Connecting a PC to the Gateway Appliance

To complete the initial ICPAM configuration, connect an Ethernet cable from a PC to the ICPAM appliance Eth0 port. Use a Web browser to enter the required settings.

Step 1     Connect an Ethernet cable from your PC to the Eth0 port on the ICPAM appliance (the Eth1 port is disabled by default). See Cisco Physical Security Multi Services Platform User Guide or Cisco Physical Access 1125 Appliance User Guide for the location of the appliance ports.

Note       After configuration is complete, disconnect your the Eth0 cable from the PC, connect the appliance to the IP network.

Step 2    Power on the appliance. See Cisco Physical Security Multi Services Platform User Guide or Cisco Physical Access 1125 Appliance User Guide for the location of the power button.

Step 3     Open a Web browser on your PC and enter the URL: https://192.168.1.2.

Note       Be sure to include the s in https://. This connects your browser to the secure URL.

Step 4     Enter the default username and password:

default username: cpamadmin

default password: cpamadmin
