Chapter 2 Installation All interconnections are made at the back of the ANG-1000 (refer to Figure 4). Although there is no power switch, a reset button is located in the rear of the unit. If you press the reset button after you have configured your ANG-1000, you will lose your entire configuration.
Connecting Cables Connecting an ANG-1000 The ANG-1000 is typically set up in the configuration shown below. Cable / DSL Modem To connect the ANG-1000 Ethernet port, perform the following steps: Do one of the following as shown in Figure 7: –...
After you connect power, the top External LED at the rear of the ANG-1000 will be lit the moment the cable it is connected. If you have a DSL modem, you will need to get an IP address from your provider and configure it before the External LED will light.
Page 20
The front Power LED will light the moment you power up the unit. International customers may swap the electrical cord segment shipped with the ANG-1000 for a cord that meets the proper standard for their country. A custom cord can be inserted in the power supply.
Chapter 2 Installation Checking ANG-1000 Connections The ANG-1000 is now connected and ready for configuration. Check rear and front LEDS in the manner described below to confirm that the connections are working properly. Rear Panel Link LEDs The two top link LEDs on the rear panel light the moment a connection is made to the respective network.
Page 22
Checking ANG-1000 Connections After the ANG-1000 is configured and in use, the Internet, VPN, RX and TX LEDs will light and/or blink. Refer to Figure 12 for behavior of the LEDs. The ANG-1000 is now ready for configuration. Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed instructions.
Configuring the ANG-1000 with Configuring the ANG-1000 with To configure the ANG-1000, use the Internet browser on your computer and connect to the server via the Web. During the Web session, you run the Aurorean Web Config utility and configure the system. Figure 13 illustrates the process.
Page 24
H If your computer was supplied a static IP address and Gateway by your service provider, you must now accept the address from a DHCP server and remove the gateway for the ANG-1000 to find and connect with the PC.
To log into Web Config, perform the steps below. Point your Web browser at the default trusted IP address of the ANG-1000. In the browser’s Location field at the top of the window, type: http://192.168.1.1 or aurorean. (include the dot) and click OK.

Configuring the ANG-1000 with Aurorean Web Config Downloading the Latest Firmware After logging in, download the latest firmware image to the ANG-1000’s flash memory (provided the MAC address is set for cable service users - refer to page 32) by accessing the FTP server where it is stored. As new firmware becomes available, you can update it again.
Page 28
After the firmware image is downloaded, the new image is “flushed” or stored on the ANG-1000. This step takes about 30-45 seconds and the photo below shows the activity lights seen on the ANG-1000 when the device’s flash memory is being upgraded with the new firmware image.
Page 29
Links Reboot the ANG-1000 by clicking Reboot Now. The ANG-1000 will take a few moments to accept the new software. To ensure that the image was updated, compare the date last modified, Release, Build and Patch numbers in the lower left corner of the VPN Status window as shown in Figure 15 with the previous release information.
Setting Up the VPN The VPN configuration created on the ANG-1000 completes a link with the ANG-3000/7000 on the remote end of this connection. If your network administrator has already set up the ANG-3000/7000 with appropriate User, Password and Group information, after setting up the VPN you will build the site-to-site tunnel connection and be up and running on the corporate LAN.

Force default route disables the ANG-1000’s Intelligent Client Routing (ICR) feature which allows users to browse the Internet outside the tunnel. Be aware that with Force Default enabled, the ANG-1000 transmits all traffic through the tunnel which may cause Web browsing problems.
Setting Up the Internet Connection Internet configuration of the External side of the ANG-1000 involves choosing the type of IP address assignment the ANG-1000 will accept. The ANG can accept one of the following: H A DHCP-assigned IP address - your network automatically sets the ANG’s IP address via the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration...

Setting Up the LAN LAN configuration of the Trusted side of the ANG-1000 involves choosing either to manually set an IP address and subnet for the ANG-1000 or dynamically assigning its IP address via your network’s DHCP server. Begin LAN Setup by performing the following steps: Click the LAN Setup menu option.
Page 36
– Click Apply. CAUTION If you change the default LAN Setup and reboot the ANG-1000, you must release and renew the IP address for all adaptors bound to TCP/IP on your connected computer(s) in order to reconnect with the ANG-1000 and make future changes.
Chapter 3 Configuring the ANG-1000 with Aurorean Web Config If you press the reset button after you have configured your ANG-1000, you will lose your entire configuration. Any settings you supplied must then be re-entered. We strongly recommend that you do not use the reset button unless you want the configuration to return to factory defaults.

authentication server (such as a RADIUS or SecurID server). When the network administrator changes tunnel connection parameters, the Aurorean Policy Server provide updated configuration files to Aurorean Network Gateways on request. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers are used to assign IP addresses.
Appendix A Glossary Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) Tunneling protocol developed by Cisco that can encapsulate a wide variety of protocol packet types inside IP tunnels, creating a virtual point-to-point link over the Internet. For PPTP, GRE is used to encapsulate PPP data packets within an IP packet (IP packet headers contain address information necessary for routing, while PPP packets do not).
LEDs Abbreviation of light emitting diode, an electronic device that lights up when electricity is passed through it. LEDs are usually red, but the ANG-1000 uses green LEDs. The LEDs are used to indicators. Mac Address Short for Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node on a network.

In terms of Enterasys Networks products, this person physically installs Aurorean Policy Servers and Aurorean Network Gateways, distributes Aurorean Client Software to remote users, and runs RiverMaster software on his/her computer to manage the entire VPN.
RiverMaster A management application running on a Windows NT 4.0 Workstation computer which communicates with Aurorean Policy Servers and Aurorean Network Gateways. Using RiverMaster, a network administrator creates user databases, sets policies for user groups, views activity logs, and generates usage reports.
