Verify the Required Cnnections

Before you install the NBA distribution package:

• Your Bivio appliance must be connected to a network using the Ethernet management port.
• Your 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, you must reconfigure it.

To reconfigure the NBA management port

1. Connect the computer and Bivio appliance 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. Log in as 'webadmin' and use the Interfaces screen.
   2. Change the IP address and netmask of the management port.

Perform the remaining installation instructions using the same serial connection that you 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:
