1Introduction

The Cisco Content Transformation Engine (CTE) 1400 Series handles requests for applications from

devices with microbrowser screens and uses transformation instructions to convert applications into

appropriate formats. Transformation instructions are created in the companion PC-based application,

Design Studio.

This document provides instructions for installing the CTE and performing the initial configuration

procedure.

2Install the Cisco CTE 1400 Series Hardware

This section describes how to install the CTE hardware in your network environment.

Requirements

To set up the CTE, you need the following hardware in addition to the items delivered with the CTE:

•Power cable

•Null-modem cable (9-pin female connector at both ends)

•A computer capable of hosting terminal console communication through a serial port

•One or two network cables to connect the CTE to a LAN

Procedure

The following steps summarize the hardware installation procedure described in the Cisco CTE 1400

Series Hardware Installation Guide:

Step 1 Install the CTE in a rack (if rack-mounted).

Step 2 Use network cables to connect the CTE NIC 1 (e0) port to your network (such as to a server

load balancer). For information on using the NIC 2 (e1) port, refer to the Cisco CTE

Configuration Note.

Step 3 Connect a null-modem cable to the 9-pin serial port on the CTE and connect the cable to a

computer that is capable of running terminal emulation software.

Step 4 On the computer, start a terminal emulation application. For example, start HyperTerminal.

Step 5 Set the serial connection to 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit; set the

Backspace key to issue a Delete character.

Hardware flow control is optional.

Step 6 Power up the CTE.

After about five minutes, the CTE serial console appears on the computer terminal.

You are now ready to configure the CTE with your network. If you are upgrading the CTE, go to

section 3. Otherwise, skip to section 4.

3Upgrade the Cisco CTE 1400 Series Software

If you are installing a new device, rather than an upgrade, skip this section.

Requirements

To upgrade to Release 2.7, you need the Release 2.7 Restore CD-ROM.

Note Be aware that an upgrade is a complete new installation, and it will overwrite any previous

CTE settings.

Upgrade Procedure

To upgrade your CTE, perform these steps:

Step 1 Make sure that a PC capable of hosting terminal emulation software is connected to the CTE;

power on both systems.

Step 2 Insert the CTE Release 2.7 Restore CD into the CD-ROM drive of the CTE.

Step 3 Power down the CTE.

Step 4 Wait 10 seconds.

Step 5 Power on the CTE.

Step 6 When the installation has completed, the serial console displays the message “Installation

successful.”

Step 7 When the upgrade is complete, eject the Restore CD and reboot the CTE.

Step 8 When the CTE restarts, the CTE serial console opens.

You are now ready to configure the CTE with your network.

4Configure the CTE for the First Time

This section describes the minimum configuration required to establish and test a connection between

your CTE and another device such as a server load balancer, switch, or web server.

Procedure

To configure the CTE, perform these general steps:

Step 1 In the CTE serial console, set the root password when prompted.

a. Enter a password of 8 or more characters.

b. Verify the password when prompted.

Step 2 Enter the IP address and netmask for Interface 0 when prompted:

IP address [x.x.x.x] (Enter 0 to clear):

ipAddress

Netmask [x.x.x.x] (Enter 0 to clear):

netmask

Step 3 Enter the IP address of the gateway device when prompted.

Gateway [x.x.x.x]:

gateway ipAddress

Step 4 The first DNS server is automatically set. If you want to change it, you can enter a different

IP address when prompted. Otherwise, press Enter to leave this setting unchanged.

DNS server[0] [x.x.x.x] (Enter 0 to clear):

Step 5 You can define two other DNS servers when prompted if you wish. To leave these values unset,

press Enter at each prompt.

Step 6 Enter the name, if any, that you want to use as your default domain name, such as

www.fox.com.

Domain Name [ ] (Enter 0 to clear):

Step 7 Type 1and then 6to ping the connected device.

If the ping command is successful, you have completed the initial configuration. If you are

unable to ping the connected device, refer to the Cisco CTE Configuration Note for

troubleshooting information.

For detailed information on other configuration settings, see the Cisco CTE Configuration Note.

Continue configuring the CTE from the Administration interface. Perform these steps:

Step 1 From a web browser, enter:

https://ipAddress:9001

Where:

– ipAddress is the IP address of your CTE

–9001 is the administration port

Step 2 Click the Network tab.

Step 3 Click Yes in the Security Alert dialog box.

Step 4 Log in as root, and enter the root password that you defined in the CTE serial console.

Step 5 On the Interfaces screen of the Network tab, define the Masquerade Host for Interface 0. The

masquerade host is an IP address that can be used for Network Address Translation (NAT).

Step 6 Click Submit to save your changes. Although a Restart Server button appears, you do not need

to restart the server yet.

Step 7 On the Ports screen of the Network tab, select from the Listen on Interface drop-down menu

the IP address that you have conﬁgured for Interface 0.

Step 8 Click Submit to save your changes and then click Restart Server.

Step 9 After the server restarts, click the Administration tab.

Step 10 Click Yes in the Security Information dialog box.

Step 11 On the Users screen of the Administration tab, specify a username and password for each

Design Studio user. Enter a username of at least 6 characters and a password of at least 8

characters. Click the Add User button.

From your web browser, check network connectivity by entering

http://ipAddress:httpPort.

For example, if the IP address of your CTE is 192.168.10.0 and its HTTP port is 80, enter

http://192.168.10.0:80.

If the ScreenTop Menu appears, the CTE is properly configured. If the ScreenTop Menu does

not appear, check the settings.

Continue to the next section to install Design Studio.
