40 Installing the HSG
Quick Reference Guide
This manual contains a “Quick Reference Guide” on page 257 which provides
information to help you navigate and use the management interfaces (CLI and Web)
quickly and efficiently. It also contains the product specifications, a listing of the
factory default settings, sample log reports, listings of commands (by menu and
alphabetical), HyperTerminal settings, and some common keyboard shortcuts.
Establishing the Start Up Configuration
The CLI allows you to administer the HSG’s start-up configuration settings.
The start up configuration must be established before connecting the HSG to a
customer’s network. The “start up” configuration settings include:
z Assigning Login User Names and Passwords – You must assign a unique
login user name and password that enables you to administer and manage the
HSG securely.
z Setting the SNMP Parameters (optional) – The SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) parameters must be established before you can use an
SNMP client (for example, HP OpenView) to manage and monitor the HSG
remotely.
z Enabling the Logging Options (recommended) – Servers must be assigned
and set up if you want to create system and AAA (billing) log files, and
retrieve error messages generated by the HSG.
When establishing the start-up configuration for a new installation, you
are connected to the HSG via a direct serial connection (you do not
have remote access capability because the HSG is not yet configured or
connected to a network). Once the installation is complete (see
“Installation Workflow” on page 31) and the system is successfully
configured, you will have the additional options of managing the HSG
remotely from the system’s Web Management Interface, an SNMP client
manager of your choice, or a simple Telnet interface.
User names and passwords are case-sensitive.
