CHAPTER 3 SUMMARY OF THE CONFIGURATION PROCESS
The Cyclades-TS can be used as a:
• console server,
• terminal server,
• remote access server.
A detailed description of each of these profiles is provided in the next chapter. The Cyclades-TS’s operating
system is embedded Linux. Even if you are a Unix user and find the tools and files familiar, do not configure this
product as you would configure a regular Linux server.
You do not need to be a Unix user to configure the Cyclades-TS. Additional information about the files and tools
needed for configuration is provided in appendix A.
The basic configuration steps are:
A. Connecting the Cyclades-TS to the network and other devices. Consult Chapter 2, What is in the Box, for
questions on which cable should be used for which device.
B. Connect a PC or terminal to the Cyclades-TS via the console port and login.
C. Modify the Linux files
/etc/hostname
/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/network/st_routes
to let the Cyclades-TS know about its local environment
D. Configure the boot parameters using the script bootconf
