First-Time Configuration


This chapter describes how to power ON the Cisco AS5300 universal access server and configure it using the prompt-driven setup script (also called the System Configuration dialog). The following sections are included:

Using the Setup Script

Where to Go Next

If you prefer to configure the access server manually, proceed to the next chapter "" to familiarize yourself with the command-line interface (CLI) and then proceed to the following chapter "Basic Configuration" for step-by-step instructions.

Using the Setup Script

The setup script in this section uses the latest release version of Cisco IOS software.


Note   If your system is running Cisco IOS Release 11.2 or 11.3(2)T, see the appendix "Using Setup on Cisco IOS Releases 11.2 or 11.3(2)T" for intructions and screen displays.


Getting Started

Before you power on the access server and begin to use the setup script in the System Configuration dialog, make sure you have already connected the cables to the access server and configured your PC terminal emulation program for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. All configuration will be performed from your PC terminal emulation program window.

The prompts and resulting messages vary depending on your responses. For most configurations, you can press Enter to accept the default entries displayed in square ([]) brackets.


Note   Information that you enter is in this boldface font. Also note that if you make a mistake during the configuration, exit and run the System Configuration dialog again by pressing Ctrl-c, and then type setup at the enable prompt (5300#).


To use the setup script take the following steps:


Step 1 Power ON the access server. The power switch is on the rear panel, at the upper right corner near the power cord, as shown in .

Figure 1-1 Power Switch Location

Messages will begin to appear in your terminal emulation program window.


Caution   
Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop. Any keys pressed during this time will be interpreted as the first command typed when the messages stop, which might cause you to power cycle the access server and start over. It will take a few minutes for the messages to stop.

The messages look similar to the following:


Note   The displayed messages depend on the Cisco IOS software release and feature set you selected. The screen displays in this section are for reference only and might not exactly reflect the messages on your console.

Step 2 When the following message appears, enter yes to continue:

Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes

At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.
Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.

Step 3 When the following message appears, enter No to configure all interfaces. Note that if you enter Yes, your system will not be configured correctly:

Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity
for management of the system, extended setup will ask you
to configure each interface on the system
Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: no

Step 4 When the following message appears, press Enter to see the current interface summary:

First, would you like to see the current interface summary? [yes]:

Any interface listed with OK? value "NO" does not have a valid configuration

Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

Serial3:22             unassigned      YES unset  down                  down
Serial3:23             171.69.90.18    YES unset  down                  down

Step 5 Enter a host name for the access server:

Configuring global parameters:

  Enter host name [Router]: 5300

The enable secret is a password used to protect access to privileged EXEC and 
configuration modes. This password, after entered, becomes encrypted in the 
configuration.

Step 6 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (more secure) and cannot be seen when viewing the configuration:

  Enter enable secret: lab

The enable password is used when you do not specify an enable secret password, 
with some older software versions, and some boot images.

Step 7 Enter an enable password. This password is not encrypted (less secure) and can be seen when viewing the configuration:

  Enter enable password: guessme

The virtual terminal password is used to protect access to the router over a 
network interface.

Step 8 Enter the virtual terminal password, which is used for remote console access:

  Enter virtual terminal password: guessagain

Step 9 Enter yes to the system management prompt if you want the access server to be managed by the system controller. If you enter yes, you need to also enter the shelf ID and the system controller's IP addresss and password. The system controller uses the shelf-id to identify an access server or dial shelf. The shelf ID is a number from 1 to 999 and must be unique in the POP management domain. The system controller password is used to authenticate messages between the system controller and managed shelves.

Configure System Management? [yes/no]: yes
    Shelf-id [0]:
    System Controller IP address: 172.87.98.01
    System Controller password: sctest

Step 10 Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:

Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: yes
  Community string [public]:
Configure LAT? [yes]:
Configure AppleTalk? [no]: yes
  Multizone networks? [no]: yes
Configure DECnet? [no]:
Configure IP? [no]:

  Configure IGRP routing? [yes]:
    Your IGRP autonomous system number [1]: 15

Note   If you answer no to IGRP, you will be prompted to configure RIP.


Configure CLNS? [no]:
Configure IPX? [no]: yes
Configure Vines? [no]:
Configure XNS? [no]:
Configure Apollo? [no]:

Step 11 Configure the asynchronous serial lines for the integrated modems on the modules installed in the access server. (If you want to allow users to dial in through the integrated modems, you must configure the async lines.)

Async lines accept incoming modems calls. If you will have users dialing in via 
modems, configure these lines.

Configure Async lines? [yes]:

Note   We recommend that you do not change the async line speed for modems. However, for V.110 terminal adapters, we recommend that the speed not go above 19200.


  Async line speed [115200]:
Will you be using the modems for inbound dialing? [yes]:

Note   If your asynchronous interfaces will be using the same basic configuration parameters, we recommend that you group them so that they can be configured as a group. Otherwise, you will need to configure each interface separately.


