Installation and Safety Guide 7
Installing an Optional PIC
If you purchased an optional PIC, install it now by following the Port Interface Card
Quick Install Guide. The PIC Quick Install Guide can be found with the PIC, on the
Documentation and Tools CD-ROM, or can be downloaded from
www.alliedtelesis.com/support/documentation/
Installing the Router in a Rack
1. Gather additional items. You will need:
• the rack-mount kit (in your router package, or ordered from your authorised
Allied Telesis distributor or reseller)
• 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
(see figure below).
5. Connect the brackets to the router.
Screw the brackets to the sides of the router, using the supplied screws (see
figure below). The router can be front or rear mounted.
Rmount

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.
AR400 Series routers are 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 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.
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

Installation and Safety Guide 9
Configuring the AR415S
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 AR415S” below
■ “Using the GUI to configure the AR415S” on page 11
Using the CLI to configure the AR415S
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.

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.
Login: manager
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.

Using the GUI to configure the AR415S
This section describes how to access the GUI via a switch port in VLAN1 on the
AR415S 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.
To connect via a LAN, use an Ethernet cable to connect the router’s switch
port(s) to the device(s) on the LAN. Select the LAN PC from which you wish to
configure the router. The PC should be in the same subnet as the part of the
LAN that contains the router (for example, the PC could be connected to a hub
or Layer 2 switch that is directly connected to one of the router’s switch ports).
Note the PC’s IP address and mask.
2. Access the CLI on the router.
613-000313 Rev D
Follow the instructions in the previous section “Using the CLI to configure the
AR415S” on page 9.
12 AR400 Series Router
3. Enable IP.
In the CLI, enter the command:
enable ip
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 AR415S
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 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:
• Connect a PIC port to a WAN connection. See the Port Interface Card Quick
Install Guide and Hardware Reference.
• 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).
