25 mm (1 in.) clearance.
Using the Rubber
Feet
Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Router from
moving around on your desk or when stacking with other flat top
OfficeConnect units. Only stick the feet to the marked areas at each
corner of the underside of your Router.
Stacking the Router If you are stacking your Router with other OfficeConnect units, install the
Router at the top of the stack. Refer to the documentation supplied with
your other OfficeConnect unit for details on using the stacking clip.
A stacking clip is not supplied with the Router. Use the stacking clip
supplied with another stackable OfficeConnect unit.
Wall Mounting There are two slots on the underside of the Router that can be used for
wall mounting.
When wall mounting the unit, ensure that it is within reach of the power
outlet.
You will need two suitable screws to wall mount the unit. To do this:
1 Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry and sturdy and make two
screw holes which are 150 mm (5.9 in.) apart.
2 Fix the screws into the wall, leaving their heads 3 mm (0.12 in.) clear of
the wall surface.
3 Remove any connections to the unit and locate it over the screw heads.
When in line, gently push the unit on to the wall and move it downwards
to secure.
Before you Install your Router 21
When making connections, be careful not to push the unit up and off the
wall.
CAUTION: Only wall mount single units, do not wall mount stacked
units.
Before you Install
your Router
Before you install and configure your Router, you need the following
additional information. If you do not have this information, contact your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). Space is provided below for you to record
this information.
If you have a DSL connection and your ISP allocates IP information
dynamically over PPPoE, you need a User Name and Password:
PPPoE User Name : ______________________
PPPoE Password : ______________________
PPPoE Service Name : ______________________
You only need a PPPoE Service Name if your ISP requires one. Do not
enter anything if your ISP does not require this information.
If you have a DSL connection and your ISP allocates IP information
dynamically over PPTP, you need a User Name, Password and PPTP Server
Address:
PPTP User Name : ______________________
PPTP Password : ______________________
PPTP Server Address : ____.____.____.____
22 CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
If your ISP allocates fixed or static IP information, you need the following
information:
IP Address : ____.____.____.____
Subnet Mask : ____.____.____.____
Default Router address : ____.____.____.____
DNS address : ____.____.____.____
If your ISP allocates IP information dynamically over a protocol other than
PPPoE, you do not need any further information. This configuration is
typical of cable connections.
Powering Up the
Router
Connecting the
Router
To power up the Router:
1 Plug the power adapter into the power adapter socket located on the
back panel of the Router.
2 Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical wall socket.
