Page 12: What You Will Need To Get Started
Warranty Registration card Needed For Installation Before connecting the MicroRouter 1270i to your network, you need to make sure that you have the necessary equipment for connecting to the local Ethernet(s) and the fractional or full T1 line, and/or a wide area transmission device (modem, 56K CSU/DSU, ISDN Terminal Adapter). -
Page 13: Ethernet Connection Requirements
Ethernet cabling supplies. T1 Line Connection Requirements The MicroRouter 1270i includes an integrated fractional or full T1 CSU/DSU. To connect this interface to a T1 line, you will need an RJ-45 jumper cable. A straight-through Category 5 10BaseT jumper cable will work in this application. -
Page 14: Rs-232 Interface
Chapter 2 - Getting Started The MicroRouter 1270i secondary port is an RS-232 sync/async inter- face. The RS-232 interface is capable of communicating to another router or a PPP client machine over a modem, 56K CSU/DSU, or ISDN Terminal Adapter. -
