Chapter 2 Installing and Powering Up the VPN Concentrator

Powering Up

Power up the devices in this sequence:

Step 1 Power up the console / PC.

Step 2 Start a terminal emulator (e.g., HyperTerminal) on the console/PC. Configure a connection to COM1,

with port settings of:

• 9600 bits per second

• 8 data bits

• No parity

• 1 stop bit

• Hardware flow control.

Set the emulator for VT100 emulation, or let it auto-detect the emulation type.

Step 3 Power up the VPN Concentrator by pressing ON ( I ) on the power switch on the back. If you have a

redundant system, power up both power modules.

The LED(s) on the front panel will blink and change color as the system executes diagnostics. Watch for

these LEDs (if present) on the VPN Concentrator front panel to stabilize and display:

• System = green (This is the only front-panel LED on the Model 3005.)

• Ethernet Link Status 1 2 3 = green for the Ethernet interfaces to which you connected patch cables

• Expansion Modules 1 2 3 4

–

Insertion Status = green for the number of SEP-E modules in your device

Run Status = green for the number of SEP-E modules in your device

–

Fan Status = green

• Power Supplies A B = green for the number of power supplies in your device

Ignore any other LEDs on the front panel.

Step 4 Watch for the following LEDs on the back of the device to display:

• Private / Public / External Interfaces

Link = green for the interfaces connected to networks

• SEP-E Modules (if installed): Power = green

If LEDs that should be green are amber, red, or off, please see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting and

System Errors.” Ignore any other LEDs on the back.
