Connections Required for NBA Software Installation

Before you install the NBA distribution package:

• Your Bivio appliance must be connected to a network using the Ethernet management port.
• The network must provide access to the computer containing the required NBA distribution package.

If the current NBA management port network address configuration does not permit this connection, reconfigure it:

1. Connect the computer and NBA via an Ethernet switch or hub.
2. Configure your computer IP address and netmask to appropriate settings compatible with the NBA management port settings.
3. Use your web browser to connect to the NBA management port address.
   1. On Bivio 2000 appliances, log in as 'admin' and use the Administration screen.

      On Bivio 7000 appliances, log in as 'webadmin' and use the Interfaces screen.

   2. Change the IP address and netmask of the management port.

You perform the remaining instructions in this guide using the same serial connection as used to configure the OS.

Alternatively, you can make a network connection with a PC terminal emulator connected to the NBA management port using an SSH connection. If you do not have a suitable application (capable of connecting using the SSH protocol) already installed on your computer , we recommend the PuTTY application. This is available free of charge from:
