Compatible Systems 900i User Manual

This chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in 
order to use the router.

Detailed information on the meaning of the router’s parameters is 
provided in the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide 
and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management 
Reference Guide.  You should use this list as a starting point to look up 
more specific information in the other documents.  

If you need more general information on IP or wide area protocols, see 
the Appendices in the CompatiView Management Software Reference 
Guide.

There are a number of parameter settings which are optional, in the 
sense that they are not required for all installations.  These settings are 
not covered in this chapter.

In this chapter:

CV = CompatiView

TB = Text-Based Configuration

In order to successfully connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), 
you must use router configuration parameters which will be provided by 
the technical staff of the ISP.  These parameters must include all IP 
addresses, WAN settings, and any applicable authorization routines.  
Please check with your ISP before configuring or changing the configu-
ration of your MicroRouter 900i.

Ethernet interfaces are considerably easier to set up than wide area 
interfaces since there are fewer choices that need to be made regarding 
communications protocols and parameters. We recommend that you 
begin by configuring any Ethernet interface parameters before 
proceeding to configure WAN interface parameters.
