Local admin

The DD1000i has two separated console interfaces (Local admin), one for the DATA IN section and one for the DATA OUT section of the device. They are both accessed and managed in the same manner.

Connect to the Local admin

Step 1Step 2Step 3Step 4

• Connect a keyboard to one of the USB ports, (1) in the image below.

• Connect a display to the VGA port, (2) in the image below.

• Power on the DD1000i with power buttons on the DD1000i front.

• When the login prompt is displayed, log in using
  Username: admin
  Password: see default password on the device front panel.

info

When making changes from the Local admin, settings are only applied to the connected side of the DD1000i.

Once logged in, the following main menu options are displayed:

• Device configuration...
• Admin password...
• Date and time...
• Export device logs...
• View third-party licenses...
• Factory reset...

info

When making changes via Local admin, the services might temporarily pause their data transfer but it will be resumed as quickly as possible.

Required settings at initial setup

When setting up a DD1000i for the first time it is required to set Certificate configuration.

Before using the DD1000i in an operational environment, it is highly recommended to set:

• IP configuration
• Admin password
• Date and time

Device configuration

Device configuration includes settings for IP addresses, DNS, certificates for DD Manager communication and hostname. Applying the configuration takes several minutes and therefore it is encouraged to first make all changes in the submenus before selecting Save.

IP configuration

In IP configuration..., IP addresses for the admin interface, ADMIN and data interface, DATA, can be viewed and changed. The IP set for ADMIN will be used to access the DD Manager. The IP set for DATA will be used when transferring data over the diode. DNS can be configured to resolve hostnames into IP addresses.

Default IP addresses are:

• Upstream Admin: 192.168.0.100
• Upstream Data: 192.168.1.100
• Downstream Admin: 192.168.0.101
• Downstream Data: 192.168.1.101

DNS configuration

DNS servers are used to resolve hostnames into IP addresses. The data interface DNS setting is used to configure the DNS server used by services. Without a configured DNS server, services will be unable to resolve hostnames. The admin interface DNS setting is used to configure the DNS server used by the non-service functionality of the device, e.g., remote logging. Without a configured DNS server, these functions will be unable to resolve hostnames.

When attempting to resolve a hostname, the primary DNS server will be tried first. If it's unreachable, the secondary DNS server, if configured, will be tried instead.

Change IP addresses, default gateways, and DNS servers:

Step 1Step 2Step 3Step 4Step 5Step 6Step 7

• Select Device configuration... from the main menu.

• Select IP configuration....

• The current IP address of the data and admin interfaces are displayed. Enter the IP address and subnet mask to be used.

  The format is [IP address]/[subnet mask].

• The current default gateways of the data and admin interfaces are displayed. Enter the gateways to be used.

• The current primary and secondary DNS servers of the data and admin interfaces are displayed. Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers to be used.

• Select Confirm to confirm the new IP address, gateways and DNS server.

• Once all settings are confirmed for Device configuration..., select Save to apply changes. This will take several minutes.

warning

It is recommended that all default IP addresses are changed before connecting the DD1000i in an operational environment.

Certificate configuration

In Certificate configuration..., certificates and keys needed for DD Manager access can be uploaded.

See Certificates for information about certificate generation.

warning

Authentication by certificates and keys is required. Without certificates and keys, the DD1000i cannot be configured.

Upload certifications and keys

Step 1Step 2Step 3Step 4Step 5Step 6Step 7Step 8Step 9

• Select Select file under Key and locate the key that corresponds with the selected Server certificate. The selected .key file name will be displayed after Selected:.

• Select Confirm to save selected certificates and files.

• Once all settings are confirmed for Device configuration..., select Save to apply changes. This will take several minutes.

Hostname configuration

In Hostname configuration..., the hostname used for identification of the device can be viewed and changed.

The default hostnames are:

• Upstream: dd1000i-upstream
• Downstream: dd1000i-downstream
