MicroRouter 1220i Installation Overview
This manual will help you install the MicroRouter 1220i to connect two
local Ethernets to 1 or 2 remote networks and/or remote PPP client
computers. These connections can be made to other Compatible
Systems routers, routers from other vendors, or PPP compliant dial-in
software packages running on a variety of computers. The wide-area
interfaces on the MicroRouter 1220i may be used to interconnect your
network with other corporate networks, and to make your network’s
resources available to dial-in clients.
In short, the installation steps are:
1. Install the MicroRouter hardware and connect it to one or more
line communication devices (including modems, 56K CSU/DSUs,
ISDN Terminal Adapters, and fractional or full T1 CSU/DSUs).
2. Select the management method you wish to use with the router. If
you want to use the CompatiView management software, you must
install the software on a Windows PC which is connected to your
network.
3. Configure the MicroRouter LAN and WAN parameters using the
management method you have chosen.
4. Connect the secondary WAN port’s RS-232 to an external line
communication device (including modems, 56K CSU/DSUs, and
ISDN Terminal Adapters).
The manual is divided into several sections that should provide you
