Compatible Systems 900i Manuale Utente

You may select either dial-on-demand, always up (i.e., redial if down), 
or leased line operation.  This interface may also be set to receive ISDN 
or switched-56 incoming calls.

To connect a device, first make sure that both units are powered off.  
Then, simply connect the supplied RS-232 cable between the router and 
the device.

v Note:  The MicroRouter 900i RS-232 interfaces require that your 
asynchronous line communications device be set to supply the RS-232 
DCD signal when a connection has been made.  A synchronous RS-232 
device should be set to provide DSR.

v Note:  The MicroRouter 900i includes a special cable to facilitate 
connections to RS-232 line communications devices.  This cable 
includes support for several asynchronous and synchronous control 
signals.  Off-the-shelf cables generally do not support these signals.

If you wish to connect an out-of-band management console, use the 
supplied cable and connect to the Console interface on the back of the 
MicroRouter 900i.  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, no Flow Control.

Power up any modem, CSU/DSU, or TA before powering up the router.  
This allows the router to immediately sense whether its secondary inter-
face is connected.  The exception to this rule is when connecting an 
RS232 interface to a CSU/DSU.  In such a case, you must power up the 
router before powering up  the CSU/DSU.   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 using an out-of-band 
console, or reconfigure the IP address on an IP host or workstation on 
the same Ethernet segment as the router.  See Chapter 5 - Command 
Line Management for more information.
