5.1. Preparing Before Installation

The major functions of the Router Card are performed by the Ethernet network interface. Your

computer must have an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed and set up with the

TCP/IP protocol before beginning to use the router. The router also provides a serial console port

for monitoring and configuring the router via the built-in command line interface.

You will need to know the Internet Protocol supported by your T1/E1 provider to successfully

connect to the Internet. For future troubleshooting or reinstallation, it is important that you retain

these details.

Before beginning the hardware installation, please gather the following materials for the setup.

 At least one computer running a supported *operating system, with an Ethernet Network

Interface Card (NIC) installed (or more computers if you use an external hub).

 RS-232 serial cable (Optional)
