Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide

This chapter briefly explains the major parameters that must be set in order to use the router.

Detailed information on the meaning of the router’s parameters is provided in the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide. You should use this list as a starting point to look up more specific information in the other documents.

If you need more general information on IP, IPX, AppleTalk, DECnet, or wide area protocols, see the Appendices in the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide.

There are a number of parameter settings which are optional, in the sense that they are not required for all installations. These settings are not covered in this chapter.

In this chapter:

CV = CompatiView

TB = Text-Based Configuration

In order to successfully connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), you must use router configuration parameters which will be provided by the technical staff of the ISP. These parameters must include all IP addresses, WAN settings, and any applicable authorization routines. Please check with your ISP before configuring or changing the configu- ration of your MicroRouter 2200R.

Note: This Basic Configuration Guide does not include information von setting up packet filters for using the router as a Firewall. See the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide or Text-Based

Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide regarding IP packet filters for more information.
