Compatible Systems 900i manual Connecting the Router to the Ethernet

10 Chapter 3 - Network Installation

For wall mounting, follow the instructions included with the wall-mount bracket kit.

Connecting the Router to the Ethernet

For thick or thin Ethernet networks, you should have installed your Ethernet cabling before you install the MicroRouter 900i.

If you are installing a twisted-pair connection, and the twisted-pair hub is already in place, you can connect the router to an active network without interrupting network activity.

Connecting to Thick Ethernet

To connect the router to a thick Ethernet network, simply plug one end of a transceiver cable into the DB-15 transceiver connector located on the back panel of the unit. Then, plug the other end of the transceiver cable into the transceiver which should already be attached to the thick Ethernet cable.

Connecting to Thin Ethernet

In order to connect the router to a thin Ethernet cable, connect a T-connector to the BNC connector located on the rear panel of the unit.

Connecting to Twisted-Pair Ethernet

Before connecting the router to twisted-pair cabling you need an unshielded twisted-pair cable that is already connected to your 10BaseT-compatible twisted-pair hub.

To connect the router to the twisted-pair network, simply plug the twisted-pair cable into the RJ-45 connector on the back of the unit.

Connecting a Line Device to the MicroRouter 900i

The MicroRouter 900i supports high-speed synchronous or asynchro- nous operation over one RS-232 connector.

The MicroRouter 900i supports both PPP and Frame Relay link proto- cols on this WAN port.

Connecting Devices to the RS-232C Port

This interface can be used to connect to synchronous or asynchronous line communications devices at rates up to 256Kbps (sync), or 230.4 Kbps (async). Examples include modems, leased or switched 56K CSU/DSUs, and ISDN terminal adapters.

ϖNote: If connecting to a synchronous device such as a CSU/DSU, the
