Powering Up the Router

Power up any modem, CSU/DSU, or TA before powering up the router. This allows the router to immediately sense whether its secondary inter- face is connected. The exception to this rule is when connecting an RS232 interface to a CSU/DSU. In such a case, you must power up the router before powering up the CSU/DSU. At power-up, the router will take approximately one minute to become visible to CompatiView.

Note: If you want to use Telnet as a management method, you must vfirst configure an IP address into the router using an out-of-band console, or reconfigure the IP address on an IP host or workstation on the same Ethernet segment as the router. See Chapter 5 - Command Line Management for more information.
