Power Up the Router

Once the LAN and Link connections are made and the console is

connected to a terminal, you are ready to power-up the P850 router.

Connect the DC power cord from the supplied power supply to the

back of the P850 router and plug the power supply into the AC wall

outlet.
Observe the LEDs as the router powers up. The LEDs will go

through a flashing pattern as the power-up diagnostics are performed.

After the power-up diagnostics are finished, the Power LED will go

from red to green.
The console will also display testing and initialization messages as it

performs these tasks (if this is the first time the router has been

powered up on this console, the display may be unreadable until the

next step is performed).
Enter at least one [RETURN] (up to three if necessary) in order for the

router to determine the baud rate of the terminal used for the console

(i.e., autobaud). The following information will now be seen on the

console connected to the router :

Terminals supported:

ansi, avt, ibm3101, qvt109, qvt102, qvt119, tvi925,
tvi950, vt52, vt100, wyse-50, wyse-vp, teletype

Enter terminal type:

Select the terminal type being used if listed and enter its name (in lower

case) at the prompt, or choose the terminal type teletype if your

terminal is not listed. This terminal type operates in scroll mode and

may be used successfully until a custom terminal definition is created.

Login and Enter the Required Configuration

At the login screen type a 1 and the default password to enter the menu

system of the P850 router. The default password is BRIDGE (case

sensitive) and should be changed if security is desired.
With the options of the built-in menu system, the P850 may be

configured to operate within your environment.
Refer to the P850 PPP Menus Reference Manual file on the

accompanying CD-ROM for a complete description of all the Menu

Options.
