4.Save the configuration.

Save your configuration to a new file, using the command: create config=filename.cfg

and set the router to load this file when it restarts, using the command: set config=filename.cfg

We recommend leaving the boot.cfg file unchanged, in case you need to revert to the original default configuration.

Connecting Data Cables to AR415S

Connecting the router to your network:

1.Connect to the LAN

If you have not already done so, use straight-through Ethernet patch cables to connect the device(s) on your private network (LAN) to the router’s switch port(s). By default, all switch ports are members of VLAN1.

2.Connect to the WAN.

Caution If you intend to use a firewall, configure it before you activate the WAN link.

Once initial configuration is complete, connect the router to the WAN:

Connect a PIC port to a WAN connection. See the Port Interface Card Quick Install Guide and Hardware Reference.

Use an Ethernet patch cable to connect the router’s Ethernet WAN (ETH0) port to the Ethernet port of a WAN device (such as a modem).
