Examples include modems, leased or switched CSU/DSU’s, and ISDN terminal adapters.

You may select either dial-on demand, redial if down (“always up” mode), or leased line operation. These ports may also be set to receive ISDN or switched-56 incoming calls.

To connect a device, first make sure that both units are powered off. Then, simply connect one of the supplied RS-232 data cables (not an auxiliary port cable) between the router and the device.

vNote: The BR Router RS-232 port requires that your line communications device be set to supply the RS-232 DCD signal when a connection has been established with the remote end.

vNote: The BR Router includes a special data cable to facilitate connections to RS-232 line communications devices. This cable includes support for several asynchronous and synchronous control signals. Off-the-shelf Sun or Macintosh- type cables do not support these signals.

Connecting an Out-of-Band Management Console

If you wish to connect an out-of-band management console, use the supplied auxiliary cable and connect to the AUX port on the back of the BR Router. You can use a dumb terminal or a computer equipped with VT100 terminal emulation.

The default baud rate for the AUX port is 9600.

Powering Up the Router

Power up all modems, CSU/DSU’s, and TA’s before powering up the router. This allows the router to immediately sense the connected device. At power-up, the router will take approximately one minute to become visible to RouterView.

vNote: If you want to use Telnet as a management method, you must configure an IP address into the router using an out-of-band console or RouterView before you will be able to contact the router.
