CCA-3074 Installation and Configuration
707161-003 2-1
Chapter 2. Configuration Overview
The configuration for the CCA-3074 is stored on the hard drive in the file FEP4600.ini
located in the /usr/local/etc directory. This file is actually a link to the file that was the
last active configuration file (identified as active on the Save/Restore Configurations
panel). Multiple configuration files can be created and stored on the hard drive. A default
configuration file is loaded on in the factory. You will need to perform a configuration to
customize the CCA-3074 for your environment. Once configured, you should keep a
backup of your configuration in a safe place. You may copy your active configuration to
a USB memory stick or you may use the Visara eManager product to retrieve backups of
your CCA-3074 automatically.
Note: if a floppy with a FEP4600.ini file is inserted into the floppy drive, the file will
be copied over to the hard drive at boot time (overwriting the current configuration
stored there), and the CCA-3074 will attempt to boot on the provided configuration.
Configuration of the Visara CCA-3074 platform is accomplished through a locally
attached monitor, keyboard, and mouse, or through a secure browser interface (HTTPS).
Note that the browser that you use should be capable of establishing an HTTPS
connection. Each CCA-3074 ships from the factory preconfigured for the IP address of
192.168.0.46. You may use this address or define a different address by editing the
FEP4600.ini file included on the diskette that shipped with the CCA-3074. Refer to the
previous chapter if you need to change the IP address.
You may override the configuration stored on the hard drive by inserting a floppy
containing a copy of the FEP4600.ini file, and forcing a boot of the platform.
The configuration of your CCA-3074 is password protected. If you forget your password,
you may work around the problem by using the original floppy which ships with the
platform. It has the default administrative password (‘admin’) configured (and
encrypted). Just insert the floppy and reboot. Do not attempt to edit the password in the
file to make a change. Because it is encrypted, typing anything in its place will change
the password to something unknown. If you have forgotten your password and have also
misplaced your floppy, contact your Visara representative. Note that you should limit the
parameters in the file to just the password entry, since any parameters listed in the file
may overwrite your current configuration parameters.
