Installation

Phase 2: Prepare the Network

4.Before you apply power to the router, connect all LAN and WAN links to the router. Verify the LAN cabling and that the WAN link terminating equipment is operational. Your WAN link service provider can verify that the WAN link is operating correctly.

Configuring from Quick Remote or a Bootp server requires that the supporting WAN and/or LAN links be connected before the router boots from the factory default.

5.Use a console as described in this chapter to verify and configure the router. The console must be an ANSI or VT100 terminal or a PC running an ANSI or VT100 terminal emulator. You also need either a cable or a modem and a modem cable for connecting the console. (Refer to appendixes A and B.)

Connecting a console to the router’s console port is optional if the router will be configured and administered from a remote site. That is, if the router will be automatically configured using Quick Remote or a Bootp server, then a remote operator can verify and administer the router over the network.
