Procedure

I. Installing the Firewall Wizard Software

This section describes how to install the Firewall Wizard Software. If it is already installed on the Service Laptop, skip to the next section, II. Configuring the Firewall.

1. Close all applications running on the Service Laptop.
2. Insert the Firewall Wizard Installation CD.
3. If the Installation Program does not start automatically, navigate to the CD and double click the folder named Wizard X.X.X.X, then double-click the FirewallWizard file.
4. Accept all default suggestions by clicking Next on each screen and install the software.
5. When the installation is complete, verify that the desktop contains an icon labeled FirewallWizard X.X.X.X, where X.X.X.X is the current software version number.
6. Double-click the Wizard icon and verify that the software starts and displays the Welcome to the Gen-Probe Firewall Configuration Wizard page.

II. Configuring the Firewall

This section describes how to custom configure the Firewall using network information supplied in the Network Configuration section of the Panther System Site Assessment Form.

A. Connecting the Firewall to the Laptop

1. Turn on the laptop and wait for the Operating System (XP or 7) to start.
2. Remove all cables from the Firewall.
3. Plug the Firewall ACAlternating current/CD Power Supply Adapter into the Firewall jack marked Power.

4. Plug the appropriate Firewall Power UPS Cable into the AC/DC Adapter.

6. If equipped, plug the Firewall Serial Cable into the Service Laptop's RS-232/DB-9 Serial Port and skip to step 9.

7. If the Service laptop does not have an RS-232/DB-9 connector, plug the Firewall Serial Cable (DB-9 connector) into the mating DB-9 connector of the USB-to-Serial Adapter Cable.

8. Plug the USB connector into the Service Laptop.
9. If the Microsoft Windows XP or 7 Operating system begins to install a driver, wait until the process finishes. Microsoft may try to install a driver for the USB device. If this occurs, see installation instructions in SOP 19-02-03 Installation of USB-to-Serial Converter Multi1USV RS232 XP PC.

E. Setting the FSE Laptop Serial Port Configuration for Communicating with the Firewall

When the Service Laptop is connected to the Firewall, the Wizard Serial Port page will verify and test the connection automatically.

1. On the Serial Port page, the Wizard automatically displays the correct connected serial port. If another serial port is required, select the new serial port from the Port drop-down menu.

Testing Connection to COMx displays while the Wizard tests the connection.

Connect OK, IOS=x, ASDM=x displays when the test is complete.

3. If No connected ports displays, check to be sure the cables are connected.
4. Click Test to test the connection.

5. When the connection is confirmed, continue to F. Setting Site and Instrument Information.

F. Setting Site and Instrument Information

This section provides the configuration output files with the default filenames for ease of retrieval. This section also allows the FSE/ISE to select which Instrument type with which the Firewall will be used. This information can be found in the Panther System Site Assessment Form.

Note—Entries into the Site Info page text boxes are limited to 35 alpha/numeric characters and spaces.

1. On the Site Info page, enter the following information:

• Site Name

• FSE/ISE full name

• Firewall Serial Number (the serial number is located on the back of the firewall component)

  

2. Select Panther for the Gen-Probe Instrument Model and click Next.

G. Configuring the Firewall for Instrument Environment (Customer Site vs. Gen-Probe Internal)

The Wizard can configure the Firewall to communicate with a Customer Site or with an internal Gen-Probe Development Environment.

Note—Customer Site is the default setting for FSE installs.

If the Firewall will be used at a Customer Site

1. On the Specify where the Firewall is physically Located page, select Yes and click Next.

2. Continue to H. Entering IP Address Settings.

If the Firewall will be used at Gen-Probe

1. On the Specify where the Firewall is physically Located page, select No, this is a special firewall inside Gen-Probe and click Next.

A Select Environments for Firewall Located inside Gen-Probe page appears.

2. Select at least one of the following server environments:

• RDxM Production
• RDxM QAS / V and V
• RDxM Development
• Axeda Enterprise
• Axeda Sandbox

3. Click Next.

H. Entering IP Address Settings

The Wizard can configure the Firewall to allow a customer's network to assign a temporary IP address (DHCP) or to assign a permanent IP address (Static IP Address). This information is contained in the Panther System Site Assessment Form.

For DHCP Addressing

1. On the Select Dynamic or Static Outside Firewall IP Address page, select DHCP and click Next.

2. On the Select how to specify the DHCP Range, select either Use IP Address Range or Use Gateway, according to the information on the Panther System Site Assessment Form, and click Next.

3. If the customer site uses a DHCP IP Address Range, on the Outside Firewall DHCP IP Address Range page, enter the starting and ending IP Addresses and click Next.

4. If the customer site uses a DHCP Gateway, enter the Gateway Address and click Next.

For Static IP Addressing

1. On the Select Dynamic or Static Outside Firewall IP Address page, select Static IP Address and click Next.

2. On the Network Configuration for the Static outside Firewall page, enter the Firewall, Netmask, and Gateway IP Addresses from the Panther System Site Assessment Form and click Next.

I. Entering DNS Settings

DNS must be configured on the Firewall, because the PRO360° NTR Global and the PRO360° RSL applications use domain names (i.e., RDxM.Gen-Probe.com) to access Gen-Probe servers. DNS allows this software to resolve these domain names to IP Addresses (i.e., RDxM.Gen-Probe.com resolves to 70.164.126.19).

The Preferred DNS IP and Alternate DNS IP will be pre-populated. Both DNS IP Address entries are required. The default values can be deleted and replaced with customer-selected values, if preferred. This information can be found in the Panther System Site Assessment form.

The Wizard requires two DNS IP non-duplicate addresses to be entered for configuring the Firewall. Any combination of default addresses and customer-selected values can be used to configure the Firewall.

1. On the Enter the Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses to be Used page, enter and confirm both DNS addresses.

2. To reset to the default values, click Defaults.
3. Click Next.

J. Connecting to a TCP/IP LIS

1. For customers requesting Panther instrument communication to their LIS using a TCP/IP interface, select Yes and click Next.

2. Enter the LIS Server IP address and TCP Port, and click Next.

K. Specifying a Network Printer

2. When satisfied that all information is correct, click Save.

A File Save dialog box appears.

3. Click OK.
4. Confirm that the Service Laptop is properly connected to the Firewall.
5. On the Please Review Your Input page, click Configure.
