The device is shipped with the following services enabled in the default security policy: DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, and SSH.

To provide secure traffic, a basic set of screens are configured on the untrust zone.

Enabling Basic Connectivity

Ensure that the device is powered on.
Connect to the console port:
1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the console port on your device.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter to the serial port on the management device. Use the following values to configure the serial port:
  Bits per second—9600; Parity—None; Data bits—8; Stop bits—1; Flow control—None.
Note:
We no longer include the console cable as part of the device package. If the console cable and adapter are not included in your device package, or if you need a different type of adapter, you can order the following separately:

RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)

RJ-45 to USB-A adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBA)

RJ-45 to USB-C adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBC)

If you want to use an RJ-45 to USB-A or RJ-45 to USB-C adapter, you must have the X64 (64-Bit) Virtual COM port (VCP) driver installed on your PC. See https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ to download the driver.
Note:
Alternately, you can use the USB cable to connect to the mini-USB console port on the device. To use the mini-USB console port, you must download the USB driver from the following page and install the driver on the management device:

https://www.juniper.net/support/downloads/junos.html
Use any terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal to connect to the device console. The CLI displays a login prompt.
Log in as root. If the software completes booting before you connect to the console, you might need to press the Enter key for the prompt to appear.
```
login: root
```
Start the CLI.
```
root@:~ # cli
root@>
```
Enter configuration mode.
```
root@> configure
[edit]
root@# 
```

Change the password for the root administration user account.

Establishing the Connection

Connect the device to the ISP by connecting one of the WAN ports (0/8 and 0/15) to the ISP. The device is assigned an IP address by the ISP through DHCP.

Note:
For information about NFX350 interfaces, see Table 2.
Connect the laptop to one of the front panel LAN ports (0/0 to 0/7). The laptop is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server running on the device.
Open a browser window on your laptop, navigate to https://www.juniper.net, and verify your connectivity.
