Performing the Initial Configuration

The first time you turn on power to a Nokia IP560 security platform, the initial configuration
process begins. This process enables you to configure the network settings and provides access
to the admin account.
You can perform the initial configuration in two ways:
Configure a DHCP server to provide the initial configuration information the first time the
appliance is started.
Perform the initial configuration manually by using a console connection.
This chapter describes how to perform the initial configuration manually by using a console
connection. It includes the following sections:
Using a Console Connection
Connecting Power and Turning the Power On
Performing the Initial Configuration
Connecting Network Interfaces
Using Nokia Network Voyager
Using the Command-Line Interface
Using Nokia Horizon Manager
For information about how to use the DHCP client for initial configuration, see the Read Me
First document, Using DHCP to Configure Your Appliance, included with the appliance.

Nokia recommends that you physically install all NICs, Accelerated Data Path (ADP)
services modules, and other hardware components before you perform the initial
configuration procedure this chapter describes. For information about how to install NICs,
