Access the NFX350 Device

  1. Ensure that the NFX350 device is powered on.
  2. Connect to the console port:
    1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the console port on your NFX350 device.
    2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45—to—DB-9 serial port adapter (not provided).
      Note:

      We no longer include the console cable as part of the device package. If the console cable and adapter are not included in your device package, or if you need a different type of adapter, you can order the following separately:

      • RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)

      • RJ-45 to USB-A adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBA)

      • RJ-45 to USB-C adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBC)

      If you want to use an RJ-45 to USB-A or RJ-45 to USB-C adapter, you must have the X64 (64-Bit) Virtual COM port (VCP) driver installed on your PC. See https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ to download the driver.
    3. Connect the RJ-45—to—DB-9 serial port adapter to the serial port on the management device. Use the following values to configure the serial port:

      Baud rate—9600; Parity—N; Data bits—8; Stop bits—1; Flow control—None.

    Note:

    Alternately, you can use the USB cable to connect to the mini-USB console port on the device. To use the mini-USB console port, you must download the USB driver from the following page and install it on the management device:

  4. Log in as root. If the software completes booting before you connect to the console, you might need to press the Enter key for the prompt to appear:
  5. Start the CLI:
  6. Enter configuration mode:
  7. Change the password for the root administration user account:
  8. Enable SSH service for the root user:
  9. (Optional) Enable WAN connection for devices connected on LAN:
