Reference Guide for the Model RT210/RT211 ISDN Routers
2-4 Installing and Connecting

Network Checklist

Networks connected through the router must be properly configured. The Model RT210 and
Model RT211 routers route through TCP/IP protocol only.
The TCP/IP configuration requirements are:
• All of your host devices must have established IP addresses.
These addresses are usually provided by your network administrator or Internet provider.
• An IP address must be assigned to your router.
The address is usually provided by your network administrator or Internet provider.
• Your router definition must be set.
If any devices are not running either TCP/IP or a compatible protocol, have the router defined
as either the default gateway or as an entry in the static routes table of the device.
• Your network or subnetwork numbers must be different on the local and remote networks you
are routing between.
Installing and Connecting the Router
You can install the NETGEAR Model RT210 and Model RT211 ISDN routers on a flat surface,
such as a tabletop or desktop, or you can mount them on a computer housing or wall using the
Velcro strips.
Rubber feet are provided to install the router on a flat surface. The Velcro pads are provided to
attach the router to the side of your workbench or PC.
To install your router, follow these steps:
1. Unpack your router and verify that all the necessary parts are present (refer to “Package
Contents” earlier in this chapter).
