1. Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable connected to the network for use with the unit.
2. Physically mount the unit in an ergonomically sound manner.
3. Connect the LAN cable to the primary LAN connection on the back of the chassis. Connect and/or
verify that the other end of the cable is connected to the proper network. If the unit has a failover
module, connect the secondary network LAN connection as well.
4. Connect the female end of the external power cord to the back of the chassis.
5. Serial Connection to Target Devices: This manual contains detailed information on connecting the
Dominion SX unit to the console port of target devices.
6. Modem Connection (optional): Connect a phone line to the modem port. Remember to write down
the phone number for this line, as it will be necessary later when the user configures a client for dialup
networking.
7. Connect the male end of the external power cord to the power supply outlet and power ON the
Dominion SX unit.
Note: The unit will perform a hardware and firmware self-test and then start the software boot sequence.
The boot sequence takes a short time and is complete when the light illuminates and remains on.
8. Perform a quick connectivity check by connecting to the device using either IE or Netscape. In the
address line, enter https://<IPAddress> where IPAddress is the IP address of the unit as previously
configured. The login display should appear verifying that the unit has been properly configured and
can be accessed from the network.
9. Enter the Configuration window and enter the various configuration parameters for each console port.
Enter specific operational parameters for the unit (please see Chapter 4: Console Features for
additional information).
