2. Connect the RouteFinder Command Port to your PC using the short RJ-45 to DB25 (female)
cable provided with your unit.
Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into the Command Port on the RouteFinder. Plug the other end
into a COM port on the PC. See Figure 2-4.
3. Connect an RJ-45 (UTP) cable to the 10BaseT connector on the back panel or a BNC (thin
coaxial cable) connector to the 10Base2 connector.
4. Connect an RS-232C/D or V.35 interface cable to the back panel RS-232/V.35 connector as
shown in Figure 2-4. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate connector on the
external link device (WAN connection).
5. Connect one end of the power supply to a live AC outlet, then connect the other end to the
POWER connector on the RouteFinder as shown in Figure 2-4. The power connector is a 6-pin
circular DIN connector.
6. Turn on power to the RouteFinder by setting the ON/OFF switch on the back panel to the ON
position. At this time your RouteFinder is completely cabled and powered On. Proceed to Chapter
3 to load the RouteFinder software.
