Hardware Installation
This chapter discusses the various connections you will need to make in order to use the Router.
When selecting the location for the Router, allow room to access the connections on the rear panel. You will
want to place the Router so that you will be able to see the LED indicators on the front panel. Also allow some
space above the Router for ventilation to avoid problems with overheating.
It may be convenient for you locate the Router near the PC you intend to use for initial configuration of the
Router. For initial configuration of the device you may need convenient access to the RS-232 serial port on the
rear panel. The RS-232 serial port is intended for use with text-based console management software for the
initial configuration and for out-of-band management of the Router. Whether it is necessary to use an RS-232
console manager for first time set up depends on how you allocate IP addresses on your network. Read Chapter

First Time Set Up
to help you decide how best to use the Router on your network.
Connect the Power
Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and plug the
adapter into a nearby power source. You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit.
Connect ADSL Line
Use the twisted-pair ADSL cable (standard telephone cable) included with the Router to connect it to your
telephone line. Simply plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the
Router and insert the other end into the wall jack. The ADSL connection is the WAN interface. It links the
Router to the network service provider’s backbone infrastructure. This is the Router’s access point to the
Internet.
The Router must undergo a negotiation process to establish the terms of the ADSL connection. During this
negotiation the Status LED will light a steady green, after which it will blink. If the ADSL line is disconnected, it
will repeat this process.
