Chapter 3. Connecting and configuring the SiteProtector
SP3001 appliance
The first step is to connect the SiteProtector SP3001 appliance hardware to the network so that you can
begin managing the SiteProtector SP3001 appliance. This chapter provides procedures for configuring the
SiteProtector SP3001 appliance to communicate with the network and for starting the SiteProtector
Console.
Attention:
IBM Security does not support customized configurations on the appliance. Therefore, do not
install, reinstall, or remove applications on the appliance.
Adding your IBM Security SiteProtector appliance into a domain can cause unintended consequences
depending on domain group policies.
Example:
v
Hardened security policies can render the appliance unusable.
v
Group policies forcing Windows Automatic Updates can place the appliance in an unsupported state.
To return the appliance to a supported state, you must restore the appliance to its factory image or
default settings, which erases all data, including events, from the database. For more information, see
“Restoring factory defaults” on page 25.
Note:
In prior SiteProtector appliance models (SP1001 and SP2001), management of the appliance was
handled using the Console to configure various appliance settings. Beginning with the SP3001 model,
many of the SiteProtector SP3001 appliance settings are managed with standard operating system tools
that you can access using a Remote Desktop session on the appliance.
Note:
You can use the
IBM Security SiteProtector System SP3001 Quick Start Guide
instead of the
procedures in this chapter if you are an experienced network administrator, and you anticipate that your
configuration will be straightforward. The
IBM Security SiteProtector System SP3001 Quick Start Guide
provides minimal guidance.
