Compatible Systems 2200R Connecting an Out-of-Band Management Console

Chapter3 - Network Installation 11

Thisinterface -- WAN 1 -- can be used to connect to synchronousor

asynchronousline communications devices at rates up to 256Kbps

(sync),or 230.4 Kbps (async). Examples include modems, leased or

switched 56KCS U/DSUs, and ISDN TerminalAdapters.

Note: Ifconnecting to a synchronous device such as a CSU/DSU,

therouter must first beco nfiguredfor synchronous operation before

connectingto the device. See Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide

forconfiguration information.

Youmay select either dial-on-demand, always up (i.e., redial if down),

orleased line operation. This interface may also be set to receive ISDN

or switched-56 incoming calls.

Toconnect a device, first make sure that both units are powered off.

Then,simply connect the supplied RS-232 cable between the router and

thedevice.

Note:The Mic roRouter 2200R RS-232 interfaces require that your

asynchronousline communications device be set to supply the RS-232

DCDsignal when a connection has been made. A synchronous RS-232

deviceshould be set to provide DSR.

Note:The MicroRouter 2200R includes a special cable to facilitate

connectionsto RS-232 line communications devices. This cable

includessupport for several asynchronous and synchronous control

signals. Off-the-shelfcables generally do nots upport these signals.

Connecting an Out-of-Band ManagementConsole

Ifyou wish to connect an out-of-band management console, use the

suppliedcabl e and connect to the Console interface on the back of the

MicroRouter2200R. You can use a dumb terminal or a computer

equippedwith VT100 terminal emulation.
