CONFIGURING SYSTEM OPTIONS AND INFORMATION

To configure System Options and Information, press 2 at the Security Menu. By default, all system options are enabled by default, which is acceptable for this network.

Press “2” at the System Options and Information Menu. This is where we will configure the system information for SITE1. Enter SITE1 as the system name, and df8sfds33 as the system secret:

System Information Menu:

 

 

1)

System Name

is "SITE1"

2)

System

Password

is

""

3)

System

Secret

is

"df8sds33"

Select function from above or <RET> for previous menu?

Return to the Main Menu, and save your configuration changes. Reboot SITE1 to activate your changes.

CONFIGURE SITE2

The initial configurations of SITE1 and SITE2 are similar. For the initial configuration of SITE2, duplicate the steps found in the section titled, Configure SITE1 (page 65).

CONFIGURING SITE2 OPTIONS

For this example, we only need IP routing enabled. Unlike the SITE1, we do not need to enable IP routing for the SITE2. IP routing is enabled as a default for SITE2. We do need to configure IP interface information.

CONFIGURING THE IP INTERFACE INFORMATION

To configure the IP interface information for SITE2, use the same instructions provided for SITE1 (page 66), with the following exceptions:

IP Interfaces for SITE2:

Configure the LAN Network Interface The IP address is 128.3.3.1.

ADDING DEVICE SITE1

Follow the instructions used for configuring device SITE1 (page 68) with the following exceptions:

Device Name: SITE1

Dial-Out Phone Number: 918105551234

CHAP Secret: df8sfds33
