Identify the Connectors

The router is configured with a 10/100BaseT LAN and either one or two optional interface

modules. The optional modules may be a second LAN (10 BaseT), a second LAN plus one

WAN module, a single WAN module or two WAN modules.

Important:

If a second LAN module is installed, it must be in the slot 1 (leftmost position
when viewed from the rear of the unit) to operate. In addition, if only one
optional interface module is installed, it must be in slot 1

Each interface may be changed by simply removing the existing module and installing a new

module. Refer to Appendix D: Servicing Information for information on replacing modules.

Connect to the Console

Connection to the bridge/router operator’s console is made through the DB25 connector

labeled CONSOLE on the back of the bridge/router.

Connect the console port of the Router to a computer running an asynchronous

communication package or a standard asynchronous terminal. The bridge/router supports

autobaud rates at 1200, 2400, 9600, 19,200, 38,400 or 57,600 bps. Both the bridge/router

and the bridged network are configured through the use of “hotkey” Menus.
