1. Mount the PCAN-Router DR at the appropriate position on
the DIN rail by hanging it in at the top of the rail and
snapping it to the bottom.
2. Connect each of the two CAN ports with the corresponding
CAN network.
3. If the bit rate is different from the default 500 kbit/s, set the
bit rate with the rotary switch (see section 3.3 on page 11).
