Router Installation

Desktop Hardware Installation

The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:

Note: The router model may be different than the one shown in the example illustrations.

• Install the Router in a fairly cool and dry place.

• Install the Router in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such

as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

• Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.

• Install the Router on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an

EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.

• When installing the Router on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the

bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching.

Rack Mount Hardware Installation

The router can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the router’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.

Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each router in the rack.

Note: The look of the router may be different than what is actually displayed.

Dynamic routing protocols

Advanced > IP Routing Rule Setup

You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate between the two separate networks, static routing needs to be configured. Below is an example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network to access the other network. If you have other routing devices that support dynamic routing protocol, you can enable these routing protocols on your router to learn and automatically generate the routes needed between these networks.

Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

Advanced > IP Routing Setup / Advanced > IP Routing Rule Setup

Note: The RIP version is RIP version 2.

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”

on page 7).

2. Click on Advanced and click on IP Routing Setup.

3. Review the RIP Routing section. To save changes to this section, click Apply to

command save your changes.

• Service: Check Enable to enable the RIP version 2 routing protocol.

• Distribute OSPF over RIP: If you are using both RIP and OSPF dynamic routing

protocols at the same time, this option will distribute OSPF routes over RIP protocol to other RIP enabled devices.

Under RIP Side (Devices) Settings, select the interface you would like to enable the RIP protocol.

• Service: Select Enable to enable the route or disable to disable the route.

• Destination Net/Mask: Enter the IP network address of the destination network

for the route or network to distribute for the RIP/OSPF protocol (e.g.

192.168.150.0/24)

• Via

o Gateway: This option configures that static route to an external IP

network and specify the gateway IP address. If choosing this option, enter the Gateway IP address. (e.g 192.168.10.2)

o Interface: This option configure an interface route. If choosing this

option, click the drop-down list and select the interface.

• Metric: Enter the metric or priority of the route. The metric range is 1-255, the

lowest number 1 being the highest priority.

• RIP – Selecting Enable will distribute the network route to other RIP enabled

devices.

• OSPF – Selecting Enable will distribute the network route to other OSPF enabled

devices.

You can check the current routing table Advanced > IP Routing Status.
