Preface
The Passport
 Advanced Remote Node
 (ARN
) router is part of the Nortel 
Networks
® 
line of communications products. The ARN provides two WAN 
adapter slots to support a broad array of primary and backup connectivity options. 
In addition, the ARN supports up to two LAN and five serial interfaces.
This guide describes installing, starting, and operating an ARN router.
Before You Begin
Before installing the ARN, ensure that all network wiring has been installed on 
the premises using standard cable-system practices.
Before turning on the ARN for the first time, contact your network administrator 
to determine which software configuration option to use.
