3Com NJ240FX manual Installing Configuration Managers

INSTALLING THE

2 CONFIGURATION MANAGERS

Once you have installed the NJ240FX hardware, you need to configure it for use on your particular network. To configure the NJ240FX, install the Local and Central Configuration managers.

NOTE: You will use the Local Configuration Manager for initial configuration of the NJ240FX on your network. It’s usually easiest if you load this software on a laptop and use it to configure IntelliJacks as you install them.

The NJ240FX Central Configuration Manager is used for advanced configuration and management of one or more NJ240FXs on your network. This software should be installed on the machine you plan to use to manage your NJ240FXs from a remote location—perhaps the same console you use for SNMP management.

System Requirements The machine you install the software on should meet the following requirements:

•Pentium processor

•Minimum of 15MB disk space

•Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro (required for IPv6 support), or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6 installed (While Windows 95 and Windows 98 are not recommended operating systems for use with management platforms, the Configuration Manager software may work with them.)

NOTE: The NJ240FX is designed with a dual mode IP stack. The unit can accept and respond to commands over IPv4 or IPv6. The mode of operation of the Central Configuration Manager will determine whether specific IPv4 or IPv6 parameters are displayed and can be configured by the CCM.
