DI-1162 Remote Access Router

Installation

This chapter details installation procedures for the DI-1162 router.

Overview

The DI-1162 can be configured in two ways; through a direct serial connection (a console), or remotely, through the included Router Configuration Utility, Telnet, etc. Please note that if you wish to remotely configure the router, you must still use a console to initially configure the LAN or WAN port for a remote connection.

In general, the installation procedures are as follows:

1.Physically install the router into an equipment rack or onto a desktop.

2.Configure the router through a console.

3.Power off the router and console.

4.Plug in all cables and connectors (LAN, WAN, etc.).

5.Power on all devices.

Each of the above items is discussed in detail below.

Note: Your LAN does not need to be powered down when making a LAN connection to the router via the RJ-45 port. However, when connecting devices to the WAN or Diagnostic (console) ports please make sure the router and the other devices are turned off before making the connection.
