Juniper Networks IDP SERIES IDP250 - Manual (Page 41)

Getting Started with the EasyConfig Wizard (Serial Console Port)
We recommend you get started by running the EasyConfig wizard to assign an IP address
to the management interface. Then, you can access the ACM Wizard from a remote
location to complete the appliance configuration.
To perform the initial configuration with the EasyConfig wizard:
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 null modem serial cable to the serial console
port located on the front of the appliance chassis.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port of your laptop.
3. Open a terminal emulation package such as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal or
XModem. The settings for the software should be as follows:
• 9600 bps
• 8 data bits
• No parity generation or checking
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control
• The serial port number where you connected the cable
4. Turn on the appliance.
If nothing appears in the terminal window, press Enter to display the boot messages.
5. Log into the appliance as root with the default password (abc123).
NOTE: After you have completed the initial configuration, we highly
recommend that you use ACM to change the default password.
The EasyConfig script runs automatically. The following text appears:
