Performing the Initial Configuration

The first time you turn on power to a Nokia IP150 appliance, 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 Nokia Horizon Manager
Using Check Point SmartCenter and Provider-1
Note
Nokia recommends that you physically install all hardware components before you perform
the initial configuration procedure this chapter describes. For information about how to install
other components, see

configuration, the console connection is no longer required.
You can use any standard VT100-compatible terminal with an RS-232 data terminal equipment
(DTE) interface or terminal-emulation program configured with the following settings for the
