Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is
permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunication company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or
alteration made by the user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to

SECTION 1
INSTALLATION
The P840 is an ISDN Ethernet Bridge/Router that provides bridging,
IP/IPX routing, and compression over a PPP ISDN connection and
support an ISDN BRI interface via an integral ISDN-ST or ISDN-U link
module. The ISDN BRI interface supports two 64 Kbps B-channels.
Two analog telephone connections are also available when the voice port
module is included on a unit with voice support.
The following instructions provide a quick set-up guide for installation of
the P840 Router:
Unpack the P840 Router
Rough handling during shipment can damage electronic equipment. As
you unpack the bridge/router, carefully check for signs of damage. If
damage is suspected, contact the shipper. Save the box and all packing
material to protect the bridge/router should it ever need to be moved or
returned for service.
Check the packing slip that identifies the components and the LAN
connector. The connectors on the rear of the bridge/router provide all
external connections to the P840 Router.
Select a Site
Place the bridge/router in a well-ventilated area. The site should
maintain normal office temperature and humidity levels. Air vents
located on the rear of the bridge/router must have an inch or so of
clearance from any object.
