Barracuda Server User Manual

The Barracuda Enterprise IM Server is an IM gateway and server appliance that is
installed between your internal network and the Internet. It provides a secure internal IM
service for your company, as well as a way to log and manage all public IM traffic. The
Barracuda Enterprise IM Server provides identity management, keyword notification, and
integrates with your existing LDAP or Active Directory server to provide IM security and
management capabilities at the organizational, group, or even user level.

Getting Started

This guide provides you with setup instructions for the Barracuda Enterprise IM
Server. We recommend reading these instructions fully before starting the setup.
To begin setting up your Barracuda Enterprise IM Server, you need the following
items:

 Barracuda Enterprise IM Server
 AC Power Cord
 (2) Ethernet Cables
 Mounting Rails (model 620/820 only)
 VGA Monitor (recommended)
 PS2 Keyboard (recommended)

Physical Installation

To install the Barracuda Enterprise IM Server:

1. Fasten the Barracuda Enterprise IM Server to a 19-inch rack or place it in a
stable location.

2. Connect an Ethernet Cable from your network switch to the LAN ethernet
port on the front panel of the Barracuda Enterprise IM Server. When the
Barracuda Enterprise IM Server is configured using the inline setup, you will
use both the LAN and WAN ports to connect.

3. Connect a Standard VGA Monitor, PS2 Keyboard, and AC power cord to the
unit.
Note: Immediately after connecting an AC Power Cord to the unit, it may
power ON for a few seconds and then power OFF. This is because the unit is
designed to automatically return to a powered ON state in the event of a
power outage.

4. Press the POWER button on the front panel to turn the unit on.
