Before you begin:
- If the protector will reside on a Forcepoint DLP Appliance, follow the instructions on the quick start poster to rack, cable, and power on the appliance.
Note that at least one of the P1, P2, and N interfaces must be configured for monitor mode (it doesn’t matter which one).
- If the protector will reside on other hardware:
- Connect to the command line via a direct terminal or serial port. For serial port connection, configure the terminal application (for example, HyperTerminal or TeraTerm) as follows:
- 19200 baud
- 8 data bits
- no parity
- 1 stop bit
- no flow control
- Restart the machine.
- An installer page appears. Press Enter and the machine is automatically restarted a second time.
