Chapter 3 - Network Installation

Connecting the Router to the Ethernet

If your twisted-pair hub is already in place, you can connect the router to an active network without interrupting network activity. The router must be powered off.

Connecting to Twisted-Pair Ethernet

Before connecting the router to twisted-pair cabling you need an unshielded twisted-pair cable that is already connected to your 10BaseT-compatible twisted-pair hub.

To connect the router to the twisted-pair network, simply plug the twisted-pair cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the back of the unit.

Connecting the Router to a T1 Line

To connect the router to the T1 line, you need a four wire jumper cable that is already connected to the RJ-45 jack which was installed by your telephone company. The router must be powered off. Simply plug the jumper cable into the RJ-45 WAN 0 connector on the back of the MicroRouter 1270i.

Connecting a Line Device to the Secondary Port

The MicroRouter 1270i supports lower speed synchronous/asynchro- nous operation over a secondary RS-232 connector (WAN 1). This port independently supports the PPP and Frame Relay link protocols.

Connecting Devices to the RS-232C Interface

This interface -- WAN 1 -- can be used to connect to synchronous or asynchronous line communications devices at rates up to 256Kbps (sync), or 230.4 Kbps (async). Examples include modems, leased or switched 56K CSU/DSU’s, and ISDN Terminal Adapters.

Note: If connecting to a synchronous device such as a CSU/DSU, Lthe router must first be configured for synchronous operation before connecting to the device. See Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide for configuration information.

You may select either dial-on-demand, always up (i.e., redial if down), or leased line operation. This interface may also be set to receive ISDN or switched-56 incoming calls.

To connect a device, first make sure that both units are powered off. Then, simply connect the supplied RS-232 cable between the router and the device.
