Note Current SEP and SEP-E modules do not fit earlier Altiga VPN Concentrator Models C10, C20, and C50. The modules may fit earlier Models C15, C30, and C60, depending on chassis design. If the expansion modules fasten with screws, they will fit; if they fasten with latches, they will not fit. |
Your VPN Concentrator uses either SEP or SEP-E modules, not both. Do not install both types of modules on the same device. If you install a SEP-E module on a VPN Concentrator that already contains a SEP module, the VPN Concentrator disables the SEP module and uses only the SEP-E.
To recognize and use the SEP-E, your VPN Concentrator must be running software version 4.0.
These instructions do not apply to the VPN Concentrator Model 3005. Model 3005 does not accept SEP modules.
 |
Warning Always shut down the VPN Concentrator before removing or installing a SEP or SEP-E module. |
Read through all the instructions to become familiar with the steps.
 |
Caution The VPN Concentrator and the SEP and SEP-E modules contain electronic components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). While they are protected by the chassis and module housing, improper handling could damage components. Leave the module in its protective ESD-shielded envelope until instructed to remove it, and handle it only as instructed. |
If you have any reservations about installing the module, ask for assistance from a qualified technician.
You should save the current VPN Concentrator configuration file and copy it to a remote system before you proceed. See the Administration | File Management | TFTP Transfer screen in the VPN Concentrator Manager.
VPN Concentrator expansion slots and their sequence are shown in Figure 1, looking at rear of chassis. Always insert SEP or SEP-E modules in the the slots sequentially.
SEP and SEP-E modules look very similar. They are differentiated by a small label on the lower right of the cover plate. (See Figure 1.) The SEP module is labeled "SEP 200U." The SEP-E module is labeled "SEP-E."
If you are installing a SEP-E module, update the VPN Concentrator software to Version 4.0 or greater. (If you are installing a SEP module, skip this step.)
Step 2 Update the VPN Concentrator software to Release 4.0 or greater. See the Administration | Software Update | Concentrator screen in the VPN Concentrator Manager.
Follow the instructions below to install the new SEP or SEP-E module.
|
Warning Removing or installing a SEP-E on a system that is not powered off can destroy the module. Always shut down the VPN Concentrator before removing or installing a SEP or SEP-E module. |
Step 2 Turn power off: press O on the VPN Concentrator power switch (on the power module, on the rear of the chassis).
Step 3 Leave the VPN Concentrator plugged in to an outlet with a reliable Earth ground.
The VPN Concentrator does not support SEP and SEP-E modules simultaneously. If your VPN Concentrator currently has SEP modules installed, remove them before installing the SEP-E module. (If you are installing a SEP module, skip this step.)
Step 2 Remove the new module from its ESD envelope.
Step 3 With the VPN Concentrator plugged in to a grounded outlet but still turned off, simultaneously touch the VPN Concentrator case with one hand and the module case with the other hand for at least 5 seconds to dissipate any static charge. (See Figure 4.)
Step 4 Orient and insert the module in the correct slot. (See "Identifying the Correct Slot.") Push module all the way in, so that its cover plate is flush with the rear chassis. (See Figure 5.)
|
Caution The module slides in easily. Do not force it |
Step 5 Tighten the two captive screws to seat module firmly in its slot. (See Figure 5.)
Follow these steps to confirm that you have installed the module correctly:
Step 2 Check LEDs on front and rear.
a. Front: Expansion Module Insertion Status and Run Status should be ON (green) for the installed number of modules.
b. Rear: On all installed modules, Power should be ON (green). If you installed a SEP-E module, Active should be ON (green). If you installed a SEP module, Status should be ON (green).
Step 3 Using the VPN Concentrator Manager, check the Monitor | System Status screen. Be sure the module is included in the back-panel image. Click the module to examine its status.
The module itself has no configurable parameters.
