Connecting a Management Console
If you wish to connect an out-of-band management console, use the supplied DB-25 male to
DB-25 female cable and connect to the Console interface on the leftmost
slot (slot 0) on the
IntraPort Enterprise-8. You can use a dumb terminal or a computer equipped with VT100
terminal emulation.
v Note: If you connect to the console using a slot other than slot 0, all configuration changes
will be lost when the box is rebooted.
The default settings for the Console interface are VT100 terminal emulation, 9600 bps, 8 bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Control.
v Note: Each RIOP card in the IntraPort Enterprise-8 also has an AUX interface. These are
modem connections which should only be used in consultation with Compatible Systems’
Technical Support staff, who will provide instruction on their use.
v Note: If you want to use Telnet as a management method, you must first configure an IP
address into the server using an out-of-band console, or reconfigure the IP address on an IP
host or workstation on the same Ethernet segment as the server. See Chapter 5 - Command
Line Management for more information.
Powering Up the Server
Figure 12. Detail of Power Units
v Note: The default setting for the voltage switch on the power supplies for the IntraPort
Enterprise-8 is for a low input voltage (marked 115V on the switch). If your electrical system
requires a high input voltage on the power supplies, you must change the settings before
plugging in the server (for instructions, see Changing the Power Supply Voltage Settings).
The IntraPort Enterprise-8 VPN Access Server features dual redundant 400 Watt power
supplies. Operation using both power supplies is recommended, but not required.
1. Make sure the power switches are set to the “Off” position.
2. Connect the supplied power cords to the plug on each power unit on the front of the
IntraPort Enterprise-8.
3. Set each power switch to “On.”
At power-up, the server will take approximately one minute to become visible to CompatiView
(see Chapter 4 - CompatiView Software Installation for more information).
Power Alarm Information
The power unit alarm will sound whenever a unit is unplugged or turned off. To reset the
alarm, simply press the alarm reset switch.
