After all DS/DSR appliances are configured, you may add CPS appliances and
SPC devices to the system.
To add a new CPS appliance to the system:
1. Load the DSAdmin software.
2. Double-click on the icons labeled Topology and then Your Network. A listing of
all DS appliances accessible by the system will be displayed.
3. First, you must configure the CPS appliance for use with a DS/DSR appli-
ance. Begin by establishing a Telnet session to your CPS appliance. From
the CPS command line, enter the following command:
SERVER SECURITY MODE=DSSSL DSAUTH=[ Authentication Address]
In place of [Authentication Address], enter the proper information for
your DS/DSR appliance.
In configurations where security is enabled, enter the primary DSAuth
Server’s IP address followed by the secondary server.
For example:
SERVER SECURITY MODE=DSSSL DSAUTH=111.11.11.1, 222.22.22.2
In configurations where security is not enabled, enter the word any.
For example:
SERVER SECURITY MODE=DSSSL DSAUTH=any
Press Return to accept the configuration.
4. From DSAdmin, select File - New - CPS. The Properties dialog box
will appear.
5. In the Device Identification tab, enter the IP address for the CPS appliance
that you are adding. This is the IP address that you assigned in the Terminal
Applications menu. See the CPS Installer/User Guide for more information.
