This document supports both the 3641-80 Single Port router and the 3648-80 router which
includes an 8 port Ethernet switch. The router cards are Ethernet IP routers, which mounts in a
full size card slot. The only difference between the 3641-80 and 3648-80 is that the 3648-80 has
an unmanaged Ethernet switch to eliminate the need for an external switch. Therefore the routers
will be referred to as ‘the router’. The router includes an Ethernet interface to provide data
services from the T1/E1 interface. The router can act as a frame relay router, frame relay bridge,
firewall, VPN gateway, or IP sharing.
For purposes of understanding, the Ethernet port represents the LAN side of the router and the
T1/E1 represents the WAN side of the router.
The router card provides three primary services:
1. Provides a standard T1/E1 gateway function between the customer Ethernet interface and
the WAN data service channel on the T1/E1 interface.
2. Provides the possibility for including voice and data over the same T1/E1 line.
3. Provides a flexible programmable data rate 56/64K x N bps where N = 1…24 for T1, 1…30
for E1 (i.e. 56K ~ 1.536M bps for T1, 56K ~ 1.92M bps for E1).

5. Installation
5.1. Preparing Before Installation
The major functions of the Router Card are performed by the Ethernet network interface. Your
computer must have an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed and set up with the
TCP/IP protocol before beginning to use the router. The router also provides a serial console port
for monitoring and configuring the router via the built-in command line interface.
You will need to know the Internet Protocol supported by your T1/E1 provider to successfully
connect to the Internet. For future troubleshooting or reinstallation, it is important that you retain
these details.
Before beginning the hardware installation, please gather the following materials for the setup.
At least one computer running a supported *operating system, with an Ethernet Network
Interface Card (NIC) installed (or more computers if you use an external hub).
TCP/IP protocol installed for each NIC.
Ethernet straight connect cable (one for each computer you will be connecting)
RS-232 serial cable (Optional)
* The router Web Configuration tool supports browsers that operate under Windows 95, 98,
2000, XP and Unix system. Configuration can also be done via telnet, ftp or through an
RS-232 RTR MGMT port.
5.2. Installation Procedures
To install the router card, follow the procedure in the router practice (LT364-180-202) or the
router installation guide (LT364-180-802).
The Web Configuration tool provides a series of web pages that you can use to setup and
configure your Router card. There are three main menus. You can select each of the following
menus from the left frame of the main window:
Status Menu: Information about the current setup and status of the system and system
hardware and options..
System Menu: Information about the error log, upgrading the firmware and restarting the
system.
Configuration Menu: Information about the current configuration of various system features
with options to change the configuration.
NOTE: There are certain features that are only accessible through the Web
Configuration Tool:
If your required configuration exactly matches the settings below, the router will work for you as
pre-configured. After completing the installation, assigning your static IP address to your
computer’s TCP/IP settings, you should be able to make a connection to the Internet.
LAN Port: IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server: Disabled
Loopback: IP Address: 127.0.0.1
In order to access the router’s Web GUI to begin your configuration, you must have the TCP/IP
protocol installed and configured properly in your computer’s network interface card. Your
computer’s TCP/IP settings must allow your computer to obtain an IP address automatically.
To connect to the Internet or configure the router via Ethernet, the TCP/IP protocol must be
installed and configured correctly. Follow the steps below to determine if you have TCP/IP
installed and configured correctly for Windows 95/98.
Step 1 - Check if TCP/IP is installed
1. From your computer’s desktop, double-click
on My Computer, then Control Panel, and
then double-click the Network icon.
2. In the “Network” window, choose the
Configuration tab. Check that TCP/IP is
installed and setup for the Ethernet NIC that
is installed in your computer. If you see, for
example, TCP/IP->Intel 21140 based 10/
100mbps Ethernet Controller, that means
that TCP/IP has been installed.
• If TCP/IP has not been installed for your NIC, proceed to Step 2 as below.
3. Click the DNS Configuration tab, and then
click the Disable DNS button.
NOTE: If you disable the routers
DHCP functions, you will be unable to
access the router with the setting
shown in step 4. You will need to
choose the Specify an IP address
option in step 4 and then manuall
enter an IP address which is on the
same subnet as the router and the
Subnet Mask. For instance, assuming
the router’s default IP address is
192.168.0.1, an IP address on the same
subnet would be 192.168.0.2 o
4. Click the IP Address tab. Choose
Obtain an IP address automatically and
click OK.
192.168.0.13 .
5. The “System Settings Change” window
appears. Click Yes to reboot your system.
1. Be sure you have configured your computer’s TCP/IP settings as described in the section 6.3.
2. Launch a compatible Internet Browser. In your Browser window, type the default IP address of the router, 192.168.0.1 into the URL bar and click GO or hit the Enter key.
3. You will be prompted to enter a User Name and Password. The default User Name and
Password are:
User Name: admin
Password: admin
