destination end of the cable can be either LC or SC, depending on the type
of connector required for the destination Gigabit Ethernet device. You can
also use a half-duplex LC-to-LC cable to loop back the transmit port of an
interface to the receiver port.
For details, see “Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet Connectors and Cables” on
page 69.
After you connect the network interfaces, continue with Chapter 3,
The first time you turn power on to a Nokia appliance, the initial
configuration process begins. This process enables you to configure the
network settings and provides access to the admin account.
You can perform the initial configuration in two ways.
You can configure a DHCP server to provide the initial configuration
information the first time the appliance is started.
You can perform the initial configuration manually by using a console
connection.
This chapter describes how to perform the initial configuration manually by
using a console connection. It includes the following sections:
Using a Console Connection
Using Nokia Network Voyager
Using the Command-Line Interface
Using Nokia Horizon Manager
For information about how to use the DHCP client for initial configuration,
see the Read Me First document.
If you have not already done so, you need to connect to the console port to
complete the initial configuration. For information about console connections,
see “Connecting to the Console or Auxiliary Port” on page 32.
Before you perform the initial configuration, you might gather the following
information, which can be useful during the configuration process:
What is the hostname?
What is the admin password?
Will you use Nokia Network Voyager for subsequent configuration?
Which interface will you use?
What is the assigned IP address and masklength?
What is the default router?
What is the interface speed?
Note
The default interface speed for the appliance is 1000 Mb ps.
You can make VLAN, SNMP community string, and remote logging
configuration choices at this time, although you can change them later.
To perform the initial configuration
1. Press the power switch to the “on” position to turn on power to the
The fans on the back of the appliance turn on when you press the power
switch. Verify that the fans are running after you press the switch.
Check the power LED on the front panel of the appliance (the Nokia logo)
to ensure that the power supply is operating correctly. The power LED
should be illuminated. For more information about the system status
LEDs, see “System Status LEDs” on page 23.
If the power supply fans are not running, or if the power LED is not
illuminated:
Check the power supply cord to make sure it is properly connected.
Make sure the power switch is on.
Make sure the chassis tray assembly is pushed all the way in from the
front of the appliance and that the front panel retaining screws are
tightened.
Make sure that power is turned on to the power strip or wall receptacle
you plugged the appliance in to.
If the fans are still not running, or if the power LED does not illuminate,
contact your Nokia service provider as listed in “Nokia Contact
Information” on page 3 for technical support.
2. At the console a series of startup messages appears, then the console
prompt appears.
The prompt remains on the screen for about five seconds. If you type any
character during this time, the appliance activates the Nokia IPSO boot
manager.
BOOTMGR[0]>
Note
For information about using the boot manager, see the Nokia IPSO
Boot Manager Reference Guide.
After some miscellaneous output, the following prompt appears:
If the Hostname? prompt does not appear on the console, check the
console port and console display connections to ensure that the serial
cable is completely plugged in at both ends. If you verify the console
connections and still do not see either the BOOTMGR> or Hostname?
prompts, verify that the terminal or terminal emulator program settings
are correct. If the settings are correct, contact your Nokia service provider
as listed in “Nokia Contact Information” on page 3.
3. Respond to the Hostname? prompt within 30 seconds to prevent the
DHCP client from starting.
If the DHCP client starts, it might configure the appliance with an
incorrect host name and IP address (this could happen if a DHCP server
on your network is configured to respond to any request). To reset the
incorrect host name and IP address:
a. Establish a console connection to the appliance.
b. Enter the following:
rm /config/active
or
mv /config/active /config/active.old
c. Reboot the appliance.
d. Respond to the Hostname? prompt within 30 seconds to prevent the
DHCP client from restarting.
4. At each subsequent prompt, type the requested configuration information
and then press Enter.

Using Nokia Horizon Manager
Nokia Horizon Manager is an extension of the Network Voyager management
functionality.
While Network Voyager provides the device administrator access to network
configuration tasks (such as interface configuration and routing configuration)
and security configuration tasks (such as user configuration and access
configuration), Horizon Manager concentrates on secure software image,
inventory, and management of Nokia IP appliances.
Using Horizon Manager, an administrator can obtain configuration
information, upgrade (or downgrade) the operating system, perform
application installations, and distribute necessary licensing to multiple
appliances simultaneously, thereby reducing potential human error and
improving productivity.
Using Horizon Manager, a network security professional can manage multiple
devices simultaneously, perform parallel software upgrades, device
verifications, device configuration, file backups, and more.
Using Nokia Horizon Manager
Horizon Manager is designed to manage and configure a large number of
Nokia security appliances that reside on a corporate enterprise, managed
service provider (MSP), or hosted applications service provider network
(ASP).
For information about how to obtain Horizon Manager or to learn more about
the Horizon Manager, see “Nokia Contact Information” on page 3.
