This section of the manual describes how to connect the MicroRouter 2250R to your Ethernet network and your wide area communications device(s). In summary, the steps for installation are:

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

2.Connect the router to the Ethernet network(s).

3.Connect the router to the T1 line.

4.Connect the router’s secondary port to a wide area line communica- tions device (if used).

5.Power up the line communications device (if used).

Note: You should either wait to connect a synchronous line device vsuch 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 cable and power up the router.

Placing the Router

The MicroRouter 2250R is meant to be left stand-alone on a desktop or equipment table.

Note: When stacking other equipment on the MicroRouter 2250R, vdo not exceed 25 pounds of evenly distributed weight on top of the router. Additional weight may bend the case.
