DI-1162 Remote Access Router

Installation

13

Install the router in a site free from strong electromagnetic field

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

When installing the router on a level surface, attach the rubber

feet to the bottom of the device. The rubber feet cushion the
router, protect the casing from scratches and prevent it from
scratching other surfaces.

Rack Mounting

The DI-1162 may stand alone or be mounted on a standard 19-inch
equipment rack. Rack mounting produces an orderly installation when
you have a number of related network devices. Use the six supplied
screws to fasten the supplied mounting brackets to either end of the
router, then fasten the router into the rack.

Installation and Initial Configuration of the Router

This section discusses the different connections that can be made to the
router when setting it up.

Initially, you will only wish to connect the console to the router in
order to configure the other ports. Once that is complete, you will need
to turn off the power to the router and plug in the connection cables to
the other devices. Next, power on the other devices. When they have
finished powering up, power on the router. Each of these steps is
described in detail in the sections below. Please skip any setting
adjustments that do not apply to your configuration needs.

A Warning about Connecting Cables

It is important that correct cables are used for each connection;
otherwise, the router could be damaged.
