PM 3 Quickstart Jake Messinger (jake@portmasters.com) Last update: 12/13/00 Visit: http://portmasters.com ================================================================ ALL manuals can be found online at www.portmasters.com. If you purchased your portmaster from PORTMASTERS.COM, it comes preconfigured with the IP address: 10.0.0.201. You can use PMVISION found at ftp.portmasters.com/pub/le/software/java to configure the portmaster if the ip address is known. If it is not known, follow thes instructions: 1. Using a terminal or a PC with Hyperterm. Set it to 9600-N-8-1. 2. Connect a null-modem cable to the terminal or PC. You can make one with the following minimum pin configuration: DB25-F DB25-F 2 - 3 3 - 2 7 - 7 8 - 20 20 - 8 3. Connect it to port C0. Make sure that DIP SWITCH 1 is up putting the port in CONSOLE mode (9600 bps n-8-1, xon/xoff flow control). Dip switch 2 needs to be down. If up, it will try to NETBOOT.. 4. Turn on the power, and after a post test you will see a "login:" prompt. 5. Login as "!root". Press ENTER for password. If there is a password and you don't know it, type "override" for the password. It will give you a 16 bit challenge string. Email this to override@portmasters.com. You will be emailed back a 16 digit override password. 6. Type the following commands after you've logged in: set password set address set netmask save all reset nic 7. Connect an ethernet cable from your network to the unit. Dip switch 5 and 6 up indicated Twisted Pair, both down for COAX. The unit should be pingable and telnettable now. 8. Use PMVISION from ftp.portmasters.com for advanced configuration. ============================================================================
