Chapter 2 - Getting Started 5 Chapter 2 - Getting Started AF e wN o t e s Please Read The Manuals The m anua ls inc lude d wit h your M icro Rou ter 22 00R co ntai n some very important info rmation about the MicroRouter 2200 R and local and wide area networki ng in general.
6 Chapter 2 - Getting Started What You Will Need To Get S tarted Before conn ecting the MicroR outer 220 0R, please check the li st below to make sure that yo u have received all of the items that are supplied with the MicroRouter 2200R package.
Chapter 2 - Getting Started 7 10Base-T Twisted-Pair Ethernet T o connect the router 's Ethernet interface to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling you will need an unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is connected to a 10BaseT -compatible twis ted-pair hub.
8 Chapter 2 - Getting Started RS-232 Interface The MicroRout er 2200R includ es one DB-25 to DB-25 RS-232 sync/as ync cable. This cable sup ports RS-232 asy nchronous modems, synchronous leased an d switched 56K C SU/DSUs, and ISDN T erminal Adapters.
Chapter 3 - Network Installatio n 9 Chapter 3 - Network Ins tallation MicroRo uter 2200R Ba ck Panel This section of the manual describes how to connect the MicroRouter 2200R to your Ethernet network and y our wide area communications device(s). In summary , the st eps for installation are: 1.
10 Chapter 3 - Network Installatio n Connecting the Router to the Ethernet If your twisted-pair hub is already in place, you can connect the router to an active network without interrupting network activity .
Chapter 3 - Network Installatio n 11 Connecting Device s to the RS-232C Interface This in terface -- W AN 1 -- can be used to connect to synch ronous o r asynchro nous line communi cations devi ces at rates up to 256Kbps (sync), o r 230.4 Kbp s (async).
12 Chapter 3 - Network Installatio n Powering Up the Router Power up any modem, CSU/DSU, or T A before powerin g up the router . This allows the router to immediately sense whether its secondary inter- face is connected. The exception to this rule is when conn ecting an RS232 interface to a CSU/DSU.
Chapter 4 - Comp atiView Software Inst allation 13 Chapter 4 - CompatiView Software Installation All of the routers in Compa tible System s’ internetworki ng and VPN families , including all RISC Rout er and MicroRouter model s, can be managed fro m a single GUI m anagement plat form called Com patiV iew .
14 Chapter 4 - Comp atiView Software Inst allation Run the auto-ins tallation pro gram (CV5x file) by double-cl icking on it. The installation program will ask you to select (or create) a directory in which it shou ld locate CompatiV iew and its a ssociated files and d ata- base su bdire ctory .
Chapter 5 - Comm and Line Management 15 Chapter 5 - Command Line Management The command lin e interface allows you to configu re and monitor the router in-ban d via telnet or out-of-ban d with a terminal c onnected to the MicroRouter 2200R’ s Console interface.
16 Chapter 5 - Comm and Line Management interface. Y ou can then do the following: 1. Se t the ho st’ s IP add ress t o 198. 41.12 .2, wi th a C lass C subn et mask (255.25 5.255.0) and then T elnet to 198.41 .12.1. 2. Enter the default p assword letmein at the p asswor d promp t.
Chapter 5 - Comm and Line Management 17 two methods ar e given in Ch apter 4 - Comp atiV iew S oftware Installation . • W ith CompatiV iew , basic IP parameters can be set using the TCP/IP Ro uting: Ethernet 0 D ialog Box. U se the Save to/Device option under the File men u to save the changes.

Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide 19 Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide This chapter briefly explains th e major parameters that mus t be set in order to use the router .
20 Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide Ethernet Interfac e Configuration Ethernet interfaces are considerably easier to set up than wide area interfaces since t here are fewer choices that need to b e made regarding communi cations protocols and parameters.
Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide 21 IPX Protocol Required for IP X There are general ly no required changes from the shipp ing Ethernet configuration for IPX. The Ethernet interface will autoconfigur e to use the two most common IPX frame types, and will autoadapt to condi- tions on the Ethernet .
22 Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide CV : Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Glob al/DECnet Routing) and th e DECnet: Ethern et Dialog Box. TB: Use config ure and set the Ena bled , Ar ea ,a n d Node keywords in the DECnet Global section. Note: Sett ing DE Cnet on fo r any por t with the c omman d line al so sets DEC net on globall y .
Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide 23 PPP Configur ation This section covers the settings required for PPP (point-to-point) protocol operation of the W AN interfaces. Link Config uration Required for Dedicate d/Leased Line Operation Dedicated line operation is the simplest to set up.
24 Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide method and to select a chat s cript (once you have created one). Use the W A N Chat Scri pts Dialog Box (un der Global/W AN Chat Scripts) to create your chat script. TB: Use config ure and t hen set the Dialin g , DialOutScript ,a n d Dr opInact keywords in the Link Config W AN 1 section.

26 Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide DECnet Protocol Required for DECn et The router’ s shipping configur ation does not have DECnet tur ned on.
Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide 27 Frame Relay Conf iguration This section cov ers the settings required for Fram e Relay operation o f the MicroRouter 2200R W AN interfaces. In general, the parameters listed here should be set for each W AN interface on which you plan to use Fr ame Re lay .
28 Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide IP Protocol Required for IP There are two ways t o set up Frame R elay . One is to set the W AN inter- face as a “numbered interface.” This means that the interface (and thus the Frame Relay network) will have an IP addr ess, subnet mask, etc.
Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide 29 IPX Protocol Required for IP X Frame Relay operation r equires that the W AN interface is set to be a “numbered inter face.” This means that the interface (and thus the Frame Relay network) must have an IPX network number .
30 Chapter 6 - Basic Config uration Guide DECnet Protocol Required for DECn et WAN interfaces which are set for Frame Relay operation do not need any a dditi onal para mete rs set i n ord er to f uncti on. DECnet must be turned on g lobally , an d turned on for a particular port, in order to be used.
