Connecting the DS3-10/100 to the Ethernet
If your twisted-pair hub is already in place, you can connect the router to an active network
without interrupting network activity. Before connecting the router to twisted-pair cabling you
need an unshielded twisted-pair cable that is already connected to your 10BaseT-compatible or
100BaseTx-compatible twisted-pair hub.

To connect the router to the twisted-pair network, simply plug the twisted-pair cable into the
RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the front of the unit.

Connecting the DS3-10/100 to a DS3 Line
The DS3 line port consists of two 75 ohm BNC female coaxial connectors labeled DS3 XMT
and DS3 RCV. To connect the router to the DS3 line, you need two AT&T type 734A or equiv-
alent coaxial cables.

Install one cable between the router’s DS3 XMT connector and the RCV connector on the DS3
transmission equipment. Install the other cable between the router’s DS3 RCV connector and
the XMT connector on the DS3 transmission equipment.

Connecting a Management Console
If you wish to connect an out-of-band management console, use the supplied cable and connect
to the Console interface on the DS3-10/100 RIOP. You can use a dumb terminal or a computer
equipped with VT100 terminal emulation.
to the Console interface on the DS3-10/100 RIOP. You can use a dumb terminal or a computer
equipped with VT100 terminal emulation.
The default settings for the Console interface are VT100 terminal emulation, 9600 bps, 8 bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Control.

Powering Up the Router
Connect the supplied power cord to the front of the VSR and set the power switch to “On.” At
power-up, the router will take approximately one minute to become visible to CompatiView.

v Note: If you want to use telnet as a management method, you must first configure an IP
address into the router with either an out-of-band console, CompatiView, or with a recon-
figured IP host or workstation on the same Ethernet segment as the router. See the appropriate
VSR chassis section of the manual for more information on Command Line Management.
