Establishing Basic Connectivity

To establish basic connectivity:

1.Connect an Ethernet cable from any of the ge-0/0/1or fe-0/0/2to fe-0/0/7ports to the Ethernet port on the management device (workstation or laptop).

2.Connect the power cable to the device and a power source. (We recommend using a surge protector.) Note the following indications:

Power LED (solid green): The device is receiving power.

Status LED (solid green): The device is operating normally.

NOTE: The services gateway functions as a DHCP server and will assign an IP address to the management device.

3.Ensure that the management device acquires an IP address on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork (other than 192.168.1.1) from the device.
