3. Attach a LAN interface cable to the LAN connector on the CCM appliance. A CAT 5 cable is
required for 100BaseT operation. For CCM485x appliances, a CAT 6 cable is required for
1000BaseT operation.
4. Insert the power cord into the back of the CCM appliance. Insert the other end of the power
cord into a grounded electrical receptor.
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 Technical Support for assistance.
6. For CCM850/1650 appliances, check that the LINK LED is illuminated.
For CCM485x appliances, check that the LAN port LEDs indicate that a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps
link exists.
If there is no link, check the Ethernet cable to ensure that both ends are correctly inserted into
their jacks.
7. Once the POWER, ONLINE and appropriate LEDs are illuminated, proceed with the configu-
ration process (if you will be using BootP, remove power from the 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

For a CCM appliance that is Flashed for DS operation, you may configure the CCM appliance
network address settings using the DSView 3 software, BootP or the serial CLI. When the
appliance is Flashed for AV operation, you may configure the network address settings using the
AVWorks software, BootP or the serial CLI on the console port.
To configure the network address settings using DSView 3 software:
When the CCM appliance is Flashed for DS operation, the DSView 3 software New Appliance
Wizard is the easiest method to configure the network address settings. When you add a CCM
appliance that was Flashed for AV operation, you must migrate it to the DSView 3 software system
after it is added. See the DSView Installer/User Guide for instructions. After the network address
settings are configured, see Initial CCM appliance login on page 10 of this manual.
To configure the network address settings using AVWorks software:
When the CCM appliance is Flashed for AV operation, the AVWorks software New Appliance
Wizard is the easiest method to configure the 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 10 of this manual.
