•

The VOE210 contains no user serviceable parts. The equipment shall be returned to Black Box for repairs, or repaired by qualiﬁed service personnel.

WARNING

•

Mains Voltage: Do not open the case the power cord is attached. The external power adaptor shall be a listed limited power source that incorporates a disconnect device and shall be positioned within easy reach of the operator. The mains outlet shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker.

•

For AC powered units, ensure that the power cable used meets all applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed, and that it is connected to a wall outlet which has earth ground.

•

Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the VOE210 is ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock, use caution when near WAN ports. when detaching the cables, detach the end away from the VOE210 ﬁrst.

•

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect

cables during periods of lightning activity.

In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product from other waste and scrap and deliver to the WEEE collection system in your country for recycling.

port of the VOE210. The VOE210 Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through Ethernet cables for host or hub/switch connections. (See Figure 1.)

2. The VOE210 comes with a b uilt-in DHCP serv er to simplify conﬁguration. Therefore, to automatically conﬁgure the PC for IP connectivity to the VOE210, conﬁgure the laptop PC for DHCP. The VOE210 will provide the PC with an IP address.

3. Check the connection to the VOE210 by executing the

ping

command from

the PC command window as follows:

ping 192.168.1.1

If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section “Connecting the VOE210 to the network” on page 7. Otherwise, continue with the following sections to change the addresses and network masks.

3.2 Login

1. To access the VOE210, start the Telnet application on your PC. Type the default IP address into the address ﬁeld:

192.168.1.1

. Accessing your VOE210 via a Telnet session displays the login screen. Type the factory default login:

and leave the password empty. Press the

Enter

key after the password prompt.

2. After you log in, your VOE210 will be running in operator e x ecution mode (indicated by > character in the command line prompt). To enter conﬁguration mode, use the commands

3.3 Changing the WAN IP address

1. To modify IP conﬁguration settings, you must enter

context IP

mode. Enter

the following command:

192.168.1.1(cfg)#

192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#

2. Now you can set your IP address and network mask for the interface

0/0(WAN)

. In this example a network 172.16.1.0/24 is assumed. The IP

address in example is set to

context ip router

172.16.1.99

. (You should set it to the IP address

ETH

that the network provider has given you.)

Note

The examples in this guide use a private IP network with the network

3. Copy this modiﬁed conﬁguration to your new start-up conﬁguration. This will store your changes in non-volatile memory. On the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modiﬁed conﬁguration.

172.16.1.99 (if-ip)[eth0]#

copy running-config startup-config

The VOE210 can now be connected to your network.

4. Connecting the VOE210 to the network

CAUTION

In general, the VOE210 will connect to the network via the WAN (ETH 0/0) port. This enables the VOE210 to of fer routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH 0/1) port. The VOE210 Series provides an auto-MDX feature for both Ethernet ports, so you can use a straight-through or cross-over cable to connect to a host or a switch (see Figure 2)

5. Loading the conﬁguration (optional)

Black Box provides a collection of conﬁguration templates on the CD-ROM shipped with your VOE210 device, one of which may be similar enough to your application that you can use it to speed up conﬁguring the VOE210. Simply download the conﬁguration note that matches your application to your PC. Adapt the conﬁguration as described in the conﬁguration note to your network (remember to modify the IP address) and copy the modiﬁed conﬁguration to a TFTP server. The VOE210 can now load its conﬁguration from this server.

Note

If your application is unique and not covered by any of Black Box’s conﬁguration templates, you can manually conﬁgure the VOE210 instead of loading a conﬁguration ﬁle template.

In this example we assume an TFTP server resides on the host with the IP address

172.16.1.11 and the conﬁguration ﬁle named

VOE.cfg

resides in the root direc-

tory of the TFTP server.

After you reboot the VOE210 the new startup conﬁguration will become active.

When you issue the reload command, the VOE210 will ask if you want to copy the running conﬁguration to the startup conﬁguration. Since you just downloaded a conﬁguration ﬁle to the startup conﬁguration you must answer this question with NO.

IMPORTANT

A.2 Radio and TV Interference

The VOE210 router generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions—may cause interference to radio and television reception. The VOE210 router have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with speciﬁcations in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the VOE210 router does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).
