Page 13: Thick Ethernet
Telco Line Connection Requirements The MicroRouter 900i is not a line communications device. In order to connect to a wide area transmission line, you must use a modem, 56K CSU/DSU, or ISDN Terminal Adapter. Which of these devices you use depends on the type of wide area line to which you are connecting. - Page 14 American ISDN Terminal Adapters. v Note: Please use only this cable when connecting your line commu- nication device to the MicroRouter 900i. The cables provided with other equipment do not provide all of the connections required between connector pins for correct hardware handshaking and synchronous...

Windows version. CompatiView for Windows CompatiView for Windows allows you to manage the MicroRouter 900i from an IBM-compatible PC running Windows 95/98 or Windows NT. The PC can either be configured as an IPX client on a Novell NetWare internet, or as an IP WinSock client on an IP internet. -
Page 20: Transport Protocols And Compatiview
Transport Protocols and CompatiView CompatiView will be able to use the transport protocol (IP or IPX) you have selected to access Compatible Systems products anywhere on your internetwork. Depending on your security setup, you may also be able to use the IP transport option to manage devices across the Internet. -

9600, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Con- trol. Connect it to the router’s Console interface using the cable which was supplied with the MicroRouter 900i. Press the <Return> key one or two times. Enter the default password letmein at the password prompt. The command line interface prompt will appear on the screen. -
Page 22: Setting Up Telnet Operation
To manage the router with Telnet, you must: Run Telnet client software on your local computer, which will com- municate with the Telnet server built into the MicroRouter 900i. You must also set some basic IP parameters in the router. The required parameters for Telnet access to an interface are the IP address, IP subnet mask, and IP broadcast address. - Page 23 Chapter 5 - Setting Up Command Line Management using the IP transport protocol), or anywhere on your network (if using the IPX transport protocol). Instructions for these two methods are given in Chapter 4 - CompatiView Software Installation. • With CompatiView, basic IP parameters can be set using the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet 0 Dialog Box.

ISP. These parameters must include all IP addresses, WAN settings, and any applicable authorization routines. Please check with your ISP before configuring or changing the configu- ration of your MicroRouter 900i. Ethernet Interface Configuration Ethernet interfaces are considerably easier to set up than wide area interfaces since there are fewer choices that need to be made regarding communications protocols and parameters. -
Page 26: Ip Protocol
Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide IP Protocol Required for IP These parameters set the basic address characteristics of the interface. They provide enough information for another IP node to find the inter- face (such as a Telnet client), but not enough information for routing to take place. -
