To help you easily identify and understand important information, our
documentation uses the stylistic conventions described below.
SM
Using the solution examples
Identifying new terms
1 - 8
Examples in this documentation use only private class IP addresses. When
you set up the solutions we describe, you must use valid IP addresses
suitable to your own network in place of our sample addresses.
When we first define a new term, the term is shown in bold italic text. For
example, the Web UI is the browser-based utility for administering the
WANJet appliance.
Page 19
Introducing the WANJet 500 Platform
Identifying references to objects, names, and commands
We apply bold formatting to a variety of items to help you easily pick them
out of a block of text. These items include web addresses, IP addresses,
utility names, and portions of commands, such as variables and keywords.
For example, to discover devices requires that you include at least one
<ip_address> or an <ip_subnet> variable.
Identifying references to other documents
We use italic text to denote a reference to another document. In references
where we provide the name of a book as well as a specific chapter or section
in the book, we show the book name in bold, italic text, and the
chapter/section name in italic text to help quickly differentiate the two. For
example, you can find information about setting up optimization policies in
the Advanced Configuration chapter of the WANJet
Administrator Guide.
Identifying command syntax
®
Appliance
We show complete commands in bold Courier text. Note that we do not
include the corresponding screen prompt, unless the command is shown in a
figure that depicts an entire command line screen. For example, the
following command shows how to trace the route of IP packets from the
WANJet command line interface:
traceroute <ip_address>
Table 1.1 explains additional special conventions used in command line
syntax.

Installing the hardware
After you have reviewed the hardware requirements and become familiar
with the WANJet 500, you can install the unit.
This chapter includes detailed instructions on installing and setting up the
WANJet platform. The same instructions appear in a briefer format in the
WANJet 500 Appliance Quick Start Card. If you have already followed the
instructions on the card, and have completed the installation successfully,
you may not need to read this chapter. It describes the same installation
procedure in more detail.
Types of mounts
Two types of mounts are available for the WANJet 500: the standard
front-rack mount that comes with the WANJet 500, and a rail mount that
allows you to slide the unit in and out as needed. The installation of the
WANJet 500 hardware differs depending on which type of mount you
decide to use.
Installing the WANJet 500 Platform
◆ Standard front mount
To install the WANJet 500 platform using the standard front-rack mount
that comes with the hardware, follow the instructions in To install the
unit into a standard-mount rack, on page 2-2.
◆ Optional rail mount
To install the WANJet 500 platform into a rail mount, first attach the
included rail-mount kit. Then, you can install the unit into the rack. For
details, refer to Appendix A, Installing the WANJet Appliance Using the
Rail-Mount Kit.
Whichever mount you are using, read the following general
recommendations before installing the WANJet 500.
General recommendations for mounting a unit in a rack
We recommend that all units have 1U of extra space between them when
mounted in a rack to allow for a rack mounting shelf, and to provide
additional air circulation for cooling the unit.
Although not required, the 1U of space between units makes it easier to
remove the unit from the rack in the event that the unit requires service. A
1U space between units also provides additional cable routing options.
Platform Guide: WANJet® 500 2 - 1
Page 24
Chapter 2
We recommend that you allow about 4 inches (100 mm) of space from the
front panel of the unit to the rack front or rack door. This provides enough
room to route the cables without bending them excessively.
WARNING
This product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). We recommend
that when handling the unit, use proper ESD grounding procedures and
equipment.
Installing the WANJet 500 hardware
To use the standard front mount to hold the WANJet 500 unit, follow the
procedure in this section.
You may need a shelf or similar device to support the unit if a single person
is installing the unit. To prevent personal injury or damage to the unit, we
recommend having at least two people to perform the installation.
You can also install the unit onto any flat surface without having to install it
into a rack. In that case, continue on to Powering up the WANJet 500
platform, on page 2-5.
To install the unit into a standard-mount rack
1. Attach the rack-mount ears to the unit, using four black screws per
ear.
2. If desired, attach the handles to the rack-mount ears using the
provided screws.
3. Lift the unit into place.
4. Secure the unit using the four rack-mounting screws that are
provided.
You need to tighten the screws to secure the unit to the rack to
provide adequate stability and to prevent the unit from falling out of
the rack. Securing the unit to the rack with the screws also provides
adequate grounding.
If the rack does not provide adequate support for the unit, you may need a
shelf kit. We recommend that you use the shelf kit created by the rack
manufacturer. (Some rack manufacturers provide shelf kits for their racks.)

