Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration 7
3. Attach a 10BaseT, 100BaseT or 1000BaseT LAN interface cable to the LAN PORT connector
on the back of the CCM appliance. A CAT 5 cable is required for 100BaseT operation. A CAT
6 cable is required for 1000BaseT operation.
4. Insert the power cord into the back of the unit. Insert the other end of the power cord into a
grounded electrical receptacle. Toggle the power switch on the back of the unit to the
on position ( | ).
5. Check that the POWER LED on the front of the unit is illuminated. If not, check the power
cable to ensure that it is inserted snugly into the back of the unit. The ONLINE LED will illu-
minate within two to three minutes to indicate that the self-test is complete. If the ONLINE
LED blinks, contact Equinox Technical Support for assistance.
6. Check that the LAN port LEDs indicate that a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps link exists. If not, check
the Ethernet cable to ensure that both ends are correctly inserted into their jacks. If the unit is
connected to a 100 MB Ethernet hub, the 100MBps LED will also be illuminated.
7. Once the POWER and ONLINE LEDs and a valid LAN LED link sequence are illuminated,
proceed with the configuration process (if you will be using BootP, remove power from the
CCM appliance).
Configuring the CCM Appliance
To configure the CCM appliance, you must specify a unique IP address, plus other network address
information. This information will be stored in the CCM configuration database. During initial
login, you will specify a password for the Admin user.
Configuring the network address settings
You may configure the CCM appliance network address settings using AVWorks software, BootP
or the serial CLI on the console port.
To configure the network address settings using AVWorks software:
Using the AVWorks New Appliance Wizard is the easiest method to configure the CCM appliance
network address settings. See the AVWorks Installer/User Guide for instructions. After the
network address settings are configured, see Initial CCM appliance login on page 9.
To configure the network address settings using BootP:
1. Ensure that there is a BootP server on your network that is configured to correctly respond to a
BootP request from the CCM appliance. BootP servers require the Ethernet MAC address of
network devices. The Ethernet MAC address is located on the back of the unit. See your BootP
server’s system administrator guide for information about configuring the BootP server.
2. After you have configured your network’s BootP server with the CCM appliance Ethernet
MAC address, IP address, subnet mask and gateway, restore power to the CCM appliance and
wait for the ONLINE LED to illuminate. Once this occurs, the CCM appliance has completed
the BootP protocol, obtained its network address information and stored these in FLASH.
