1 - INSTALLATION
The P850 is an Ethernet Bridge/Router that provides bridging,
IP/IPX routing, and compression over a frame relay permanent virtual
circuit or a PPP leased line circuit..
The following instructions provide a quick set-up guide for installation
of the P850 router
Unpack the P850
Rough handling during shipment can damage electronic equipment.
As you unpack the router, carefully check for signs of damage. If
damage is suspected, contact the shipper. Save the box and all packing
material to protect the 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 router provide all
external connections to the P850 router.

normal office temperature and humidity levels. Air vents located on
the rear of the router must have an inch or so of clearance from any
object. Units should not be stacked.