Installing the WANJet 500 Platform
Powering up the WANJet 500 platform
After you have installed the WANJet 500 platform, you can power it up.
Two power cords provide a redundant power supply.
To power up the WANJet platform
1. Insert the two power cords into the two power supplies (numbers 5
and 6 in Figure 1.4, on page 1-6) on the back of the WANJet
platform.
2. Plug each power cord into a separate power outlet (preferably to
different power circuits).
3. Press the power switch on the back of the unit (number 4 in
Figure 1.4, on page 1-6).
The unit starts up, and you may hear a warning sound.
If one of the power cords is not connected, or fails, the unit continuously
sounds a warning beep. To disable this sound, press the power supply alarm
mute switch (number 3 in Figure 1.4, on page 1-6).
When the appliance is running, the LCD displays the default IP address of
192.168.168.100. Wait approximately 10 more seconds for the operating
system to finish loading.
Platform Guide: WANJet® 500 2 - 5
Page 28
Chapter 2
Configuring the addresses
After the WANJet platform is powered on and started up, you need to do
some minimal configuration, such as entering the WANJet appliance IP
address, its subnet mask, and default gateway. You can configure the
addresses in one of two ways:
• Set the addresses using the four-key LCD keypad.
• Set the addresses using the config command from a serial console or PC.
The advantage of using the LCD keypad is that you do not have to connect
another computer to the platform. When you finish the initial configuration
on the LCD, you can log in to the Web UI from your computer as you
normally would to manage the device.
The advantage of using a serial console or PC is that the configuration is
easier from the command line than it is using arrow keys on the LCD
keypad. Connecting the console or PC is easy, and a few additional
commands are available from the command line.
It is up to you which method you prefer. The following procedures describe
both methods. The procedure on using the LCD describes minimal
configuration only. For details on the using the LCD, see Operating the
LCD panel, on page 3-1. If you want to use the config command, skip to To
set the addresses using a serial console or PC, on page 2-7.

Glossary
In a redundant system, the active unit is the system that currently optimizes
connections. If the active unit in the redundant system fails, the standby unit
assumes control and begins to optimize connections. See also redundant
system.
Application QoS provides better service for specific data flows by
configuring policies that can adjust the bandwidth consumed by specific
types of network traffic (also referred to as traffic shaping). This way, you
can use the network bandwidth optimally for critical network traffic. See
also Quality of Service (QoS) level.
Connection Interception (CI) intercepts and resets connections that were
initiated before the WANJet appliance became active on the network.
Failover is the process whereby a standby unit in a redundant system takes
over when a software failure or a hardware failure is detected on the active
unit.

generic routing encapsulation
Layer 1 through Layer 7
LCD
An FRU is a part of the appliance that is replaceable. You can order FRUs to
replace certain parts of the unit including the fan tray, fan filter, drive tray,
and power supply.
Generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunneling typically connects private IP
networks over an Internet connection using two routers (or switches) that
support GRE encapsulation.
Layers 1 through 7 refer to the seven layers of the Open System
Interconnection (OSI) model. Thus, Layer 1 represents the physical layer,
Layer 2 represents the data-link layer, Layer 3 represents the IP layer, and
Layer 4 represents the transport layer (TCP and UDP). Layer 5 manages
connections between applications, and Layer 6 represents the presentation
layer. Layer 7 represents the application layer, handling traffic such as
HTTP and SSL.
LCD stands for liquid crystal display. An LCD panel is available on the
front of the WANJet 500 platform. You can use the LCD and its associated
keypad to configure the LAN, WAN, and Management ports on the unit and
perform basic administration tasks.

See Layer 1 through Layer 7.
The Peer port on the front of the WANJet 500 is an Ethernet port that can
connect using a crossover cable to a second WANJet 500 to form a
redundant system. See also redundant system.
Quality of Service (QoS) level
rail mount
redundant system
router
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
The Quality of Service (QoS) level is a means by which network equipment
can identify and treat traffic differently based on an identifier. Essentially,
the QoS level specified in a packet enforces a throughput policy for that
packet. See also Application QoS.
A type of mount that attaches rails to the sides of the unit so that you can
slide it in and out of the rack.
Redundant system refers to a pair of units that are configured for failover. In
a redundant system, there are two units, one running as the active unit and
one running as the standby unit. If the active unit fails, the standby unit takes
over and manages connection requests.
A router is a Layer 3 networking device. If no VLANs are defined on the
network, a router defines a broadcast domain.
SSL is a network communications protocol that uses public-key technology
as a way to transmit data in a secure manner.

standby unit
A standby unit in a redundant system is a unit that is always prepared to
become the active unit if the active unit fails.
Transparent Data Reduction™ (TDR)
TDR technology provides a dramatic reduction in the amount of bandwidth
consumed by repeated data transfers across a WAN link.
Type of Service (ToS) level
The Type of Service (ToS) level is another means, in addition to the Quality
of Service (QoS) level, by which network equipment can identify and treat
traffic differently based on an identifier.
WAN (wide area network)
A WAN is a computer network that spans a large geographic area, and
typically consists of two or more local area networks (LANs). A WAN may
also include public or shared user networks. The most well-known example
of a WAN is the Internet.
