Installation

This product is a flexible Ethernet Bridge/Router that may be configured to service Local

Area Networks and Wide Area Network connections over leased lines, ISDN circuits, and

frame relay permanent virtual circuits. The router supports two independent LANs plus one

WAN interface or a single LAN plus two WAN interface modules (if two ISDN BRI

modules are installed, this will provide 4 WAN links)

PPP ISDN units provide bridging, IP/IPX routing, and compression over a PPP ISDN

connection and support an ISDN BRI interface via an integral ISDN-ST or ISDN-U link

module. The ISDN BRI interface supports two 64 Kbps B-channels.

PPP Lease line units provide bridging, IP/IPX routing, and compression and support one

or two physical wide area network (WAN) links that may operate at speeds up to 2.048

Mbps.

Frame Relay units provide bridging and IP/IPX routing and support 1 to 128 Permanent

Virtual Circuit (PVC) across two physical wide area links running RAW 1490 or

encapsulated PPP.

The following instructions provide a quick set-up guide for installation of the router:

Unpack the Router

Rough handling during shipment can damage electronic equipment. As you unpack the

bridge/router, carefully check for signs of damage. If damage is suspected, contact the

shipper. Save the box and all packing material to protect the bridge/router should it ever

need to be moved or returned for service.

Check the packing slip that identifies the components and the LAN connector.

Select a Site

Place the bridge/router in a well ventilated area. The site should maintain normal office

temperature and humidity levels. Air vents located on the sides of the bridge/router must

have approximately one inch / 2.5 centimeters of clearance from any object.
