Installation Manual

4. Before you apply power to the router, connect all LAN and WAN

links to the router. Verify the LAN cabling and that the WAN link

terminating equipment is operational. Your WAN link service

provider can verify that the WAN link is operating correctly.

Note

Configuring from Quick Remote or a Bootp server requires that the

supporting WAN and/or LAN links be connected before the router boots

from the factory default.

5. Use a console as described in this chapter to verify and configure the

router. The console must be an ANSI or VT100 terminal or a PC

running an ANSI or VT100 terminal emulator. You also need either a

cable or a modem and a modem cable for connecting the console.

(Refer to appendixes A and B.)

Console Note Connecting a console to the router’s console port is optional if the router

will be configured and administered from a remote site. That is, if the

router will be automatically configured using Quick Remote or a Bootp

server, then a remote operator can verify and administer the router over

the network.
