Initial configuration

Initial configuration

Step one: Connect to the console port

1Ensure power is connected to the IP GW and the Status LED is green.

2Connect the console port of the IP GW to the serial port of your PC using the blue RJ45 to DB9 cable supplied.

3Use a serial terminal program, such as SecureCRT or HyperTerminal, to connect to the IP GW. Set your terminal software to the following settings:

Baud rate:

38400

Data bits:

8

Parity:

none

Stop bits:

1

Flow control:

none

4 Press Enter. The following command prompt appears on the terminal: IPGW:>

Step two: Configure Ethernet Port A

The default setting for the IP GW Ethernet ports is auto-sensing mode. If the switch ports to which you connect the IP GW are not also set to auto-sensing mode, then you need to configure the IP GW Ethernet ports to use the same speed and duplex mode.

Both ends of the Ethernet connection must be configured in the same

iway. For example, either configure both ends of the link to be auto- sensing or configure both ends to operate at the same speed and duplex.

To establish a 1000Mbps connection, both ends of the link must be

iconfigured as auto-sensing.

To configure Ethernet Port A, enter the following for auto-sensing mode:

ethertype auto

or to configure a speed and duplex, use the following command:

ethertype <10100> <halffull>

For example, to configure a full-duplex 100Mbps link, enter:

ethertype 100 full

To display the current configuration and status of the Ethernet ports, enter:

status
