TW-H6W1IR ISDN Remote Router For the initial configuration of your TW-H6W1IR, you must use an RS-232 console connection, either to a computer running serial communications software or to a serial data terminal. After the router has been successfully installed and the initial configuration is complete, you can continue to modify settings through the console, or you can change configuration settings through a remote Telnet connection or through a web browser. See the chapters entitled Configuration and Management and Using Telnet for detailed instructions on using Telnet to configure your TW-H6W1IR. A Warning on Connection Cables ISDN and Ethernet cables are very similar to each other. It is important that you use the correct cable for each connection; otherwise, your router could be damaged. Before connecting or disconnecting an RS-232 cable between two devices, turn both devices off to avoid any chance of damaging them. Step 1 - Setting up the Console The initial setup of the TW-H6W1IR, requires connecting a console to the 9-pin RS-232 Diagnostic port on the router's rear panel. A serial cable is supplied with the router in order to make this connection. A console can be a terminal, such as a VT-100, or a normal PC running terminal emulation software (such as Microsoft HyperTerminal, included with Windows). The terminal emulation software needs to be configured to the following parameters: ?? VT100 terminal emulation Installation 15
