Chapter 5: Configuring the ACS Console Server in Wizard Mode 39

The first step to configure your ACS console server is to select a security profile. One of the

following situations is applicable when you boot the console server.

• The ACS console server is starting for the first time or after a reset to factory default. In this

situation when you boot the console server and log in as an administrator to the Web Manager,

a security warning dialog box appears. The Web Manager is redirected to Step 1: Security

Profile in the Wizard mode. Further navigation to other sections of the Web Manager is not

possible without selecting or configuring a security profile. Once you select or configure a

security profile and apply the changes, the console server Web Manager restarts for the

security configuration to take effect.

• The console server firmware is upgraded and the system is restarting with the new firmware.In

this situation the console server was already in use and certain configuration parameters were

saved in the Flash memory. In this case the console server automatically retrieves the Custom

Security Profile parameters saved in the Flash memory and behaves as it was a normal reboot.

• The console server is restarting normally. In this situation, the console server detects the pre-

defined security profile. You can continue working in the Web Manager.

Serial port settings and security profiles

All serial ports on console server units shipped from the factory are disabled by default. The

administrator can enable ports individually or collectively and assign specific users to

individual ports.

The following figure shows the default factory settings of serial ports.

If you reconfigure the security profile and restart the Web Manager, make sure the serial ports

protocols and access methods match the selected security profile. A reminder dialog box will

appear before you can proceed to Step 2: Network Setting.
