A Warning On Connection Cables

ISDN and Ethernet cables are very similar to each other. It is
important that you use the correct cable for each connection;
otherwise, your router could be damaged.
Before connecting or disconnecting an RS-232 cable between two
devices, turn both devices off to avoid any chance of damaging
them.

Mounting the Router

The router can be placed on a desktop or mounted on a wall,
depending on your needs. Two mounting holes are provided on the
bottom of the unit for wall mounting. The recommended mounting
position is with the cable jacks facing sideways or downward to
help keep dust off the contacts.
Regardless of how you mount the router, make sure its cable jacks
are accessible, its LED indicators are visible, and its ventilation
holes are never blocked.

Connecting Your Computer and Your DI-106 or DI-106M

For initial setup of your DI-106 or DI-106M, you must use an
RS-232 connection, either to a computer running serial
communications software or to a serial data terminal.
After the router has been successfully installed, you can modify the
configuration through a remote Telnet connection. See the chapter
