Step One - Physical Installation

1. With the appliance powered OFF install a crossover cable (red) between Exinda’s WAN port and the Router/Firewall.
2. Install a straight-through cable (blue) between Exinda’s LAN port and the LAN switch.
3. Ensure that there is still connectivity through the appliance. This will ensure that the Ethernet bypass is working.
4. Install a straight-through cable (blue) between Exinda’s management port (Gb1) and the LAN switch.
5. Plug in the power cords.
6. Switch on the appliance and ensure that the NIC lights flash and traffic is passing through.
   
   

Step Two - Jump Start from Web User Interface

1. The Exinda appliance by default will pick up an IP Address from DHCP. The IP Address is available on the management interface.
   • Note: If a DHCP address is not picked up, the Exinda will default to the IP Address 172.14.1.57. Open a web browser and connect to the Web User Interface by typing https://172.14.1.57 in the address field. You must configure the IP Address of your PC to the same subnet as the Exinda appliance – e.g., set your IP Address to 172.14.1.58, netmask 255.255.255.0
2. Click on the Exinda appliance that has been found.
3. Select Basic Mode and log in with username=admin and password=exinda
4. Click on Wizard and Start the Configuration Wizard.
5. Complete all the steps. You are done.
   
   

Or from Serial Console / Command Line Interface

   • Bits per second=9600
   • Bits=8
   • Parity=None
   • Stop bits=1
   • Flow Control=Hardware
2. Login with username=admin and password=exinda.
3. When prompted to run the jumpstart answer yes. If not prompted, execute the following commands to start the jumpstart:

   enable, # configure terminal, # configuration jump-start

4. Complete all the steps. Save, and you are done.
