms (or r to read the license
first).
4. Follow the directions in the serial console and enter the machine information for which
you are prompted, including the:
•
IP address of the internal port (you configure the external port through the
administrator Web console after initial configuration)
•
Network mask
•
Default gateway address
•
Primary DNS server address
