3–Installation
Installing the iSR6152 Router
3-6 ISR651103-00 C
Installing the Transceivers
The router supports a variety of SFP transceivers.
To install a transceiver, insert the transceiver into the port and gently press
until it snaps in place.
To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release
tension, and then pull the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver.
Different transceiver manufactures have different release mechanisms.
Consult the documentation of your transceiver.
Connecting the Management Workstation to the Router
You can manage the router using Router Manager or the CLI. Router Manager
requires an Ethernet connection to the router. The CLI can use an Ethernet
connection or a serial connection. Choose the router management method, and
then connect the management workstation to the router in one of the following
ways:
Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the router
RJ45 connector through an Ethernet switch or hub. This requires a 10/100
Base-T straight-through cable.
Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the router
RJ45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T crossover cable.
Serial port connection from the management workstation to the router
RS232 serial port connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T straight-through
cable and an RJ45-to-DB9F adapter (included with the router).
Configuring the Management Workstation
The router comes from the factory with a default IP address (10.0.0.1). Prior to
product installation, follow the procedures based on your configuration method:
If you plan to configure the router through the management Ethernet port
(using Router ManagerI or CLI using Telnet), you must initially configure the
workstation as described in “Setting the Workstation IP Address” on
page 3-7.
If you plan to configure the router using the management COM port,
configure the workstation as described in “Configuring the Workstation
Serial Port” on page 3-7.
NOTE:
The transceiver fits only one way. If the transceiver does not install under
gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
