Cisco Systems OL-20932-02 Manual De Usuario

To enable the Gateway communication with the Cisco PAM appliance, connect a PC to the ETH1 port 
and use a web browser to enter basic network settings, as described in this section. You can also use the 
web administration tool to perform basic administration and monitoring tasks, such as upgrading the 
module firmware or displaying the module serial number.

This section includes the following information:

You can also use the Cisco PAM desktop software to enter network settings and upgrade firmware 
images. See the 

.

Cisco Systems strongly recommends using a network time protocol (NTP) server to synchronize the date 
and time clock on each Gateway module, and on the Cisco PAM appliance. This ensures that events and 
messages between the server and the Gateway modules are in sync. If the time and date are not 
synchronized, inconsistent system behavior can occur.

We strongly recommend using the same NTP server setting for the Cisco PAM appliance, and for all 
Gateway modules.

Gateways can receive the NTP server setting from a DHCP server, or by using the Cisco PAM 
desktop software.

To enter the Gateway DHCP settings, see the 

If DHCP is used to define the Gateway NTP server, any NTP settings defined using the 
Cisco PAM desktop software will not apply (the DHCP configuration takes precedence). 

To enter the NTP setting for a single Gateway using Cisco PAM desktop software, choose 
Hardware from the Doors menu, right-click a Gateway module, and choose Set Gateway 
Address.

Beginning with Cisco PAM Release 1.3.0, you can also change the NTP server setting for 
multiple Gateways (Right-click the Access GW Driver and choose the Set NTP Server 
command). See the 

 for instructions. 

To enter the NTP setting on the Cisco PAM server, use the Cisco PAM web administration tool. See 
the 

 for instructions.
