Initial Configuration
2.
Connect the antennas (
only models with wireless support
) and the
cables to the appliance (see
Connecting Antennas and Cables
(page 11)). The appliance automatically imports the configuration
from the USB stick and then tries to make the initial contact to the
Management Server.
•
If the connection is successful, the appliance automatically
reboots itself and the engine configuration is finished.
If you configure the engine with a USB stick, you must set a password
for the
root
account in the Management Client to enable command line
access to the engine. If you want to allow remote access to the engine
using SSH, enable the SSH daemon for the engine in the Management
Client. See the
Online Help
for more information.
Proceed to
After Successful Management Server Contact
(page 23).
If the Automatic Configuration Fails
• If the automatic configuration fails, you can check for the reason in
the log (
sg_autoconfig.log
) written on the USB stick.
• If you see a “connection refused” error message, ensure that the
Management Server IP address is reachable from the engine and
check the IP addresses you have defined in the Management Client.
• If the configuration with the USB stick still does not succeed, remove
the USB stick from the USB port, and follow the instructions for the
manual configuration. See
Using the Engine Configuration Wizard
below.
Using the Engine Configuration Wizard
You can use the Engine Configuration Wizard with all Management
Center and Firewall versions. If you have saved the initial configuration
on a USB stick, you can import it in the Configuration Wizard to reduce
typing.
To start the Configuration Wizard
1.
Connect appliance to a computer using the serial cable supplied
with the appliance.
2.
On the computer, open a terminal with the following settings:
9600 bps, 8 databits, 1 stopbit, no parity.
3.
Connect the cables to the appliance as instructed in
Connecting
Antennas and Cables
(page 11). The engine bootup process is
