Note

This section provides step-by-step instructions on how to get started with NS9600 Sensor. This includes a check-list of the topics that you should review before setting up the Sensor, its physical installation steps, cabling requirements, how to install interface and transceiver modules, steps to set it up with Trellix IPS Manager, and license requirements. Trellix recommends that you go through the entire hardware guide for a better understanding of how to configure and manage the Sensor.

  1. Before you start setting up the NS9600 Sensor, do the following:

    1. Learn about the components of NS9600 Sensor and LED specifications

    2. Review the safety considerations

    3. Review the product compliance information

    4. Check the Sensor technical specifications

    5. Verify the hardware and software requirements

    6. Verify the contents in the box

    7. Review the considerations and scenarios for NS9600 Sensor stack, if you want to configure and use stacked Sensors

  2. Perform the physical installation of the Sensor:

    1. Unpack the Sensor

    2. Learn how to position the Sensor

    3. Install the slide rails and rack mount the Sensor

  3. Attach required cables to the Sensor:

    1. Connect the cable to the Console port

    2. Connect the cable to the Response port

    3. Connect the cable to the Management port

    4. Connect cables to the Monitoring ports

    5. Learn how to Cable the Sensors in a stack, if you want to configure NS9600 stacked Sensors

  4. Install an Interface module:

    1. Learn about the network interface modules supported in NS9600 Sensor

      Caution

      Apart from the interface modules discussed in the topic above (that is, 4-port 100/40 Gigabit SR MTP/MPO interface module, 6-port RJ45 10/1 Gigabit Ethernet interface module with built-in fail open and 8-port 10/1 Gigabit fiber (SM and MM) interface module with built-in fail open), no other interface modules are compatible with NS9600 Sensor.

    2. Install an interface module during a fresh installation of the Sensor or on an up and running Sensor

  5. Install a transceiver module:

    1. Learn about the transceiver modules supported in NS9600 Sensor

    2. Install a transceiver module in the Sensor

      Note

      Transceiver modules are supported in built-in G0 slot only.

  6. Install the Trellix IPS Manager Software and then set up the Sensor with the Manager:

    1. Add the Sensor (as a standalone or stack) to the Manager

    2. Configure Sensor information

    3. Verify successful installation

  7. Obtain and manage NS9600 licenses:

    1. Review the license requirement for NS9600 Sensor

    2. Manage licenses for NS9600 Sensor

  8. After you have successfully set up and configured the Sensor:
