Installing the Router

Selecting a site

You can install the router on a level surface such as a desktop or bench, in a standard 19-inch rack using the rack mount kit included with your router, or on a firm wall using a wall mount kit (AR750S only).

When you install the router, choose a site that:

■ allows adequate airflow around the router and its vents.

■ is free of dust and moisture.

■ will maintain an ambient temperature range of 0 ºC to 50 ºC

(32 ºF to 122 ºF) and a humidity range of 5% to 80% non-condensing.

■ has a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply, preferably dedicated and

filtered.

■ does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise such as radio

transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and

fluorescent fixtures.

■ allows easy access to the router’s power and cable connections.

Installation and Safety Guide

Before installing

■ Read the safety information “Safety” on page 22.

■ Gather the tools and equipment you will need.

To install an AR750S or AR770S in a rack (Installing the router in a rack)

you will need:

• the rack mount bracket kit included with your router

• a Phillips #1 screwdriver

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

To install an AR750S on a wall (Installing the router on a wall) you will need:

• the wall mount bracket kit supplied with the router.

• a Phillips #1 screwdriver and a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

• If you are fixing the router to a solid masonry or hollow wall, you need equipment to drill a 6 mm hole.

You may also need:

• an optional Port Interface Card (PIC) and the PIC Installation and Safety Guide.

• an optional SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable module). See the AR700 Series Router Hardware Reference for a list of approved SFPs; order from your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller. (Installing SFPs)

■ Unpack the router. Verify the package contents. If any items are damaged or

missing, contact your sales representative.

■ Place the router in its operating location. See the previous section “Selecting

a site” on page 6 for guidelines on choosing a suitable location.

Installing PICs

If you purchased optional Port Interface Cards (PICs), install them by following their Installation and Safety Guide. That guide can be found with the PIC, on the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM, or can be downloaded from

www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software/ .

AR700 Series Router

Installing the router in a rack

1. 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.

2. Unscrew the feet.

3. Connect the handles to the brackets (AR750S only). Screw the handles to the wider side of each bracket, using the supplied

screws (see the figure below).

4. 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. AR750S rack mount bracket

5. Mount the router in the rack. Use appropriate rack mounting screws (not supplied).

Installation and Safety Guide

Installing the router on a wall

1. Screw the brackets to the AR750S router. Screw a wall mount bracket to the outer screw holes on each side of the router using the shorter screws supplied (see figure below).

2. Screw the wall brackets to the wall with the brackets at the top and bottom of the router, the feet against the wall, and the power inlet near the top.

AR700 Series Router

Installing SFPs

Warning Do not look into the optical ports of SFP cables or transceivers.

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibres or connectors. If you purchased optional SFPs for the AR770S, install them in the Ethernet SFP

slots (leftmost). The SFP transceiver must be inserted the right way in the slot. To install an SFP

into the Ethernet SFP 0 slot (lower, leftmost), make sure the hinge on the front handle is at the top. For Ethernet SFP 1 (upper, leftmost), the handle hinge must be at the bottom. See the figure below.

Slide the transceiver into the SFP socket, and firmly press it until it engages. To remove it, first release it by gently pulling the release lever, and then pull it out of the socket. Never force a transceiver into or out of a socket.

Applying power to the router

Check that the supply voltage and the router’s rated voltage match. The router is fitted with a universal power supply that will function over the range 100 VAC to 240 VAC and 50 Hz to 60 Hz.

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.

Warning This equipment must be earthed.

Installation and Safety Guide

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

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. If the LEDs fail to light, check that the router is receiving power.

Configuring the Router

To configure the router you can either:

■ “Configuring with the GUI” on page 11 (AR750S only)

■ “Configuring with the CLI” on page 14

The AR750S and AR770S routers have a simple default configuration (“Default

configuration” on page 16).

Configuring with the GUI

This section describes how to access the AR750S GUI via a switch port in VLAN1, 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.

We recommend starting to configure the AR750S using the GUI. You can then use the CLI if necessary to complete your configuration (“Configuring with the

CLI” on page 14).

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.

Caution If another device on your network already uses the router’s default IP address, 192.168.1.1, do not connect the router to the network until you have changed the management port’s address by using the command line.

AR700 Series Router

1. Connect the PC to a router switch port.

The PC can be connected 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.

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).
