7 Chapter 1 - Introduction About the BR Router Congratulations on your purchase of the BR Router Ethernet to wide area router. The BR Router supports the IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and DECnet protocols, with dial- on-demand or dedicated line operation over voice, leased/switched, or ISDN lines, using the PPP and/or the Frame Relay wide area protocols.
8 RouterView Software Installation If you plan to use RouterView, DCB ’ GUI (Graphical User Interface) management software which is included with your router, then read this section. Instructions are provided on how to install RouterView for Windows or Macintosh environments.
9 Chapter 2 - Getting Started A Few Notes Please Read The Manuals The manuals included with your BR Router contain some very important information about the BR Router and local and wide area networking in general. Please read this manual thoroughly, and refer to the management reference guides as required.
10 • Macintosh RouterView diskette • Windows download software diskette • Macintosh download software diskette • RouterView reference guide • Command line reference guide • Warranty registration card v Note : Some routers may be shipped with two RS-232 “Y” cables.
11 v Note : These hardware installation instructions assume that your Ethernet cabling is already in place. Thin coaxial Ethernet network cabling should be terminated at each end with 50 Ohm terminator plugs. A T-connector or transceiver must be available in the location where you will be installing the router.

13 Chapter 3 - Hardware Installation BR Router Back Panel This section of the manual describes how to connect the BR Router to your Ethernet network and your wide area communications device. In summary, the steps for installation are: 1. Make sure the router is powered down and the power supply is not plugged in to the wall.
14 Connecting the Router to the Ethernet For thick and thin Ethernet networks you should have installed your Ethernet cabling before you install the BR Router .
15 Examples include modems, leased or switched CSU / DSU ’s, and ISDN terminal adapters. You may select either dial-on demand, redial if down (“always up” mode), or leased line operation. These ports may also be set to receive ISDN or switched-56 incoming calls.

17 Chapter 4 - RouterView Software Installation All of the routers in DCB ’ multiprotocol family, including all BR Router and RISC Router models, can be managed from a single management platform called RouterView. Both a Windows and a Macintosh version of RouterView were included with your BR Router .
18 Start Windows. Insert the diskette into your computer’s disk drive. At the Windows Program Manager, select “Run” from the File menu and type A:SETUP (where A: is the drive containing the RouterView diskette). This will invoke an auto-installation program supplied with RouterView.
19 Double-click on the RouterView icon and the program will start up and ask you to select/create a location for its database. Once the database has been created, this message will not reappear when you run RouterView. For further information on using RouterView, see the RouterView Reference Guide included with your router.
.
21 Chapter 5 - Setting Up Command Line Management The command-line interface allows you to configure and monitor the router in-band via Telnet or out-of-band with a terminal connected to the BR Router ’s AUX port. Telnet is a remote terminal communications protocol based on TCP/IP.
22 After you have set these basic IP parameters, you can use Telnet to access the router from any node on your IP internetwork, so long as communications occur through a configured port. Invoke the Telnet client on your local computer with the IP address of the router you wish to manage.
23 Chapter 6 - Quickstart Instructions This Quickstart section briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in order to use the router. There are a number of parameter settings which are optional, in the sense that they are not required for all installations.
24 IP Protocol Required for IP These parameters set the basic address characteristics of the port. They provide enough information for another IP node to find the port (such as a Telnet client), but not enough information for routing to take place.
25 AppleTalk Protocol Required for AppleTalk There are generally no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for AppleTalk. The Ethernet port will autoconfigure to use AppleTalk Phase II, and will autoadapt to conditions on the Ethernet.
26 Operating Software Required for PPP PPP operation requires the correct operating software download in the BR Router ’s Flash ROM. You can identify the correct software version by the “P” in the fourth character of the filename (i.e. M10P210.DLD).
27 IPX Protocol Required for IPX WAN ports which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an IPX address. They are set to act as an “unnumbered interface.
28 RV : Use the WAN/DECnet screen. CL : Use interface ( misc) and then decnet wan (set). Link Configuration Required for Dedicated/Leased Line Operation Dedicated line operation is the simplest to set up. • Set Dedicated connection • Set PPP connection RV : Use the WAN/Link screen.
29 Physical Comm Settings You may need to set the baud rate, sync/async operation, and other physical communications parameters for the WAN port. These parameters will depend on the line communications device you are using. RV : Use the WAN/General window.
30 • IP Subnet mask • IP Broadcast Address RV : Use the WAN/IP screen to set these parameters. CL : Use the interface ( misc) and ip (set) commands. Suggested for IP These parameters help supply information about the segment that the port is connected to.
31 AppleTalk Protocol Required for AppleTalk Frame Relay operation requires that the WAN port is set to be a “numbered interface.” This means that the port (and thus the Frame Relay network) must have an AppleTalk network number and the port must have an AppleTalk node number.
32 Frame Relay DLCI Mappings If you are connecting to another DCB router, this information is not required. DCB uses IARP (Inverse Address Resolution Protocol) to dynamically generate this information.
