Procedure 127

Installing the RM356 Modem Router

1Place the Modem Router at a conveniently visible and physically secure

location near an AC power outlet, an analog telephone line, and a

10BaseT Ethernet cable.

Up to four hosts or hubs can be connected to the integrated 10BaseT hub

in the rear of the RM356 Modem Router.

2Use shielded CAT5 10BaseT Ethernet cables to connect the Modem

Router to the ELAN switch. Other IP-enabled Nortel products on the

ELAN can be connected to the RM356 Modem Router, including the

Meridian 1, CS 1000M, CS 1000, a local Optivity Telephone Manager

(OTM) 2.2 PC, Symposium Call Center Server, and CallPilot.

Note: The up-link connection to an additional ELAN hub or optional

gateway on the customer’s enterprise network requires either a

cross-over 10BaseT Ethernet cable or a special up-link port on the

10BaseT hub to which the RM356 is connected.

3Connect the Modem Router to the AC power source. The power LED

lights. After several seconds, the test LED flashes slowly four times, then

stays off.

For each of the four 10BaseT ports on the integrated hub, there is a

link/data LED that lights steadily to indicate a good link connection (if a

cable is connected to a host or hub) or is flashing to indicate data received

on the LAN.

4Connect the RJ-45 plug end of the local manager cable to the RS-232

Manager port RJ-45 jack on the rear of the Modem Router.

5Connect the other end of the manager cable to an RS-232 terminal or PC

COM port configured for the following communication parameters:

• 9600 baud

• 8 bits

• no parity bit

• 1 stop bit
