4AR400 Series Router

C613-04032-01 REV C

Selecting a Site

The router should be installed on a level surface such as a desktop or bench.

When installing the router, choose a site that:

■Allows adequate airflow around the router and its vents.

■Is free of dust and moisture.

■Will allow the router to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 40º C

(32 to 104º F) and a humidity range of 5 to 95% non-condensing.

■Has a reliable and earthed (grounded), preferably dedicated and filtered

power supply circuit.

■Does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise, such as radios,

transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and

fluorescent fixtures.

■Allows easy access to the router’s power and cable connections.

Installing the Router

This equipment must be earthed.

Follow these steps to install the router:

1. Read the safety information.

For safety information, see the Safety and Statutory Information booklet. A

copy of this booklet is supplied with each router, and can also be found on

the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM or at www.alliedtelesyn.co.nz/

support/ar400.

2. Gather additional items you will need.

If also installing an optional Port Interface Card (PIC), you will need a PIC

Quick Install guide.

3. Unpack the router.

Verify the package contents. If any items are damaged or missing, contact

your sales representative.

4. Place the router in its operating location.

See the previous Selecting a Site section for guidelines on choosing a

suitable location.

5. Install expansion options.

If you purchased an optional PIC, install it now by following the PIC Quick

Install Guide. That guide can be found on the Documentation and Tools

CD-ROM or can be downloaded from www.alliedtelesyn.co.nz/support/

ar400/.

6. Check the supply voltage and the router’s rated voltage.

AR400 Series routers are fitted with a universal mains power supply that

will function over the range 100-240 VAC and 50–60Hz.

The specific power supply requirements for a particular model are clearly

displayed on the rear or underside of the router. If the supply is outside the

accepted range for the router, the router may not operate and damage to the

router may result.

7. Apply power to the router.

Fit the power cord retaining clip to the AC power inlet on the router’s rear

panel.

Plug the power cord into the AC power inlet and check that the power

switch is in the ON position (see Figure 1 on page -5). The Power LED and

System LED will light briefly.

If the power LED fails to light, or the System LED lights continuously, refer

to the troubleshooting section later in this guide.

an optional PIC card.

8. Connect the data cables.

Make sure that each cable connection is secure.

9. Initiate router start-up.

Using the terminal cable supplied, connect a VT100-compatible terminal,

or the COM port of a PC running a terminal emulation program such as

Windows Terminal, to the Console RS-232 (ASYN 0) port on the router’s

rear panel.

Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation

program to:

• Baud rate: 9600

• Data bits: 8

•Parity:None

•Stopbits:1

• Flow control: Hardware

See the AR Router Hardware Reference for more information on configuring

emulation software.

10. Log in and set password.

The log in prompt appears on the terminal or PC. If the log in prompt

doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.

When the router boots for the first time it automatically creates an account

with manager privileges. The account has the log in name “manager” and

the password is “friend”.

At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.

Password: friend

The router’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the

router using the command line interface.

Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with

the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure you remember the

new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

Use the following command to change the account password:

set password

To access help, enter:

set help=

help-filename

where help-filename is the name of a help file stored in flash.

To see a list of files stored in flash, enter:

show file

Help files have an HLP extension.

To display a list of help topics, enter:

help

To display help on a specific topic, enter:

Alternatively, type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed

command to see a list of valid options.

See the AR400 Series Router Software Reference for more information on

router start-up and configuration procedures (including a list of message

definitions).

LEDs and What They Mean

LEDs indicate the router’s operational status and port activity. Descriptions of

PIC LEDs can be found in the PIC Quick Install Guide and the PIC Hardware

Reference.

Troubleshooting Installation

If you have problems installing the router, try one or more of the following:

No LEDs Light

The most likely reason is that the router is not receiving power. Check the

following:

1. Check that the supply outlet’s switch is in the ON position.

2. Test the mains power outlet to verify that it is working.

If the problem persists, please contact your authorised Allied Telesyn

distributor or reseller.

LEDs Light Incorrectly

If the System LED stays on, the router software has encountered a fatal

condition. Contact your authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller.

cable operation by connecting Txd and Rxd (pins 2 and 3) together at the

router end of the cable. Characters typed on the terminal should be echoed

back to the screen.

2. Are the terminal or terminal emulation software communication

parameters set correctly? Refer to the AR Router Hardware Reference for more

information on setting communications parameters.
