Where to Find More Information

1

Ensure that the physical environment that will host the 
device has the proper cabling and ventilation. 

2

Install the device in an equipment rack.

3

Attach a terminal or PC to the device. This will enable you 
to configure the device through the Command Line 
Interface (CLI). 

4

Plug the device into a nearby power source that adheres to 
the regulatory requirements outlined in this manual. 

5

No default password is assigned to the CLI.  For additional 
access security, assign a password.

6

Before attaching equipment to the device, you need to 
configure an interface IP address to the subnet on which 
the device will be located. Initial IP address configuration 
is performed using the CLI with a direct serial connection. 
Subsequent IP address configuration can be performed 
using the Web management interface. 

8

Once you power on the device and assign IP addresses, 
the system is ready to accept network equipment.

9

Test IP connectivity to other devices by pinging them and 
tracing routes.

10

Continue configuring the device using the CLI or the Web 
management interface. 

11

Secure access to the device.
