About This Guide
This guide describes how to set up the IBM 2210, perform the initial configuration, and identify and correct any problems that occur during the installation.
The IBM 2210 has multiple connectors (ports) on the rear of the unit. This guide tells you how to attach the correct cable to each port to complete the physical installation of the IBM 2210.
In order for the IBM 2210 to communicate with other devices in the WAN, it must be configured with some basic information about its location (address). The IBM 2210 may have been pre-configured at the factory and, if so, it will automatically configure itself at the end of the initial power-on. If the IBM 2210 requires manual configuration, this guide describes three alternative ways to configure it.
Who Should Use This Guide
This guide is intended for the person responsible for installing the IBM 2210 and performing simple configuration tasks when assisted by a network administrator.

Chapter 1. Installing the 2210
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the IBM 2210 or the devices that attach to the IBM 2210. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cord for the IBM 2210 is unplugged.
When possible, use one hand to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect or disconnect any cables.
Note: For translations of this safety notice, see “Safety Notices” on page 43.
To install the IBM 2210, you will first install the hardware, and then perform an initial configuration if your router was not configured at the factory.
1. To install the hardware, see the following sections of this guide: a. “Preparing for Installation” on page 2
b. “Installing Options in Models 14T and 24x” on page 25, if needed c. “Placing the IBM 2210 on the Table or in the Rack” on page 4 d. “Connecting the Cables” on page 8 e. “Connecting the Power Cord” on page 11
f. “Attaching the IBM 2210 to Devices” on page 11
g. “Verifying Operation” on page 12
2. If the IBM 2210 was not pre-configured at the factory, see Chapter 4,
“Performing the Initial Configuration” on page 19 to perform an initial configuration.
If your IBM 2210 is configured with just an IP address and a Bootp server address, the IBM 2210 will use the EasyStart feature to obtain a full configuration from the Bootp Server. EasyStart is described in
Software User’s
Guide for Multiprotocol Routing Services
If the IBM 2210 has an IP address and is connected to a network, you can also use the Configuration Program to send a full configuration to the router and restart the router.
To configure protocols, transports, and features you need on the IBM 2210, using the built-in configuration program, refer to the following publications:

Preparing for Installation
Note: Before installing the IBM 2210, be sure to read “Electronic Emission
Notices” on page 37. Before beginning the installation procedure, make sure that the following tasks have
been completed:
¹ If the IBM 2210 is to be placed in a rack, provide a rack that meets the
requirements and that has space for the IBM 2210. See “Placing the IBM 2210 on the Table or in the Rack” on page 4 for information about rack requirements. You will also need to provide the mounting hardware appropriate for your rack.
¹ Verify that appropriate power outlets are available. ¹ Unpack the IBM 2210 and place it where it is to be installed. ¹ Provide any network interface cables not ordered with the IBM 2210. ¹ If the IBM 2210 was not pre-configured at the factory, you will need an ASCII
terminal to perform initial configuration. See “Attaching an ASCII Terminal to the Service Port” on page 15 for information about ASCII terminals.

Placing the IBM 2210 on the Table or in the Rack
Models 1S4, 1S8, 1U4, and 1U8 are for table top use. The other models can be placed on a tabletop or rack. The following figures use a 12x model as an example.
Placement on a Table
If you are placing the IBM 2210on a table:
1 Attach the four adhesive-backed feet to the bottom of the IBM 2210 at the
corners.
(this book)
Figure 2. Attaching the Feet to the Bottom of the IBM 2210
2 Place the IBM 2210 on the table and go to “Connecting the Cables” on
page 8.
4 2210 Install and Initial Config
Placement in a Rack
If you choose rack-mounting, you must provide the rack; it is not provided with the
2210. You can use any EIA standard 19-inch rack. The rack can be open or closed.
However, if you choose a closed rack, you must make sure that enough air flows through the 2210. Covers on the front of the rack that would not let air reach the 2210 must be removed or modified to let air pass. Similarly, unvented rear rack covers that would not let air exit the 2210 or would cause back pressure to build up from several machines must not be used.
If you are placing the IBM 2210 in a rack:
1 To install the IBM 2210 with the cables at the back of the rack, go to step 2
on page 6. To install the IBM 2210 with the cables at the front of the rack, follow these
steps for each rack-mounting bracket:
a Remove the outer screws that attach the mounting bracket to the side
of the IBM 2210.
