Performing Basic Equalizer Configuration
Use the Equalizer Configuration Utility (eqadmin) to specify the following:
• Network Interfaces: Equalizer’s external and internal network interfaces and the netmasks
associated with these networks.
• Hostname/IP Address: The DNS hostname or IP address that is assigned to Equalizer for an
interface.
• Default Gateway: The IP address of the router or other ntwork device that Equalizer will use
to forward packets to the Internet or Intranet.
• DNS Server: The Domain Name Server Equalizer will use.
• Current date, time, and time zone.
• Passwords for the Equalizer console and administration interface. The default values are
included with the documentation that comes with Equalizer.
You must at least configure one of the network interfaces with an IP address in order to access the
Equalizer browser based Administration Interface.
Starting to Configure Equalizer
As Equalizer boots, the terminal displays a series of device probe and startup messages. Normally,
you can ignore these diagnostic messages. However, if you do not configure the terminal emulation
software to ignore hang-ups, the terminal session might exit twice during the boot process. If this
happens, restart the terminal session.
To begin configuration, follow these steps:
1. When the boot process is complete, press Enter on the terminal keyboard to display the login
prompt.
2. When the login prompt appears, type eqadmin and press Enter.
3. When the password prompt appears, enter the eqadmin password and press Enter. Equalizer
automatically launches the Equalizer Configuration Utility, which provides a character-based
interface for setting and changing Equalizer configuration parameters.
4. If the terminal display is not readable or not formatted properly, press Esc and make sure that
your terminal emulator is set for VT100 emulation. Start over at Step 2.
5. To select a menu item within the configuration utility, press one or more arrow keys until you
highlight the desired item. If the arrow keys do not operate within your terminal emulator, you
