3 Wizard pages

Note: You have now completed the configuration process. However, before you disconnect the PC you used for this task, read Backup configuration file (page 29).

Configuration is complete

Now that you have completed the basic configuration process you can proceed to connecting your LAN devices to the BSGX4e LAN ports. See Figure 2 (page 11) and Table 1 (page 9) for reference.

Note: Most network equipment is “plug-n-play” in that they perform a self-configuration when you connect them to the BSGX4e. However, some devices may require manual configuration. Check the literature that accompanies the devices.

You are now ready to use your network equipment with the BSGX4e.

Modifying the configuration

If you need to modify a configuration parameter after you have used the Initial Setup Wizard, you can go back into the wizard and Skip to the page that contains the parameter. After changing the parameter value, click Next to implement the change. Then Skip to the last page and Save the changes.

zIf you have logged out of the Web UI, log back in as described beginning at Step 4 on page 17.

zIf you have closed the wizard but are still logged in to the Web UI:

Click Wizards on the button bar.

Click Initial Setup on the side menu. The Initial Setup Wizard opens.

Backup configuration file

The configuration process you just completed with the Initial Setup Wizard stores the configuration parameters in the BSGX4e’s memory. As with any computer device, there is some possibility of memory corruption. To avoid having to repeat the configuration process if this occurs, you can export a configuration file to your PC. Then, if the BSGX4e loses its configuration, you can import the configuration file for complete recovery. Follow the steps below to perform this task.

Creating a configuration file requires you to go into the Web UI (User Interface), which is that Web page you see behind the Initial Setup Wizard pages.

Saving a backup configuration file

Step 1 Access the Web UI.

If you closed the Initial Setup Wizard but did not log out of the Web UI, you see the home page.If you did log out of the Web UI, repeat the login instructions on page 17.
