![]() | Note: In this procedure we assume that the device is already connected to a power source. If using a DC power supply, see Cabling the CTP Platform for DC Power. |
For specifications on the electrical requirements for the device, see one of the following topics:

To power on the device:
The device goes through a boot process. When a prompt appears on the system console, the device is ready to be configured. If the system is new, the device boots to a first boot script. If the system is already operational, it boots to a login prompt.
The series of login prompts requires the following settings:
The device goes into startup mode.
For example:
... *********** Setting up the root password ************ Changing root's password! Changing password for user root. New password: Retype new password: BAD PASSWORD: it is too short passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. ************** Setting up the network *************** Configure supported protocols: 0) IPv4 Only 1) IPv6 Only 2) IPv4 and IPv6 Please select your option (rtn for 0): There are 4 ethernet devices available for use. The default device is the device through which the default gateway can be accessed. Ctp circuits can run over any ethernet device, default or not. A default device must be configured, other devices may be configured and enabled, or disabled. Here is a list ot the available devices and their descriptions: eth0: 10/100/1000 Copper (front) eth1: 10/100/1000 Copper (back) eth2: 1000 Fiber (left) eth3: 1000 Fiber (right) What device would you like to make the IPV4 default device? (rtn for eth0): eth1 OK, eth1 (10/100/1000 Copper (back)) will be configured as IPV4 default device. Please input the hostname (return for (none)): nova_54 ===== Configuration for eth1 (default device): Please input the ip (return for 127.0.0.1): 172.25.61.54 Please input the netmask (return for 255.255.255.0): 255.255.255.128 Please input the gateway (return for 127.0.0.1): 172.25.61.1 Please input the mtu in bytes (return for 1500): Add route to interface eth1 [n] ====================================== === OS Security level set to LOW === ====================================== ************** Setting up date/time ***************** Setting the date (GMT). Please input the year [2008-2020] (return for 2010): Setting the date (GMT). Please input the month [1-12] (return for 01): Setting the date (GMT). Please input the day [1-31] (return for 11): Setting the date (GMT). Please input the hour [0-23] (return for 20): Setting the date (GMT). Please input the minute [0-59] (return for 22): INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 Entering non-interactive startup ...
During initial power-on, the components of the platform run boot code, go through a series of self-diagnostic tests, and synchronize with each other.
When the tests are complete, use the LEDs on each module to determine the status of the device. Observe the module LEDs on the front or rear components.
