Before You Start
Please read this guide thoroughly as it describes the basic installation of
the device. Additional configuration that is needed to deploy the device in
a specific environment can be performed by using online help.
This guide also provides an example of a typical 6400LF2 deployment
that can be used as a guideline for your installation.
Requirements for Installation
•A computer with a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator or any other browser of your choice
•At least one Ethernet cross-over cable

Instructions
Step 1 −Connecting the Cables
Figure 1: 6400LF2 Back Panel
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet crossover cable to local LAN port 1 of 6400LF. This port
can be seen in area “B” of Figure 1: 6400LF2 Front Panel. Connect the other end of
the cable to your computer’s Ethernet port.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet crossover cable to a PC with a web browser.
3. If AC power supply modules are installed in the chassis, plug one end of the power
adapter into an AC outlet and the other end into the power receptacle on the 6400LF,
noted in area “A” of Figure 1: 6400LF2 Back Panel.
4. If DC power supply modules are installed in the chassis, complete the following steps *:
a) Turn off the DC power supply for the 6400LF2.
b) Attach the grounding cable to the corresponding terminal lug, located in area “A”
of Figure 1: 6400LF2 Back Panel.

c) Connect the positive and negative cables to their corresponding terminals, also
located in area “A” of Figure 1: 6400LF2 Back Panel.
d) Turn on the DC power supply for the 6400LF2.
5. Turn the power switch “on”, as shown in area “A” of Figure 2: 6400LF2 Front Panel (see
the following page).

Step 2 −Configuring the 6400LF2
You can configure the 6400LF2 EdgeMarc and 6400LF2 EdgeProtect appliances using
a simple web-based user interface. Configure the 6400LF2 EdgeView appliance using
YaST, a pre-installed, LINUX-based system management tool.
Configuring the 6400LF2 EdgeMarc and 6400LF2 EdgeProtect
You can configure the 6400LF2 EdgeMarc and 6400LF2 EdgeProtect appliance using a web
browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The 6400LF2 is shipped with the
pre-configured IP address 192.168.1.1 for the LAN port .
Requirement: To connect a PC directly to the appliance, you must use an ethernet
crossover cable.
To connect to the 6400LF2 EdgeMarc and 6400LF2 EdgeProtect, follow these steps:
1. Assign static IP address 192.168.1.2 with subnet 255.255.255.0 to a PC
2. Connect the PC to LAN port 2 (also labeled as NIC2) of the 6400LF2 using the ethernet
crossover cable
3. Launch a web browser on the PC and enter the URL string: 192.168.1.1. Press Return
The login window appears
4. Enter the username root and the password default to log into the system
The initial 6400LF2 main configuration menu appears

5. Select Network and start configuring the 6400LF2 appliance.
Note
For secure network management on an EdgeMarc or EdgeProtect 6400LF2 appliance,
change the default user name and password as described in the VOS for EdgeMarc User
Manual.
Configuring the 6400LF2 EdgeView
You can configure the 6400LF2 Edgeview appliance using YaST, a pre-installed,
LINUX-based system management tool. Access YaST from the command line
interface of the EdgeView appliance.
To connect to the 6400LF2 Edgeview appliance, follow these steps:
1. Connect a PC with a cross-over Ethernet cable to Port 1 of the EdgeView
chassis.
2. Since Port 1 is 192.168.1.1, configure your PC to have the IP address of
192.168.1.2, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway of 192.168.1.1.
3. Make sure you can ping 192.168.1.1 from your PC.
4. Open your favorite SSH application on your PC and SSH to the EdgeView.
(Note: The new LF chassis only accept SSH v2. In PuTTY, go to the SSH tab on
the left and under Preferred SSH Protocol Version, select 2)
5. Log into the CLI.
6. Type ‘yast’ at the # prompt. The configuration page appears as follows:

7. Continue to configure the EdgeView appliance as described in “Chapter 2.
Getting Started” of the EdgeView 6400 User Manual.

Step 3 −Plan Your Configuration
The EdgeMarc 6400LF2 can be deployed as a gateway router in a network. It can also be
deployed in a network behind an existing firewall. Based on your deployment criteria, consult
the following documents for further configuration:
•6400LF2 EdgeMarc Hardware Installation Guide
•VoIP Operating System (VOS) for EdgeMarc User Manual
Helpful Hints
Although not recommended, the EdgeMarc 6400LF2 and IP phones can be installed behind an
existing enterprise firewall. In this instance the firewall will have to be configured to allow access
to and from the EdgeMarc 6400LF’s public IP address for the following ports:
Port Type
Firewall Ports to Open
UDP
161 (SNMP) and 162 (SNMPTRAP)
RTP
1056 to 1255
TCP
SSH TCP 22 for remote management & TCP 80 for WAN
configuration-downloads
Telnet
23
FTP
TCP 21 for stateful TCP-session control from 6400LF2 to
Edgewater FTP server
MGCP
2427, 2429, 2432, and 2727
NTP ¬
123
SIP
5060 and 5075
IP phones normally point to a local NTP server for their time reference. The NTP port 123
needs to be opened if your network does not have an NTP server.
Please Note: Traffic shaping for this configuration is only available if the enterprise data
devices are also installed behind the 6400LF2 appliance.
