Installation Requirements and Recommendations

1.4 Installation Requirements and
Recommendations

Before installing a Mobility Router, follow these requirements and recommendations.

1.4.1 Installation Location Guidelines

The Mobility Router should be installed in an environment sufficient for normal operation of network appliances
(50-95°F). Make sure that the area allows for enough ventilation after the Mobility Router is installed. The
appliance should be installed in an area that does not exceed the following humidity range: 8-90%
non-condensing.

1.4.2 Rack Requirements

The Mobility Router must be installed in a standard 19-inch rack. Make sure that th e Mobility Router is installed in
the rack so that the Mobility Router is level in the rack and is fastened by screws on both sides. Refer to “Installing

the Mobility Router” on page 6 for installation instructions

1.4.3 Required Equipment for Installation

The following equipment is required for rack installation (and depends on the type of rack):

 Mounting screws to rack mount the Mobility Router (not provided)
 Screwdriver (not provided)

1.4.4 Uninterruptible Power Supply

We recommend installing the Mobility Router in an existing Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) infrastructure.

Connecting to the Network

1.6 Connecting to the Network

Connect the Mobility Router to a network device, such as a switch, using the straight-through Ethernet cable
provided with the Mobility Router.

To connect the Mobility Router to the network:

1 Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the network device.
2 Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the left Ethernet port (ETH0) on the rear of the Mobility Router.

NOTE If using the Secure Remote Voice feature, connect the second Ethernet port (ETH1) to the external

network.

Connecting to the Console Port

1.7 Connecting to the Console Port

The Mobility Router uses a serial console po rt to provide a direct connection to the command-line interface (CLI)
Wizard for initial configurat i on the Mobility Router. After completing the initial configuration, access to the
console port is no longer necessary.

To initially configure the Mobility Router, connect the management PC or laptop to the serial console port of the
Mobility Router. If there is no serial port, use a 9-pin serial to USB adapter to connect to the serial cable.

To connect the PC or laptop to the serial console port:

1 Insert one end of the serial cable into the PC or laptop se rial port.
2 Insert the other end of the cable into the serial console port of the Mobility Router.

Figure 1-6. Connecting to the Serial Console Port

On the PC or laptop, start terminal emulation software (such as Microsoft HyperTerminal) and select the

3

appropriate COM port.

4 Configure the port using the following settings:

 Baud rate: 9600 bps
 Data bits: 8
 Parity: None
 Stop bits: 1
 Flow control: None

1.8 Connecting Power

To connect AC power:

1 Insert the female end of the power cord into the back of the Mobility Router.
2 Connect the other end of the power cord into an appropriate AC power source.

Using the Initial Configuration Wizard

1.9 Using the Initial Configuration Wizard

In the terminal emulation software window, use the initial configuration wizard to initially configure the Mobility
Router. After initially con figuring and restarting the Mobility Router, access the RoamAnywhere Administration
Portal to configure, manage, monitor, and troubleshoot the Mobility Router.

Tip

You can use the USB ports to connect a USB mouse and/or keyboard to assist in configuration.

Before starting the wizard, have the following information available:

 Mobility Router hostname
 If not using DHCP:

 Mobility Router IP address
 Subnet mask
 Default gateway for Mobility Router
 IP address of primary DNS server
 Domain name for the Mobility Router

 Password for administrative access to Mobility Router

To use the initial configuration wizard:

1 At the login prompt, type admin and press Enter.
2 When prompted to accept the End User License Agreement, enter YES to accept. The initial configuration

wizard starts.

3 Enter Y to use the wizard.
4 Enter the DNS hos tname of the Mobility Ro uter. The hostna me can be in short-na me format or a fully qual ified

domain name.

5 At the ‘Use DHCP on ETH0’ interface prompt, do one of the following:

 To use DHCP, enter Y, and go to Step 11.
 Enter N if DHCP is not desired. Continue to step 6.

NOTE We recommend using a static IP address so that the IP address of the Mobility Router does not

change. If using DHCP, make sure to reserve an IP address for the Mobility Router.

6 Enter the Mobility Router's primary IP address.

NOTE A secondary IP address can be configured using the Administration Portal.
7 Enter the subnet mask in the format of a 32-bit mask or classless interdomain routing (CIDR) notation.
8 Enter the IP address of the default gateway for the Mobility Router.
9 Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.

Using the Initial Configuration Wizard

10 Enter the domain name in the format domain-name.com. This suffix is appended to all DNS queries.
11 Assign a password to the default Admin account for future access to the RoamAnywhere Administration Portal.

NOTE We do not recommend leaving the password field blank.
12 Confirm the password for the default Admin account.
13 After completing the initial configuration wizard, a summary list of the information appears.
