Setup Instructions

Refer to the safety guidelines for installation in the 7850 NSG Hardware Guide before beginning setup. See the Nokia Support Portal.

1

Insert Sim Card (NSG-C601 only)

Insert a sim card into the front sim slot. 

NOTE: Hot-swapping the sim card is not supported. Always power down the NSG-C601 before inserting or replacing the sim card.

2

Attach WiFi and LTE Antennas (NSG-C601 only)

Match the WiFi and LTE icons on the main unit to those on the antennas.

Screw the antennas in clockwise until hand tight.

Adjust antenna and/or main unit position to improve signal strength, as required.

3

Connect Power

Connect your 7850 NSG-C600 series power adapter to the unit. 

Then connect your 7850 NSG-C600 series to the AC power supply (100-240V).

4

Connect WAN

Connect Port 4 to the laptop using an Ethernet cable.

For auto-bootstrapping mode, insert the USB bootstrap key into any USB port and power on the NSG.

  • Ports 1 to 3 are uplink ports.

Troubleshooting

LED Indicators

The LED indicators on the NSG-C600 series provide status information for various functions. The following is a list of behaviors for each LED indicator.

Pre-Bootstrapping Functionality

The Nuage bootstrapping solution allows the NSG to securely connect to VSCs, download their service configuration, and connect end users to their services based on pre-defined policies with minimal user interaction. Once the NSG is successfully bootstrapped, it has access to the full feature set provided by the Nuage VSC and VSD.

Some functionality is available to the NSG prior to bootstrapping. Pre-bootstrapping features allow you to perform troubleshooting tests on an NSG that has failed to bootstrap. These features are included as part of the factory software shipped on the NSG.

Refer to the "Bootstrapping" chapter in the Nuage VNS User Guide for more information about bootstrapping and pre-bootstrapping functionality.

Status Webpage

  • An NSG status webpage is available from the LAN access ports prior to the NSG bootstrapping. The status page is available here.
  • The status presents real-time information on bootstrapping status, WAN check status, mobile connection, IP configuration, storage, memory, and SSH.

NSG WAN Checks

  • An uplink configuration script can be executed via CLI to allow you to configure a single WAN uplink prior to bootstrapping. This allows you to perform WAN connectivity checks without having to bootstrap the NSG.
  • Once the WAN uplink is configured, you can perform a ping, tracepath, route, or NSLookup command to verify WAN connectivity.

NSG Info

  • NSG info can be viewed by a Nuage user from the CLI pre-bootstrap. Run the nsginfo script to see the NSG type, serial number, MAC address, UUID, and other information.

NSG Logging

  • During NSG bootstrapping, each page in the bootstrapping captive portal includes a Show Advanced Log button. The button expands or collapses a window that shows the logs generated by the NSG during bootstrapping. The window provides a visualization of bootstrapping warnings, errors, and info messages as they are raised in realtime.
  • You can download an archive of NSG log files via the NSG bootstrapping captive portal or via the NSG CLI prior to bootstrapping.
  • These log files can be useful for troubleshooting if a support team member needs advanced log details about a failed bootstrapping attempt.

SSH

  • By default, SSH is not enabled on a pre-bootstrapped NSG. You can enable the SSH service for remote access through the NSG console or from the NSG status webpage.

Bootstrapping via LTE

  • Bootstrapping via LTE is supported only on the NSG-C601 with the 6.0.3-12 software load.
  • To verify the software load on your NSG-C601, refer to the part number on the label on the bottom of the unit.
  • The part number 3HE15344AARA01 corresponds to the 6.0.1-11 software load.
  • The part number 3HE15344AARB01 corresponds to the 6.0.3-12 software load.
