Configure Basic Settings
When you boot an unconfigured PSA3000, you need to enter basic network and machine information through
the console to make it accessible to the network. Based on your selection of personality, a different binary
will boot up in the system. After entering these settings, you can continue configuring the PSA3000 through
the administrator Web console.
During this basic setup process, you define the
“personality”
of the PSA3000. For example, you can set up
the PSA3000 to act as a Pulse Connect Secure or Pulse Policy Secure device. You can switch personalities at
any time by reconfiguring the PSA3000.
The installation process may take up to 20 minutes.
Do this to perform basic setup:
1.
Enter the number corresponding to the personality for which you want to configure the PSA3000.
For example, if your screen looks like this:
Please select a factory preset personality:
[1] Pulse Connect Secure (VPN)
[2] Pulse Policy Secure (NAC)
Press 1 to install the Pulse Connect Secure package. Press
2
to install the Pulse Policy Secure package.
