Compatible Systems V.35 Manuale Utente

Octal V.35-10/100 RIOP Front Panel

This section of the manual will help you install the Octal V.35-10/100 RIOP to connect a local 
Ethernet and up to eight remote corporate networks.  These connections can be made to other 
Compatible Systems devices or internetworking equipment from other vendors.

In summary, the steps for installation are:

1.

After mounting the router or placing it on a desktop, make sure it is not connected to 
any power source.

2.

Connect the router to the Ethernet network.

3.  Connect the router to the wide area communications device(s).

4.

Connect a management console to the router (optional).

5.

Power up the communications device(s).

6.

Plug in the power cable and power up the router.

The 10/100 Ethernet interface directly supports 100BaseTx or 10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet.  
To connect the router’s Ethernet interface to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, you will need an 
unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is already connected to a 10BaseT-compatible 
twisted-pair hub (for a transmit speed of 10 Mbps) or a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hub (for a 
transmit speed of 100 Mbps).

v Note: Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the Octal V.35-10/100 
RIOP product.  Category 5 cabling is required for 100 BaseT operation.  Please contact your 
reseller or your Compatible Systems representative for information on obtaining the correct 
Ethernet cabling supplies.

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.
