Step 6 Choose licenses to apply to the device.
For classic devices, note that Control, Secure Firewall Threat Defense Malware Defense, and Secure Firewall
Threat Defense URL Filtering licenses require a Protection license.
Step 7 If you used a NAT ID during device setup, expand the Advanced section and enter the same NAT ID in the
Unique NAT ID field.
Step 8 Click Register.
It may take up to two minutes for the management center to verify the device’s heartbeat and establish
communication.
Set Up Alternate Management Center Access
After you have completed the initial setup process, you can establish alternate means of accessing the
management center by doing one of the following:
• You can set up the management center for direct access from a local computer to its serial port. Before
configuring the management center for serial access, redirect console output to the serial port.
• You can set up the management center for Lights-Out Management (LOM) access using a Serial over
LAN (SOL) connection on the CIMC interface. This allows you to perfom a limited number of maintenance
tasks without having physical access to the appliance.
Set Up Serial Access
Before you begin
• Complete the initial setup process appropriate to your version:
• For Versions 6.5 and later see Install the Management Center for Versions 6.5 and Later, on page
6.
• For Versions 6.3 - 6.4 see Install the Management Center for Software Versions 6.3 - 6.4, on page
19.
• Obtain and install terminal emulation software (such as HyperTerminal or XModem) on the local computer
to interact with the management center.
• Redirect console output to the serial port. See Redirect Console Output, on page 44.
