3.
Snap the cord retainer over the power plug to hold it in place.
DANGER
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the router, make
sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the router.
4.
For information about powering on the system, refer to
“Activating the power source”
on
page 69.
Final steps
Complete these steps in the order listed:
•
“Attaching a management station”
•
“Activating the power source”
•
“Verifying proper operation”
Attaching a management station
You can manage your router in the following ways:
•
Connect a PC or terminal to the console port on the management module. From this port, you
can assign an IP address to the management module and establish connections through
Telnet or SSH.
•
Connect the router to your existing management network and manage the router and other
network devices from a management station.
NOTE
The management network that you connect to through the 10/100 Ethernet port must be
separate and isolated from the network over which user packets are switched and routed. For
information about functionality on the management port, Refer to
“Understanding
management port functions”
on page 95.
Attaching a PC or terminal to the console
port or Ethernet port
You can attach a PC or terminal to either the console port (which has a male DB-9 serial
connector), or the 10/100/1000 or 1000Base TX Ethernet port (which has an RJ45 UTP
connector) on the management module. From the console port, you can access the router CLI
directly from the PC or terminal or through a Telnet connection. From the Ethernet port, you can
access the router CLI or Web management interface directly from the PC or terminal or through a
Telnet connection.
Before performing this task, have the following items available:
•
PC running a terminal emulation application or a terminal.
