3 Initial Setup

Overview

The following steps are required for initial setup of the ETEP:

1Log in through a serial link.

2Configure the management port.

3Set the date and time.

4Enter the throughput license.

Logging In Through a Serial Link

Initial setup is performed through a serial link to the RS-232 port. The initial setup commands are available to the Admin and Ops users. The procedures and examples in this chapter assume that the Admin user is performing the setup tasks.

To log in to the CLI via a serial link:

1Connect the RS-232 serial port directly to a PC or workstation, as described in Chapter 2.

2Open a terminal session through a VT-100 terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal. Enter the connection name, the appropriate serial port (usually COM1 or COM2), and the following serial port parameters:

Baud Speed

38,400

Parity

None

Data Bits

8

Stop Bits

1

Flow Control

None

3In the terminal session window, press ENTER. The login prompt displays.

Linux 2.6.16.17 on mips pep login:

4At the login prompt, type the default user name admin and press ENTER. User names and passwords are case-sensitive.

5At the password prompt, type the default password admin and press ENTER.
