900i MicroRouter Back Panel

This section of the manual describes how to connect the MicroRouter 900i to your Ethernet network and your wide area communications device. In summary, the steps for installation are:

1.Make sure the router is powered down and not plugged to any power source.

2.Wall mount the router, if required.

3.Connect the router to the Ethernet network.

4.Connect the router to the wide area line communications device.

5.Power up the line communications device.

ϖNote: You should either wait to connect a synchronous line device such as a CSU/DSU until after the interface has been configured as a synchronous port, or power up the router before powering up the CSU/DSU. (See Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide for more infor- mation on configuring the router.)

6.Plug in the power supply and power up the router.

Mounting the Router

The MicroRouter 900i can be left standalone on a desktop or equipment table, or can be wall mounted.

ϖNote: Wall mounting requires a wall-mount bracket kit (part number A00-0987) from Compatible Systems.
