Note : Some routers may be shipped with two RS-232 “Y” cables. These cables
can be used for both data and auxiliary port operation.
Needed For Installation
Before connecting the BR Router to your network, you need to make sure that you
have the necessary equipment for connecting to the local Ethernet and the wide area
transmission device(s) (modem, CSU/DSU, ISDN terminal adapter).
Ethernet Connection Requirements
The BR Router’s Ethernet port directly supports thick, thin and 10BaseT twisted-
pair Ethernet. Switching among the three ports is automatic – simply plug the
proper Ethernet connector into its port. Other Ethernet cabling types (such as fiber
optic cabling or pre-10BaseT twisted-pair) can be supported using adapters which
connect to a thick Ethernet port.
Thick Ethernet
To connect the router’s Ethernet port to a standard (thick) Ethernet cable you will
need a transceiver cable connection at the correct location on your Ethernet cable.
The transceiver cable will attach directly to the DB-15 connector on the router.
Thin Ethernet
To connect the router’s Ethernet port to a thin Ethernet cable you will need a T-
connector installed at the correct location on your Ethernet cable. A T-connector is
required for proper termination of the cable.
10Base-T Twisted-Pair Ethernet
To connect the router’s Ethernet port to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling you will need
an unshielded twisted-pair wire that is connected to a 10BaseT-compatible twisted-
pair hub.

Note : Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the BR Router
product. Please contact your reseller or your DCB representative for information
on obtaining the correct Ethernet cabling supplies.
