Using the INAWizard

4

 

 

The INAWizard program provides basic configuration settings for the INA module. The wizard uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to guide you step by step through the configuration process.

The program runs on platforms that use Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 and later. A platform with a 486/DX-or-faster processor with 32 MB of RAM minimum is required. A processor with 48 megabytes RAM is recommended.

The INAWizard performs the initial configuration for new modules, including setting the IP address for the module’s Ethernet port. The wizard can also be used to reconfigure modules that have already been set up.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

“Run the Wizard” on page 4-2

Install the Wizard

Install the INAWizard by running the program inawizard_install.exe. The installation program can be found on the CD-ROM included with this guide. Follow the instructions in the resulting dialog boxes to complete the installation. Lucent recommends using the Java runtime engine that comes with the installation package, rather than any existing copy.

Connect the Workstation to the INA Module

For the wizard to work, an Ethernet connection between the workstation running the wizard and the module must exist. You can usually make the connection through your network, but you can use a free standing workstation and a crossover Ethernet cable instead.

Over a LAN

If the module is being configured for the first time and does not have an Ethernet address configured, the workstation running the INAWizard and the INA module itself must be on the same subnet. The wizard automatically identifies the INA module and sets the Ether0 address.

If the workstation is not on the same subnet, then the initial Ethernet configuration for the module must be set through a console connection and the command line interface. See “Connect a Console (Optional)” on page 3-3and “Set the Ether0 Network Address” on page 5-3.
