The other option is to set up the server behind your Internet access router/firewall using Ethernet 0 only. In this scenario, Ethernet 1 is not used and should not be plugged in to anything. You will also have to set up your firewall to allow IPSec traffic through (see the section on setting up an IP Gateway for Ethernet 0 in Chapter 6 for more information).

The 10/100 Ethernet interfaces directly support full or half duplex 100BaseTx or 10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet. To connect one of the server’s Ethernet interfaces to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, you will need an unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is connected to a 10BaseT-compatible twisted-pair hub (for a transmit speed of 10 Mbps) or a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hub (for a transmit speed of 100 Mbps).

ϖNote: Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the IntraPort 2/2+. Category 5 cabling is required for 100 BaseT opera- tion. Please contact your reseller or your Compatible Systems sales representative for information on obtaining the correct Ethernet cabling supplies.

If your twisted-pair hub is already in place, you can connect the server to an active network without interrupting network activity. The server must be powered off.

Simply plug an unshielded twisted-pair cable (that is already connected to your 10BaseT-compatible or 100BaseTx-compatible twisted-pair hub) into the RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the back of the unit.

Connecting a Management Console

If you wish to connect an out-of-band management console, use the supplied cable and connect to the Console interface on the back of the IntraPort 2/2+. You can use a dumb terminal or a computer equipped with VT100 terminal emulation.

The default settings for the Console interface are VT100 terminal emula- tion, 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no Flow Control.

Powering Up the Server

Power up the server. At power-up, the server will take approximately one minute to become visible to CompatiView.

ϖNote: If you want to use Telnet as a management tool, you must first configure an IP address into the server with either an out-of-band console, CompatiView or a reconfigured IP host or workstation on the same Ethernet segment as the server. See Chapter 5 - Command Line Management.
