GETTING STARTED
Use the following steps to configure the TNSR Secure Router.
1. To configure the Network Interfaces and gaining access to the Internet, follow the instructions provided in the
Zero-to-Ping documentation.
Note: Not all steps in the Zero-to-Ping documentation will be necessary for every configuration scenario.
2. Once the Host OS is capable of reaching the Internet, check for updates (Updating TNSR) before proceeding.
This ensures the security and integrity of the router before TNSR interfaces are exposed to the Internet.
3. Finally, configure the TNSR instance to meet the specific use case. The topics are listed on the left column of
the TNSR Documentation site. There are also TNSR Configuration Example Recipes that might be of assistance
when configuring TNSR.

LED State Description
9a
Continuously on and red An overheat condition has
occurred.
(This may be caused by cable
congestion.)
Blinking red (1Hz) Fan failure, check for an
inoperative fan.
Blinking red (0.25Hz) Power failure, check for a
non-operational power supply.
Solid blue Local UID has been activated. Use
this function through
IPMI to locate the server in a rack
mount environment.
Blinking blue Remote UID is on. Use this
function through IPMI to
identify the server from a remote
location.
9b
Flashing Indicates network activity on igb1
(upper left port).
9c
Flashing Indicates network activity on igb0
(lower left port).
9d
Flashing Indicates IDE channel activity on
the hard drive.
9e
Illuminated Indicates power is being supplied to
the system power supply
units. This LED should normally be
illuminated when the
system is operating.
Off Indicates no power is being
supplied to the system power
supply. System is powered off.

CONNECTING TO THE CONSOLE PORT
Connecting to the VGA console is identical to connecting any computer to a monitor. Just connect the VGA cable
(DB-15) between the Netgate appliance and the monitor. Use USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse as applicable to your
hardware.
