3.5 Booting Up
The next task in the installation procedure involves applying power to the CALIENT S320
Photonic Switch and booting the S320 Switch software.
3.5.1 Applying Electrical Power
Apply electrical power to the CALIENT S320 Photonic Switch. The system will begin its
boot process, which will take 3-4 minutes. The operational status LED indicators on the
front panel provide status information as described in Table 2.

Table 1: The CALIENT S320 Photonic Switch FSU LED indicators
If power is applied to the Power Source A input but not the Power Source B input (or vice
versa), the CALIENT S320 Photonic Switch will boot up and function, but the B PWR LED
will not be illuminated and a major alarm will be generated and communicated to the
user via the S320 management interfaces.
Please refer to the CALIENT S320 Alarm Reference Guide for a detailed description of
S320 alarm behavior.
3.5.2 Resetting system network defaults
It may be necessary to change some of the network default settings on the system
before logging into the CALIENT S320 Photonic Switch for the first time. CALIENT
provides a script to access and change these default settings as needed. The system
settings that can be changed include the following:
Host name,
IP, Netmask, and Gateway addresses,
DNS servers
NTP server
Time Zone
There are two IP interfaces eth0, eth2 and each of them has its own identity.

Document Part Number: 460166-00 Rev. C

S320 Quick Start Guide
3.5.3 Logging In
The switch supports two configurable Ethernet ports (Eth0 and Eth2) and one port
that is used for internal communication between two control processors (Eth1). The
default IP addresses for these ports are:
Eth0 : 192.168.0.2
Eth2 : Unassigned
CALIENT requires that the IP address of Eth1 must not be changed at any time. This
interface is used for internal communication between two control processors.
To access the CALIENT S320 Photonic Switch, please use the default username (there is
no password):
Username: root
After the initial installation, the username and password can be changed at the user’s
discretion. If the default password is changed, please keep a record of the new
password.
If the user-changed password is lost or forgotten, it can only be reset by disrupting
existing active connections and traffic. Please contact CALIENT Customer Service if you
lose or forget your password.
If the IP address has been changed from the default or is otherwise unknown, it can be
retrieved using the serial interface. To retrieve the current IP address, connect a serial
cable to the serial port on the CALIENT S320 Photonic Switch. Once connected and
logged in, enter gxc-config-network --show to determine the IP address of the switch.
Alternatively, use the TL1 Agent through the console or a PC, using a standard
terminal emulation program such as Putty. Please use the terminal emulation settings
listed in Connecting Using the Serial Port. The default TL1 username and password is:

Document Part Number: 460166-00 Rev. C
CALIENT Technologies Inc.
16
S320 Quick Start Guide
Username: admin
Password: pxc***
At the TL1 prompt, use the ACT-USER command to log in. The following example uses
the default username and password:
agent>act-
user::admin:::pxc***
agent>rtrv-ip
Once the IP address is known, the user must configure the client IP network interface to
be on the same subnet as the CALIENT S320 Photonic Switch. Then, the user can log into
the GUI or telnet to the TL1 agent using the S320’s management interface
Mapping of the interfaces in the hardware is as explained below:
eth0  interface B on front panel
eth2  interface A on front panel
Both interfaces are highlighted in the Figure 6 below.

3.5.4 Connecting Using the Serial Port
Unlike the Telnet connection, the TL1 service over the serial port is always enabled.
Connect a serial cable to the serial port on the front panel of the CALIENT S320 Photonic
Switch. Once connected, interact with the TL1 Agent through the console or a PC, using a
standard terminal emulation program. Table 2 lists the terminal emulation settings.
The supplied USB to RS232 serial cable appears as a UT232R in the Windows Control
Panel device manager. If a driver for this cable is not available, it can be downloaded
online at http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.
