Introduction to the DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP
The DS3-Quad 10/100 Routing Input/Output Processor (RIOP), as part of the VSR multigigabit switching router, allows you to connect a remote corporate network and up to four local
Ethernet segments. The DS3 interface has a data capacity of 44.736 Mbps, while the Ethernet
interfaces can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
This section of the manual contains information specific to the DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP. It is
divided into the following sections:

This section of the manual will help you install the DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP to connect a local
Ethernet and remote corporate network. These connections can be made to other Compatible
Systems routers or routers from other vendors.
In summary, the steps for installation are:
1. After mounting the router or placing on a desktop, make sure it is not connected to
any power source.
2. Connect the router to the Ethernet network.
3. Connect the router to the DS3 transmission equipment.
4. Connect a management console to the router (optional).
5. Plug in the power cable and power up the router.
Connecting the DS3-Quad 10/100 to the Ethernet
The 10/100 Ethernet interfaces directly support 100BaseTx or 10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet.
To connect one of the router’s Ethernet interfaces to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, you will
need an unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is already connected
ible twisted-pair hub (for a transmit speed of 10 Mbps) or a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hub (for a
transmit speed of 100 Mbps).
v
Note: Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the DS3-Quad 10/100
RIOP product. Category 5 cabling is required for 100 BaseT operation. Please contact your
reseller or your Compatible Systems representative for information on obtaining the correct
Ethernet cabling supplies .
To connect the router to the twisted-pair network, simply plug the twisted-pair cable into the
RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the front of the unit.
DS3 Line Connection Requirements
The DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP includes an integrated DS3 C SU/DSU. To connect this interface
to your DS3 transmission equipment, you will need two coaxial cables.
These cables require special tools to be built correctly. You can use your approved cable
supplier or you can contact your reseller or your Compatible Systems representative for a list
of cable suppliers. To have a cable built, use the following specifications:
• Cable Type: AT&T type 734A or equivalent
• Connector Type: AMP Incorporated 413589-7 or equivalent (75 Ohm BNC plug)
• Maximum L ength: 900 feet
