summary
This section presents the steps required to configure and install the SLC
ConnectReach system. The more information you can gather about the customer
site before beginning to configure and install the SLC ConnectReach system, the
easier the process will be.
The complexity of a given SLC ConnectReach system installation depends mainly
on one factor; namely, whether or not the site is considered a "private" data
network.
In a private network, addresses are obtained from a common pool of addresses
and are not guaranteed to be unique on the Internet. Therefore, to prevent
confusion over packet destinations, the addresses cannot be visible to the
Internet. Instead, an application proxy intercepts all incoming traffic and manages
the mapping of packets to the appropriate destination on the private network.
Appendix A, "IP Network Addresses" describes private network addresses in
more detail.
The following steps provide a summary of the action required to configure and
install the SLC ConnectReach system:
1. Verify that the site meets the installation and site requirements (listed in
Chapter 5, "Installation").
2. Use the Preinstallation Worksheet to record the site's installation
requirements.
3. Using the Preconfiguration Worksheet, record the site's configuration
requirements.
NOTE:
The procedures in this manual are written with the assumption that the SLC
ConnectReach system will be configured in a staging area before it is
installed at the customer site. If the SLC ConnectReach system is to be
configured after installation, then the SLC ConnectReach system should be
installed next using the procedures in Chapter 5, "Installation", and then
configured using the procedures in Chapter 4, "Configuring the SLC
ConnectReach System."
