Netra j 3.0 Installation Guide

Performing the Initial Configuration

You must perform an initial configuration after installing the Netra j 3.0 software, or when primary Netra j 3.0 configuration is required.

To Perform a Complete Initial Configuration

  1. At the Netra j 3.0 Welcome page, click on Administration.

    The Initial Configuration page is displayed.

    Because the Netra j 3.0 server is being configured for the first time, the Initial Configuration page is displayed. During a complete initial configuration, three modules are configured:

    • System Defaults

    • Administration Web Server Password

    • Local Area Network

      Note -

      Of the three modules to be configured for a complete initial configuration, you may need to configure only one or two. The reason is that the Netra j 3.0 software has interrogated your system file state and determined what module configuration is required. If a module's administration page is not displayed during the complete initial configuration, that module does not need to be configured. When this occurs, read ahead until what you see on your screen is described in the text.

    Two optional tasks are offered:

    • Restart Netra server with configuration diskette inserted

    • Restore Netra server configuration

  2. Click the highlighted System Defaults link.

    The System Defaults Administration page is displayed with the default time zone and default system locale.

  3. If necessary, select a new default system time zone and locale from the lists, and then click OK.

    If you selected a non-English locale, the Netra j 3.0 administration interface is now configured for that locale.

  4. Click the forward arrow icon to advance to the next configuration task.

    The Administration Password Administration page is displayed.

  5. Type the password setup into the upper field.

  6. Type the new administration password in the middle and lower fields, and then click OK.

    Note -

    When the Administration Web Server password is changed, the browser connection must be re-authenticated. The next four steps explain how.

  7. Use the forward arrow icon to advance to the next configuration task.

    A browser window opens, indicating that re-authentication is needed.

  8. Click OK.

  9. In the Password window, type setup in the User ID field and type the new password in the Password field.

  10. Click OK.

  11. Click the forward arrow icon to advance to the next configuration task.

    The Add Ethernet TCP/IP Interface Administration page is displayed.

  12. Type the Host Name or the Host Address of the interface into the upper field and the Netmask into the lower field.

    If you do not know the netmask, leave this field as it is.

  13. Click OK.

  14. Click the forward arrow icon to advance to the Main Administration page.

To Configure NCs

Instructions for configuring the NCs and DNS services are described in the Netra j 3.0 Administrator's Guide, Chapter 2, "Network Computer Server." You need the Network Computer Configuration Form, which you filled out previously, to perform these procedures.

  1. From the Main Administration page, under "Documentation" choose Online Documentation.

    The Documentation page is displayed.

  2. Choose a language, and then click on Administrator's Guide.

    The Administrator's Guide is displayed.

Completing the Configuration

At the top of the Main Administration page, there may be a sentence, "There are configuration changes which have not been saved." It may continue with "and which require a system restart." The presence of the sentence indicates that the tasks are necessary. The words "saved" and "restart" are links to the Save and Restore Configuration module and the Restart and Shutdown module respectively.

To Complete the Configuration

  1. From the Main Administration page, use the displayed modules to perform any further system administration tasks, such as setting up mail aliases, configuring a name service, or setting routing options.

    Refer to the Network Computer Configuration Form and any relevant chapters in the Netra j 3.0 Administrator's Guide for additional information on each administration module.

  2. Once server configuration is complete, save the configuration information as follows:

    1. Insert a blank diskette into the diskette drive.

      If there is no diskette drive in the Netra j 3.0 server, the configuration is saved to the file system.

    2. At the top of the Main Administration page, click the link "saved".

      The Save and Restore Configuration page is displayed.

    3. If you are saving the configuration to diskette, click Save configuration to diskette; otherwise, click Save configuration to file system.

    4. Click the OK button to confirm the operation.

    5. Click the home icon to return to the Main Administration page.

  3. If a system restart is necessary, a sentence with the link "restart" is displayed. Follow these steps:

    1. At the top of the Main Administration page, click the link "restart".

      The Restart and Shutdown Administration page is displayed.

    2. Select Restart.

    3. Click OK to proceed with the restart process.

      The server is restarted with the new configuration.
