Installing the Router

To connect to the Fibre Channel port:

1Be sure the router is turned off.

2Insert the GBIC into the Fibre Channel port.

See Figure 2-9 on page 2-7. The GBIC is keyed and can only go in one way. Be sure that the GBIC locks into place.

3Connect one end of the Fibre Channel cable to the GBIC.

4Connect the other end of the Fibre Channel cable to a server’s HBA or to an arbitrated loop hub or fabric switch.

Connecting to the RS-232 Port

You use the RS-232 port to update the firmware, configure, and monitor the router using a VT-100/ANSI computer with a terminal emulator. For more information about the configuration and management capabilities, see Chapter 3, Configuring the Router.

You must use the RS-232 cable that came with the router or one configured like it. The RS-232 cable is a standard 6-conductor flatline cable with an RJ-12 to DB-9 adapter. The DB-9 pinout is as follows:

Table 2-10. DB-9 pinout

Pin Function

2Transmit

3Receive

5 Ground

The RJ-12 pinout is transparent.

Configure the RS-232 port in your terminal emulator software using the following settings:

✁Baud rate: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200; 115200 best for downloading firmware upgrades

✁Data Bits: 8

✁Stop Bits: 1

✁Parity: None

✁Flow Control: None

To connect to the RS-232 port:

1Be sure the router is turned off.

2Using the RS-232 cable that came with the router, connect the RJ-12 end of the cable into the RS-232 serial port on the router.

See Figure 2-9 on page 2-7.
