Initializing the Gateway
ETH1 Ethernet Port Connection
Configure the laptop’s network setting to use the following Administration IP
address settings [Table 1].
| IP Address | Netmask | Gateway | DNS (if needed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 172.30.30.173 | 255.255.0.0 | 172.30.30.172 | 4.2.2.1 |
Attach the laptop to the Nomadix ETH1 port using an Ethernet cable and check the status as shown below.
EG 3000 AND EG 6000 QUICK START GUIDE
Figure 1 : Ethernet Connection
On the PC/laptop open an SSH (Secure Shell) client connection using PuTTY,
Hyperterm, Procomm (or equivalent) to the EG 3000 or EG 6000 using the
Gateway’s default IP address 172.30.30.172.
With everything connected and powered up, you are now ready to configure the
Gateway’s WAN for a static IP address, DHCP Client or PPPoE client using the
appropriate configuration guidelines that follow in order to obtain the
license key.
Go to Initial (startup) Configuration.
Once the key has been obtained, the web management interface (WMI) can be used
to continue and finish the configuration.
Initial (startup) Configuration
Log in to the Gateway, by opening an SSH to 172.30.30.172 using the default
Login= admin and password= admin. Type y[es] when prompted to configure
settings.
The initial minimal WAN port configuration mode will be displayed as shown in
Figure 3.
Figure 3: Initial minimal WAN port configuration.
Select the desired configuration mode and use the following steps to configure
the WAN port for either Static IP, DHCP client or PPPoE.
Step 1a: Static WAN IP Configuration
Accept static as the default configuration mode and enter the following
mandatory settings shown in Figure 4.
A WAN port summary page will then be displayed as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5: WAN port static IP configuration summary page
If everything is correct in the summary, type b[ack] to return to the previous
menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter the location information.
Otherwise, select an option from the Ethernet port configuration menu to
display or make changes to the WAN port settings. When finished with the
settings, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to
enter the location information.
Step 1b: DHCP Client Configuration
Type d[hcp] for the configuration mode as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Selecting DHCP Client for WAN configuration
A WAN port summary page will then be displayed as shown in the example Figure
7.
Figure 7: WAN port DHCP client configuration summary page
If everything is correct in the summary, type b[ack] to return to the previous
menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter the location information.
Otherwise, select an option from the Ethernet port configuration menu to
display or make changes to the WAN port settings. When finished with the
settings, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to
enter the location information.
Step 1c: PPPoE Dynamic IP Client Configuration
Enter p[ppoe] when prompted. Enter the following mandatory settings for a
PPPoE connection with dynamic PPP IP configuration shown in Figure 8.
A WAN port summary page will then be displayed as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9: WAN port PPPoE client configuration summary page
Step 1d: PPPoE Static IP Client Configuration
Use the same steps for configuring dynamic PPPoE shown in Figure 8 above, but
select static for PPP IP Configuration Mode, and enter your IP address for PPP
Static IP Address. A summary page similar to Figure 9 above will be displayed.
If everything is correct in the summary, type b[ack] to return to the previous
menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter the location information.
Otherwise, select an option from the Ethernet port configuration menu to
display or make changes to the WAN port settings. When finished with the
settings, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to
enter the location information.
Step 2: Entering Your Location Information
You will be required to enter location information to obtain the license key.
Enter the following mandatory location information details shown in Figure
10.
Step 3: Retrieving Your License Key
The system will now prompt you to accept or decline the End User License
Agreement (EULA). You must accept the terms of the EULA before the Edge
Gateway can retrieve its license key. To retrieve the license key, enter y[es]
as shown in Figure 11. The EG retrieves the license key from the Nomadix
license key server, then reboots.
NOTE: The date and time the gateway receives a valid license from our
server for the first time is considered the Software License Subscription
start date.
Step 4: Configuring the System
Log in to the Edge Gateway and use the graphical Web Management Interface
(WMI) to configure the product’s features. You have now established a basic
configuration for the EG that enables internet connectivity.
For additional information about the available EG features, refer to Chapter 2
of the User Guide specific to your EG. For example:
- To establish various billing and authentication methods, see Defining the AAA Services.
- To establish hotel billing, see Assigning a PMS Service.
Step 5: Configuring EG DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server is enabled by default. To configure the DHCP Server, go to DHCP
under the Configuration menu. You can either modify the default DHCP pool, add
additional pools or delete the default DHCP pool and create a new pool. The
total lease pool size recommendation is 75% more than the number of licensed
subscribers. Table 3 shows the factory default DHCP server settings.
| DHCP Parameters | Your Settings | Default Values |
|---|---|---|
| DHCP Services (Disable) | no |
DHCP Relay (Yes / No)
If No, skip to DHCP Server
| | no
DHCP Relay Server IP Address| | blank
DHCP Relay Agent IP Address| | blank
DHCP Server (Yes / No)
Only if the DHCP Relay is disabled
| | yes
DHCP Server IP Address| | 10.0.0.4
DHCP Server Subnet Mask| | 255.255.255.0
DHCP Pool Start IP Address| | 10.0.0.12
DHCP Pool End IP Address| | 10.0.0.72
DHCP Lease Minutes| | 1440