Would you like to put all async interfaces in a group and configure them all at 
one time ? [yes]

Note   Dynamic IP addresses permit dial-in users to choose a static IP address when they dial in. If you do not allow dynamic IP addresses, the access server will provide IP addresses from an IP address pool that you set up later in the next prompt.


Allow dial-in users to choose a static IP address? [no]:
Configure for TCP header compression? [yes]:
Configure for routing updates on async links? [no]:

Note   Make sure the starting and ending addresses of the IP pool are in the same subnet.


Enter the starting address of IP local pool? [X.X.X.X]: 172.20.30.40
Enter the ending address of IP local pool? [X.X.X.X]: 172.20.30.88

You can configure a test user to verify that your dial-up service is working 
properly.
What is the username of the test user? [user]:
What is the password of the test user? [passwd]:

Will you be using the modems for outbound dialing? [no]:
Configure for Async IPX? [yes]: no
Configure for Appletalk Remote Access (ARA)? [no]: yes
  AppleTalk Network for ARAP clients [1]:
  Zone name for ARAP clients [ARA Dialins]:
  Allow ARAP "Guest" logins? [yes/no]: yes

Step 12 Enter the letter corresponding to the ISDN switch type that matches your telco switch type or press Enter to accept the default:

Do you want to configure ISDN switch type? [yes]:
  The following ISDN switch types are available:
   [a] primary-4ess
   [b] primary-5ess
   [c] primary-dms100
   [d] primary-net5
   [e] primary-ntt 
   [f] primary-ts014
  Enter the switch type [b]:

Step 13 Press Enter to allow users to dial in via ISDN or analog modems:

Next, you will be prompted to configure controllers.
These controllers enable users to dial in via ISDN or analog modems.

Do you intend to allow users to dial in? [yes]:

There are 8 controllers on this access server. If you want to use
the full capacity of the access server configure all controllers.

Controller T1 0,1,..etc  in software corresponds to Port 0,1,..etc
on the back of the access server.

PRI configuration can be configured to controllers all at once
based on your PRI controllers selection. Where as CAS configuration
will be configured individually for each controller.

Step 14 Enter the number of controllers you will be using for the PRI configuration or press Enter to configure all controllers:

Enter # of controllers, you will be using for PRI configuration [8]:

Configuring controller parameters:

Step 15 Set the CAS configuration options for the first controller you are configuring. First, press Enter to set robbed-bit signaling on the controller:

Configuring controller T1 2:
  Will you be using CT1 (robbed bit signaling) on this controller? [yes]:

Step 16 Enter your telco framing type:

The following framing types are available: esf | sf
  Enter the framing type [esf]:

Step 17 Enter your telco line code type:

The following linecode types are available: ami | b8zs
  Enter the line code type [b8zs]:

Step 18 Enter the letter corresponding to the signaling type to support modem pooling over the T1 lines or press Enter to accept the default:

The following line signaling types are available:
	    [a] e&m-fgb
    	[b] e&m-fgd
    	[c] e&m-immediate-start
    	[d] fxs-ground-start
    	[e] fxs-loop-start
    	[f] sas-ground-start
    	[g] sas-loop-start
  Enter the line signaling type [a]:

Step 19 Enter the tone signaling type:

The following tone signaling types are available: dtmf | mf
  Enter the tone signal type [dtmf]:

Step 20 Press Enter to configure digital number identification service (DNIS) over T1 lines:

Do you want to provision DNIS address information? [yes]:

Step 21 Repeat Step 15 to Step 20 to configure the remaining controllers.

Step 22 Enter yes to configure the Ethernet 0 interface (this is the Ethernet 10BaseT port) if you plan to use this interface to manage and monitor the access server:

Configuring interface parameters:

Do you want to configure Ethernet0  interface? [no]: yes
  Configure IP on this interface? [no]: yes
    IP address for this interface: 172.21.40.10
    Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0] :

<Additional messages omitted.>

Step 29 When the messages stop displaying on your screen, press Enter to get the following prompt:

5300>
%AT-6-ONLYROUTER: Ethernet0: AppleTalk port enabled; no neighbors found

Note   If you see this message, it means that no other routers were found on the network attached to the port.


Step 30 The 5300> prompt indicates that you are now at the command-line interface (CLI) and you have just completed the basic access server configuration. However, this is not a complete configuration. At this point you have two options:

Run the setup script in the System Configuration dialog again and create another configuration. Enter the following commands to repeat the setup script:

   5300> enable
   Password: <password>
   5300# setup

Modify the existing configuration or configure additional features with the CLI as described in the Dial Solutions Configuration Guide, the Dial Solutions Command Reference Guide the Cisco IOS software configuration guide, and command reference publications.

Where to Go Next

At this point you can proceed to:

The next chapter "" to learn how to use the CLI to configure additional features.
