Using This Manual
This Installation and Applications Guide provides the basic information
required to initially set up and configure the P850 router. This guide is
organized into the following sections:
“Installation” provides instructions for installing the P850 router.
“Typical Applications & How to Configure Them” provides
simple configuration examples for typical applications in which the
P850 router might be used. The applications described in this
document are for example only and provide a method of quick
configuration of the P850 router. For more complete information on
all of the configuration parameters available, please refer to the PPP
Menu Reference Manual on the accompanying CD-ROM.
“Introduction to Filtering” provides an introduction to the pattern
filtering options of the P850 router. Several examples of typical
pattern filters are also provided.
”Menu Trees” provides a graphical tree type overview of the
structure of the built-in menu system of the P850 router. All of the
configuration is performed using the options provided in the menu
system. The Menu Tree is like an index to the menu options.
“Configuration Pages” provides a place to note the current
configuration of the P850 router for future reference. If a replacement
unit is required, the configuration may be quickly modified to be the
same as the existing unit.
“Octet Locations on Ethernet Frames” provides a graphical
representation of the various common Ethernet frames that the P850
router will bridge or route. When defining a pattern filter, these frame
displays indicate the offset values to use in order to define the pattern
filter correctly.
“Servicing Information” provides information on opening the case
and changing the straps.
