Abstract

To prepare for the initial configuration of the Nokia appliance, one needs a workstation, laptop, or VT100-capable terminal that one can directly connect to the Nokia using a console cable or perhaps indirectly through a standard Ethernet connection. If one is configuring the Nokia appliance using the DHCP method, one will only need a standard Ethernet connection. Nokia supplies a DB-9 serial cable with all its devices. This cable allows for console connections from properly configured clients. If one does not have one of the Nokia cables, one can always use a standard null-modem cable for the serial connection. One can directly connect a crossover cable from the workstation to any Ethernet port on the Nokia device, or can indirectly connect a straight-through cable from the workstation to a hub or switch and from there to the appliance over another straight-through cable. The standard installation procedure is a five-step process. One must power on the appliance and enter the boot manager, initiate the installation process, answer the configuration questions, reboot the appliance, and then continue with the initial configuration steps.
