Required Tools and Parts
The router installation requires some tools and parts that are not provided as
standard equipment with the router. Following are the tools and parts required
to install the router:
■ Flat-blade screwdrivers: small, 3/16-inch (0.476 cm) and medium, 1/4-inch
(0.625 cm); or Torx-10
■ ESD-preventive wrist strap
■ A cable for each LAN and WAN interface
In addition, you might need the following external equipment:
■ CSU/DSU (Channel Service Unit / Data Service Unit)
■ NT1 device for ISDN BRI WAN connections, if not supplied by your service
provider. (In Europe, it is already incorporated.)
■ Console terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation
software) configured for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits.
A terminal is required unless you are using the AutoInstall procedure. See
the section “Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem” later in this
chapter for instructions on connecting a console terminal.
■ Modem for remote access (optional)
Preparing to Connect to a Network
When setting up your router, consider distance limitations and potential
electromagnetic interference (EMI) as defined by the EIA.
WARNING
The serial, console, and auxiliary ports contain safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) circuits. BRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage
(TNV) circuits. Avoid connecting SELV circuits to TNV circuits.
