| Connect a standard or serial console to
the router and power it up. |
| ImageStream
does not recommend the use of Windows' HyperTerminal as a serial console program.
HyperTerminal has many known bugs and may cause problems with embedded devices.
A free, functional terminal emulator, Tera Term, is available for Windows. A link
to Tera Term is included in our Other On-line
Resources If you plan to use HyperTerminal, please be sure to use the latest
version linked on our Other On-line
Resources page. See the installation guide or see the section "Connecting
and Starting Up Your Router" below. - Use the information
in Step 3 above to set up the Ethernet connection.
- Use the information
in Step 3 above to configure the default gateway and serial connection.
- Use
the information in Step 3 above to configure your DNS server (required before
downloading software updates).
- See the Technical Notes
section for information on building a null modem cable or connecting and external
modem to your ImageStream router.
|
5. | Verify
your network connections. |
| Select
Option 3 (Advanced) from the Main Menu, then select Option 1 (Bash shell) from
the Advanced Menu. Use the "ping" command to verify connectivity between your
ImageStream router and the default gateway router. If
you receive no response, recheck the configuration from Step 3 above and verify
the following: - The host or router is running and is connected
to the Ethernet network.
- All cables are connected properly to the ImageStream
router.
|
6. | Verify
that the router has the latest version of the Enterprise Linux software. |
| On
Telogic main page shows the latest General Availability and Open Beta releases
available for your ImageStream router. Choose Option 1 (Configuration and Update
Menu) from the Main Menu, then select Option 5 (Download the latest packages).
The top of the menu should list the installed version (Current: router Ver. X.X.X).
If an upgrade is unnecessary, proceed to Step 8. Choose Option 5 (Quit) to leave
this menu unless you wish to install an upgrade. |
| |
7. | Upgrade
to the latest version of Enterprise Linux. |
| - Review
the latest General Availability and Open Beta versions available. The most recent
releases are listed on the right side of the homepage. The Update Menu will list
all of the available distributions. See the homepage for specific information
about available releases.
- Select the desired distribution version from
the menu.
- Allow the router to complete the upgrade.
- Reboot the
router and allow it to load the new Enterprise Linux version.
If
the upgrade fails, or appears to fail, do not reboot. Call Telogic technical support
immediately. |
| |
8. | Configure
the ImageStream router. |
| Use
the worksheet above. Consult the following manuals as necessary:
- WAN Card Command Reference - Router
Installation Manual |
| |
9.
| Verify your configuration. |
|
- Save your configuration.
- Reboot the router.
- Log in as
root.
- Choose Options 2 (Show interface statistics) from the Main Menu
to verify your configuration.
|
10. | Back
up your router configuration. |
| - Back
up your configuration. Select Option 4 (Backup/Restore) from the Main Menu, then
choose Option 1 (Backup Methods). Select the type of backup you wish to perform.
If you choose to backup your router's configurations to a floppy, you will need
to insert a floppy disk into the floppy drive of your router. The floppy does
not need to be formatted. Ensure that the write-protect tab on the floppy is not
open and that the floppy is writeable. Not all ImageStream routers are configured
with floppy drives. This option will fail if you do not have a floppy drive installed
in your router.
- Store a copy of the configuration in a secure
location.
