cables, tools, and other equipment that you need.

•
Phillips screwdriver
•
Carpenter’s level
To rack-mount the Passport 2430, you need a Phillips screwdriver to assemble the
shelf unit and attach the shelf unit to an equipment rack.
Cables
Unless they were specifically ordered, the cables necessary for your network
configuration are not part of the Passport 2430 accessory package. If you do not
have the proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the Cable
Guide.
Management Console
Before you boot the Passport 2430 for the first time, you need to attach a terminal
or PC to the Passport 2430 to monitor the results of startup diagnostics and
perform manual boot configurations. If you use a terminal as your management
console, you need a DB-9 to DB-25 adapter to connect the router to the terminal.
After the initial start-up, you can use the PCMCIA modem for remote dial-in
access to the Passport 2430.
