3 Performing the Initial Configuration
46 IP560 Security Platform Installation Guide
Note
Nokia recommends that you physically install all NICs and other hardware
components before you perform the initial configuration procedure this
chapter describes. For information about how to install NICs, see Chapter
4, “Installing and Replacing Network Interface Cards.” For information
about how to install other components, see Chapter 8, “Replacing Other
Components.”
Using a Console Connection
If you do not use DHCP to perform the initial configuration of your Nokia
IP560 security platform, you must use a serial console connection (cable
included). After you perform the initial configuration, you no longer need the
console connection.
You can use any standard VT100-compatible terminal with an RS-232 data
terminal equipment (DTE) interface or terminal-emulation program
configured with the following settings for the console:
9600 bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
To connect to the console
1. Connect the supplied null-modem cable (console cable) to the console
port on the front panel of the IP560.
Use only the RJ-45 port labeled Console on the front panel; the serial
(AUX) port is an auxiliary modem port.
One RJ-45 termination has a retractable shroud that releases or secures
the RJ-45 tab. Use this end of the cable when connecting to the console
