ZyXEL Communications 480 manual Prestige Network Commander, Connecting the Isdn lines

Prestige 480 Dual BRI ISDN Router

Step 1. Connecting the ISDN lines

Connect the Prestige to the ISDN network using the included ISDN (black) cable. Plug one end of the cable into the port labeled ISDN BRI and the other to the ISDN wall jack.

Step 2. Connecting Ethernet to your Prestige

Use a Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable and RJ -45 connectors that look like a bigger telephone plug with eight pins to connect your Prestige to a 10/100M LAN.

Warning: Please verify the correct cable before connecting. If one of these cables is accidentally used to connect your Prestige to the ISDN lines, it may damage your Prestige.

Step 3. Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige

Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.

Step 4. Connecting the Console Port

For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use a terminal emulator software on a workstation and connect it to the Prestige through the console port . Connect the 9-pin (smaller) end of the console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin (bigger) end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your workstation. You can use an extension RS -232 cable if the enclosed one is too short.

After the initial setup, you can also modify the configuration remotely through telnet connections. See the chapter Telnet Configuration and Capabilities for detailed instructions on using telnet to configure your Prestige.
