Rack Mounting

The DI-1162/DI-1162M may stand alone or be mounted on a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack mounting produces an orderly installation when you have a number of related network devices. Use the six supplied screws to fasten the supplied mounting brackets to either end of the router, then fasten the router into the rack.

Installation and Initial Configuration of the Router

This section discusses the different connections that can be made to the router when setting it up.

Initially, you will only wish to connect the console to the router in order to configure the other ports. Once that is complete, you will need to turn off the power to the router and plug in the connection cables to the other devices. Next, power on the other devices. When they have finished powering up, power on the router. Each of these steps is described in detail in the sections below. Please skip any setting adjustments that do not apply to your configuration needs.

A Warning about Connecting Cables

It is important that correct cables are used for each connection; otherwise, the router could be damaged.

Before connecting or disconnecting an RS-232 cable between the DI-1162/DI-1162M and the console and modems, please make sure all devices are off to avoid any chance of damage.
