3. Attach a LAN interface cable to the LAN connector on the CCM appliance. A CAT 5 cable is
required for 100BaseT operation. For CCM4850 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 CCM4850 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
You may configure the CCM appliance network address settings using AVWorks software, BootP
or the serial CLI on the console port.
To configure the network address settings using AVWorks software:
Using the AVWorks New Appliance Wizard is the easiest method to configure the CCM appliance
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.
To configure the network address settings using BootP:
1. Ensure that there is a BootP server on your network that is configured to correctly respond to a
BootP request from the CCM appliance. BootP servers require the Ethernet MAC address of
network devices. The Ethernet MAC address is printed on a label affixed to the appliance. See your
BootP server’s system administrator guide for information about configuring the BootP server.
2. After you have configured your network’s BootP server with the CCM appliance Ethernet
MAC address, IP address, subnet mask and gateway, restore power to the CCM appliance and
wait for the ONLINE LED to illuminate. Once this occurs, the CCM appliance has completed
the BootP protocol, obtained its network address information and stored these in FLASH.
