Accessing the System During Initial Configuration

When configuring the system for the first time, you can use a web browser to

perform most tasks. See Chapter 4, “Completing the Cisco ICS 7750 Installation,”

for system installation and configuration instructions.

Accessing the System After Initial Configuration

After system installation and configuration, you have many ways to access the

system:

•Cisco browser-based software interfaces:

–

ICSConfig—The Cisco ICS System Manager initial configuration

program (ICSConfig) enables you to specify key system parameters

during initial configuration and to change those parameters at any time

after initial configuration. For additional information, see the “Accessing

ICSConfig” section on page 5-4.

–

ICS System Manager—ICS System Manager is preinstalled on the

Cisco System Processing Engine 310 (SPE310) running System

Manager, in chassis slot 6. You can use ICS System Manager to access,

configure, monitor, and manage the chassis, its cards, and the

interconnected Catalyst switches. For additional information, see the

“Accessing ICS System Manager” section on page 5-4.

–

Cisco CallManager—You can install Cisco CallManager on SPE310s

and use the software to configure call admission control, route plans,

voice gateways (typically multiservice route processors [MRPs] or

analog station interfaces [ASIs]), Cisco IP Phones, and other features

Accessing the System

associated with transmitting voice traffic over an IP network. For

additional information, see the “Accessing Cisco CallManager” section

on page 5-8.

•Cisco IOS software command-line interface (CLI)—You can use Cisco IOS

software to configure ASIs, MRPs, and SSPs. For additional information, see

the “Accessing the Cisco IOS CLI on ASIs, MRPs, and the SSP Through

Telnet” section on page 5-11.

•Microsoft Windows software interfaces:

–

Terminal Services Client—You can use Terminal Services Client to

access the SPE310 desktop and perform standard Windows file

management operations on the SPE310. For additional information, see

the “Accessing SPE310s” section on page 5-8.

Terminal Services Client is packaged with Windows 2000. Terminal

Services Client is also available for downloading and installing on to

other Windows operating systems. See the “Installing Microsoft

Terminal Services Client” section on page 2-19 for installation

instructions.

–

Terminal emulation interfaces—You can use native tools such as Telnet

and HyperTerminal to configure system cards. You can also connect

directly to the system alarm processor (SAP) through a console or

modem connection and troubleshoot system cards. For additional

information, see the “Accessing Processor Cards Through the SAP”

section on page 5-12.

•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)–based Management

Information Base (MIB)—You can use the SNMP MIB to manage the

Cisco ICS 7750 with software such as CiscoWorks2000 and HP OpenView.

(For additional information, see the “Using Network Management Solutions

with the Cisco ICS 7750” section on page 6-146.)

Determining the ICS System Manager Version

The ICS System Manager bundle version number is displayed on the System

Manager home page, in a box just under the graphic representation of the system

chassis.

For example:

Software Bundle:

V<version number>

Running since:

The ICS System Manager home page also lists the cards currently running in the

system chassis, as well as their assigned IP addresses and the software running on

each. You can switch between a summary view and a detailed view of the

hardware and software installed on the cards in the system.

Determining the Cisco IOS Software Release Running on the SSP

You can use ICS System Manager to determine the Cisco IOS software release

that is running on the SSP, as well as other information about the SSP, as follows:

Step 1 Click the Configure tab on the ICS System Manager home page.

Step 2 Click SSP Manager.

Step 3 If prompted, log in as an administrator (user ID administrator), and enter your

password (the default is changeme).

Step 4 Click show tech-support.

The system invokes the show version command on the SSP. The following is

sample output from this command:

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software

IOS (tm) C2900XL Software (C2900XL-C3H2S-M), Version 12.0(5.2)XU,

Step 2 Click Applications.

The page refreshes, displaying a table that contains information about the

SPE310s and the applications that are running on them.

Step 3 Click the desired CallManager Administration: IP address/CCMAdmin link

(where IP address is the IP address of the target SPE310 running

Cisco CallManager).

Step 4 Log in to CallManager as an administrator.

Note You can also access Cisco CallManager on the Cisco ICS 7750 by entering the

following URL, replacing IP address with the IP address of an SPE310 running

Cisco CallManager: http://IP address/CCMAdmin.

Accessing SPE310s

You can use Terminal Services Client to access the SPE310 desktop, as described

in the following topics:

•Accessing the SPE310 Windows Interface Through Terminal Services Client,

Accessing the SPE310 Windows Interface Through Terminal Services Client

To access the SPE310 Windows interface through Terminal Services Client,

follow these steps:

Step 1 On the PC that you use to administer the Cisco ICS 7750, choose Start >

Programs > Terminal Services Client > Client Connection Manager.

Step 2 Use the Client Connection Manager to open a Terminal Services connection with

the target SPE310:

•If you already have a Terminal Services Client connection defined for the

target SPE310, choose it, and choose File > Connect.

•If you do not have a Terminal Services Client connection defined for the

target SPE310, choose File > New Connection. Follow the instructions in

the wizard. Then choose File > Connect.

The Terminal Services Client window opens. You can use Terminal Services

Client to access standard Windows utilities on the SPE310, such as Windows

Explorer and the Control Panel.

Accessing the SPE310 Windows Interface Through Directly Connected

Peripherals

You can connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly to the SPE310 to access

the Windows user interface, as follows.

Note For a summary of the issues related to the connection of peripherals to SPE310s,

as well as best practices for using peripherals with SPE310s, see the “Using

Note For a list of USB peripherals that have been tested on the Cisco ICS 7750, see the

“Using Peripherals with SPE310s” section on page 5-19.

Step 1 Connect the monitor cable to the video port on the SPE310, and power on the

monitor.

Step 2 Do one of the following, based on the type of peripherals that you are using:

•USB—Connect a USB keyboard to one SPE310 USB port, and connect a

USB mouse to the other SPE310 USB port.

•PS/2—Connect the “Y” splitter cable for your keyboard and mouse to the

keyboard/mouse port on the target SPE310. Then connect your keyboard and

mouse to the available ends of the “Y” splitter cable.

Note If you are using the “Y” splitter cable to connect a PS/2 mouse and a

keyboard to the SPE310, the keyboard and mouse must be connected

at or before the time that the SPE310 is rebooted in order to be

recognized by the operating system. A USB keyboard and mouse are

usually recognized without rebooting the operating system.

Step 3 Use the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to access standard Windows utilities on

the SPE310, such as Windows Explorer and the Control Panel.
