Hardware Installation

 

This chapter provides instructions on how to install and connect the Model RT328 ISDN Router 
to a PC for operation and configuration.

 

Connecting the Router

 

Even if your Model RT328 router is to be installed in a predominately Macintosh or UNIX 
environment, you can connect it to a PC and configure it using FirstGear, as described in 

Chapter 3, “Configuring the Router Using FirstGear

.” After your router is configured, you can 

then connect it back into your UNIX or Macintosh environment.

Follow the diagram in 

Figure 2-1
