8 AR400 Series Router

Installing the Router in a Rack

1. Gather additional items. You will need:

• the rack-mount kit included in the router package

• a Phillips #1 screwdriver

• screws and cage nuts to attach the brackets to your rack

2. Check the rack.

Ensure that the rack is safely secured and that it will not tip over. Devices in a rack should be installed starting at the bottom, with the heavier devices near the bottom of the rack.

Ensure the rack has sufficient space for the router and its associated cables. The router is 1U high.

3. Unscrew the feet from the router.

4. Connect the handles to the brackets.

Screw the handles to the wider side of each bracket, using the supplied screws.

5. Connect the brackets to the router.

Screw the brackets to the sides of the router, using the supplied screws. The router can be front or rear mounted.

6. Mount the router in the rack.

Use appropriate rack mounting screws (not supplied).

Applying Power to the Router

1. Check the supply voltage and the router’s rated voltage.

The router is fitted with a universal mains power supply that will function over the range 100 VAC to 240 VAC and 50 Hz to 60 Hz.

For continued protection against the risk of fire and shock hazard, replace fuses only with fuses of the same type and rating.

Warning The specific power supply requirements for a particular model are clearly displayed on the rear or underside of the router. If the supply is outside the accepted range for the router, the router may not operate or damage to the router may result.

2. Fit the power cord retaining clip to the AC power inlet on the router’s rear panel.

613-000313 Rev C

Installation and Safety Guide 9

3. Connect the provided power cord to the AC power inlet and clip it in place.

Switch the router’s power switch to the ON position. The Power LED lights continuously and the System LED lights briefly. The Port LEDs also light briefly.

The router is supplied with an approved power cord that incorporates a moulded plug. It must only be used with the power cord supplied.

If the LEDs fail to light, the most likely cause is that the router is not receiving power. Check that:

■ the power supply outlet’s switch (if any), and the router’s power switch, are in

the ON position

■ the power cable is securely plugged in

■ the power supply is operational

Configuring the AR450S

You can configure the router via the command line interface (CLI) or the graphical user interface (GUI). First use the CLI to assign an IP address to the router, then use the CLI or the GUI to complete the configuration.

■ “Using the CLI to configure the AR450S” below

■ “Using the GUI to configure the AR450S” on page 11

Using the CLI to configure the AR450S

This section describes how to access the router’s command line interface (CLI) using a terminal or PC connected to the router’s console port.

1. Initiate router start-up.

Using the terminal cable supplied, connect a VT100-compatible terminal, or the COM port of a PC running a terminal emulation program such as Windows Hyper Terminal, to the Console RS-232 (ASYN0) port on the router’s rear panel.

Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation program to:

• Baud rate: 9600

• Data bits: 8

•Parity: None

•Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: Hardware See the AR400 Series Router Hardware Reference for more information on

configuring emulation software.

613-000313 Rev C

10 AR400 Series Router

2. Log in and set the password.

The login prompt appears on the terminal or PC. If the login prompt does not appear, press [Enter] two or three times.

When the router boots for the first time it automatically creates an account with manager privileges. The account has the user name “manager” and the password is “friend”. Passwords are case sensitive.

At the login prompt, enter the user name and password.

Password: friend

The router’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the router using the command line interface.

Warning Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure you remember the new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

Use the following command to change the account password:

set password

3. Configure the router.

See the AR400 Series Router Software Reference for more information on router start-up and configuration procedures (including a list of message definitions). To continue configuring the router using the CLI, use the commands in the Software Reference.

To display a list of help topics, enter:

help

To display help on a specific topic, enter:

help topic

Alternatively, type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed command to see a list of valid options.

4. Save the configuration.

Save your configuration to a new file by using the command:

create config=filename.cfg

Then set the router to load this file when it restarts by using the command:

set config=filename.cfg

We recommend leaving the boot.cfg file unchanged, in case you need to revert to the original default configuration.

To continue configuring the router using the GUI, see the following section.

613-000313 Rev C

Installation and Safety Guide 11

Using the GUI to configure the AR450S

This section describes how to access the GUI via a switch port in VLAN1 on the AR450S router, when the PC and the router are in the same subnet, in order to configure the router. The router’s switch ports all belong to VLAN1 by default.

The GUI requires a PC and web browser. Supported browsers are Internet Explorer

5.0 or later and Netscape 6.2.2 or later, with JavaScript enabled. If you are using a toolbar or plug-in on your browser to block pop-ups, disable it while using the GUI. The GUI displays detailed configuration options and information in pop-up windows.

1. Connect the PC to a router switch port.

The PC can be connected either directly or through your LAN. To connect the PC directly to the router, use a straight-through Ethernet cable

to connect an Ethernet card on the PC to any one of the router’s switch ports. Note the PC’s IP address and mask.

4. Assign an IP address to VLAN1.

Assign the VLAN1 interface an IP address in the subnet that the PC uses, using the command:

add ip interface=vlan1 ip=ipaddress mask=mask

5. Browse to the GUI.

If you access the Internet through a proxy server, set your browser to bypass the proxy for the IP address you assigned to the VLAN1 interface.

Point your web browser at the IP address of the VLAN interface.

6. Log in and set the password.

At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password. Passwords are case sensitive.

User Name: manager

Password: friend

The system status page appears and you can now use the GUI to configure the router.

Important To ensure configuration settings are saved correctly, use the GUI menus and buttons to navigate, not your browser’s buttons.

Caution As a security precaution, change the password as soon as possible.

To change the password, select Management > Users from the sidebar menu. Select the Manager account and click Modify.

7. Configure the router.

Use the GUI to continue configuring your router. To access context-sensitive help in the GUI, click on the Help button [Help]. The Help button is located at the top of the sidebar menu or on any popup page.

Installation and Safety Guide 13

Connecting Data Cables to the AR450S

Connecting the router to your network:

1. Connect to the LAN.

If you have not already done so, use straight-through Ethernet patch cables to connect the device(s) on your private network (LAN) to the router’s switch port(s). By default, all switch ports are members of VLAN1.

2. Connect to the DMZ port.

If you have a public server to connect, use an Ethernet patch cable to connect it to the AR450S router’s Ethernet DMZ (ETH1) port. Separating public servers from your LAN allows the firewall to provide greater protection for your LAN. If you have multiple public servers, you can connect them to a hub or Layer 2 switch and connect that device to the router’s DMZ port.

3. Connect to the WAN.

Caution If you intend to use a firewall, configure it before you activate

the WAN link.

Once initial configuration is complete, connect the router to the WAN. Use an Ethernet patch cable to connect the router’s Ethernet WAN (ETH0) port to the Ethernet port of a WAN device (such as a modem).
