This section of the manual will help you install the Octal V .35-10/100 RIOP to connect a local
Ethernet and up to eight remote corporate networks. These connections can be made to other
Compatible Systems devices or internetworking equipment from other vendors.
In summary, the steps for installation are:
1. After mounting the router or placing it 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 wide area communications device(s).
4. Connect a management console to the router (optional).
5. Power up the communications device(s).
6. Plug in the power cable and power up the router.
Connecting the Octal V.35-10/100 to the Ethernet
The 10/100 Ethernet interface direc tly supp orts 1 00B as eTx or 10B as eT twisted-pair Ether net.
To connect the router’s Ethernet interface to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, you will need an
unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is already connected
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 Octal V.35-10/100
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.
