Powering on the

Router

Checking and Operating after Power-on

Before you power on the router, verify that:

■The connection between the power cord and ground wire is secure

■The voltage of the power supply complies with the requirement of the router

■The console cable is correctly connected to either the PC or the terminal, and that the parameters are correct.

Before switching on the power, locate the power-off switch in the workroom so that, in case of an electrical accident, power can be turned off quickly.

Turn on the power switch of the router.

After the router is powered on, verify that:

■The LEDs on the front panel are normal.

During the power-on self-test (POST), the memory test is successful if the LEDs light in the following sequence:

1.SLOT0 to 2 and SERIAL0

2.SLOT1 and 2

If SLOT0 and 1 LEDs light, the memory test failed.

For the status of the LEDs during normal operation after power-on, see the LED tables in Chapter 1.

■The console terminal display is normal

For the local configuration, the startup interface on the console terminal displays after the router is powered on.

For the remote configuration, you must dial up, using HyperTerminal, after the router is powered on, as shown. After the dial-up, the startup interface is displayed on the terminal.
