Nortel Networks 114200-E manual Using EZ-Install

Starting the ARN

Using EZ-Install

EZ-Install is the default installation option provided by Nortel Networks. This option requires that your network administrator has set up the network so that you can start the EZ-Install procedure. In addition, this option requires that you:

•Install a flash memory card.

For instructions, see “Installing the Flash Memory Card” on page 1-31.

•Connect at least one serial (COM) interface to the network.

For instructions, see “Connecting Communications Cables” on page 1-10.

Note: If your ARN does not have a COM interface, you must configure the ARN using one of the other methods such as netboot or directed netboot over an Ethernet or token ring interface. Or, you may local boot the ARN and run the Quick-Start script. For more information, see “Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot” on page 2-6.

To use EZ-Install:

1.Press the power switch on the ARN back panel to the ON position. The ARN comes on and activates EZ-Install.

Note: If you power on the ARN before the network administrator is ready, restart the ARN by pressing the reset button on the rear panel. See Chapter 3, “Operating the ARN” for more information on resetting the ARN.

2.Ensure that the ARN boots correctly.

When the ARN boots, its LEDs flash in a particular order. For information on checking the ARN front-panel LEDs to ensure that the installation was successful, see “Understanding the ARN LEDs” on page 3-1.
