PSA300 Hardware Guide
Do this:
Get the console cable.
1.
Connect one end of the cable to the console port labeled CONSOLE on the PSA300.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to the console port on a laptop.
3.
Configure Basic Settings
When you boot an unconfigured PSA300, you need to enter basic network and machine information through
the console to make it accessible to the network. Based on your selection of personality, a different binary
will boot up in the system. After entering these settings, you can continue configuring the PSA300 through
the administrator Web console.
During this basic setup process, you define the "personality" of the PSA300. For example, you can set up the
PSA300 to act as a Pulse Connect Secure or Pulse Policy Secure device. You can switch personalities at any
time by reconfiguring the PSA300.
The installation process may take up to 20 minutes.
Do this to perform basic setup:
1.
Configure a console terminal or terminal emulation utility running on a computer, such as HyperTerminal
or PuTTY, to use these serial connection parameters. These defaults are usually set already, but check them
if there are connection problems:
•
9600 bits per second
•
8-bit no parity (8N1)
•
1 stop bit
•
No flow control
2.
Connect the laptop to the serial cable plugged in to the PSA300 console port and press Enter until you
are prompted by the initialization script.
3.
Enter the number corresponding to the personality for which you want to configure the PSA300.
