You can connect to the Services Router using the J-Web or
CLI interface. You can connect to the CLI from a remote location through
two dial-up modems. For details see, Connecting to the CLI Remotely.
If you plan to use the J-Web interface to configure the Services
Router, you must connect through one of the built-in Ethernet management
ports, as shown in Figure 54 and Figure 55.
When the Services Router is powered on for the first time,
the system looks for a DHCP server, and if it does not find one, it
assigns an IP address within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork
to any devices connected to it.
To connect to the J-Web interface through port 0 on the router (see Figure 54 and Figure 55):
On the management device, such as a PC or laptop,
you use to access the J-Web interface, verify that the address of
the port that you connect to the router is set to one of the following:
An Ethernet address on the 192.168.1/24 subnetwork
other than 192.168.1.1
An Ethernet address from a DHCP server
Turn off the power to the management device.
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet
port on the management device.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to
the built-in Ethernet port on the router.
Power on the router by pressing the power
button on the front panel.
Wait until the STATUS LED on the front
panel turns solid green.
Turn on the power to the management device. The router assigns
an IP address to the management device within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork if the device is configured to use DHCP.
From the management device, open a Web browser
and enter the IP address 192.168.1.1 in the address field.
The Set Up Quick Configuration page appears.
Note:
You must manually configure the IP address for the management
port you are using before you save your initial configuration. When
you save the configuration for the first time, you will lose the connection
to the router if you have not manually configured the IP address.
If you lose connection through the management interface, you must
connect through the console port.

Connecting to the CLI Locally
If you plan to use the CLI to configure the router, you must
connect through the console port, as shown in Figure 56 and Figure 57.
Note:
Figure 56 and Figure 57 show a connection to a local
management device. A remote connection to the router through a modem
requires the cable and connector shown (provided in the router's accessory
box), plus a DB-9 female to DB-25 male (or similar) adapter for your
modem, which you must purchase separately.
To connect to the CLI using a local management device through
the console port on the router:
Turn off power to the router.
Turn off the power to the management device, such
as a PC or laptop computer, that you are using to access the CLI.
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable supplied with
your router into the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter supplied with
your router (see Figure 57).
Plug the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter into
the serial port on the management device (see Figure 57).
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to
the console port on the router (Figure 57).
Turn on the power to the management device.
Start your asynchronous terminal emulation application
(such as Microsoft Windows Hyperterminal) and select the appropriate COM port to use (for example, COM1).
Configure the port settings as follows:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Power on the router by pressing the
power button on the front panel. Verify that the POWER LED
on the front panel turns green.
The terminal emulation screen on your management device displays
the boot sequence. When the router has finished booting, a
login prompt appears.
Log in as the user root. No password is required
at initial connection, but you must assign a root password before
committing any configuration settings.

Connecting to the CLI Remotely
You can connect to the CLI from a remote location through two
dial-up modems: a modem that is connected to the console port on the Services Router and
a second modem connected to a remote management device. The modem
connection allows you to remotely perform the same console operations
you can perform locally.
Note:
These instructions use Hayes-compatible modem commands to configure
the modem. If your modem is not Hayes-compatible, refer to the documentation
for your modem and enter equivalent modem commands.
Before you can connect a dial-up modem to the console port on the Services Router,
you must configure the modem to accept a call on the first ring and
accept Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signals. You must also disable flow
control on the modem.
To configure the modem on the router end:
Connect the modem to a PC or laptop computer.
Power on the modem.
From the PC or laptop computer, start your asynchronous
terminal emulation application (such as Microsoft Windows Hyperterminal)
and select the COM port to which the modem is connected (for
example, COM1).
Configure the port settings as follows:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
In the HyperTerminal
window, enter AT.
An OK response verifies that the modem communicates
successfully with the COM port on the PC or laptop.
To configure the modem to answer a call on the first
ring, enter ATS0=1.
To configure the modem to accept modem control Data
Terminal Ready (DTR) signals, enter AT&D1.
To disable flow control, enter AT&K0.
To save modem settings, enter AT&W.
Connecting the Modem to the Console Port
Note:
Most modems have an RS-232 DB-25 connector. You must separately
purchase an adapter to connect your modem to the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter
and Ethernet cable supplied with the router.
To connect the dial-up modem to the console port on the router:
Turn off power to the router.
Turn off the power to the modem.
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable supplied with
your router into the console port on the router.
Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the
RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter supplied with your router.
Connect the serial port adapter to a separately
purchased DB-9 female to DB-25 male adapter, or other adapter appropriate
for your modem.
Plug the modem adapter into the DB-25 connector
on the modem.
Connect the modem to your telephone network.
Turn on the power to the modem.
Power on the router by pressing the power
button on the front panel. Verify that the POWER LED on the
front panel turns green.
Connecting to the CLI at the User End
To remotely connect to the CLI through a dial-up modem connected
to the console port on the router:
At your remote location, connect a modem to
a management device such as a PC or laptop computer.
On the PC or laptop computer, start your asynchronous
terminal emulation application (such as Microsoft Windows Hyperterminal).
Select the COM port to which the modem
is connected (for example, COM1).
Configure the port settings as follows:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
In the HyperTerminal
window, enter AT.
An OK response verifies that the modem communicates
successfully with the COM port on the PC or laptop.
To dial the modem that is connected to the console port
on the router, enter ATDT remote-modem-number. For example, if the number of the modem connected to the console
port on the router is 0013033033030, enter ATDT 0013033033030.
The router login prompt appears.
Log in as the user root. No password is required
at initial connection, but you must assign a root password before
committing any configuration settings.
