Installation
This chapter details installation procedures for the DI-1162/DI-1162M router.
Overview
The DI-1162/DI-1162M can be configured in two ways; through a direct serial connection (a console), or
remotely, through the included Router Configuration Utility, Telnet, etc. Please note that if you wish to remotely
configure the router, you must still use a console to initially configure the LAN or WAN port for a remote
connection.
In general, the installation procedures are as follows:
1. Physically install the router into an equipment rack or onto a desktop.
2. Configure the router through a console.
3. Power off the router and console.
4. Plug in all cables and connectors (LAN, WAN, etc.).
5. Power on all devices.
Each of the above items is discussed in detail below.
Note: Your LAN does not need to be powered down when making a LAN connection to the router via the RJ-45
port. However, when connecting devices to the WAN or Diagnostic (console) ports please make sure the router
and the other devices are turned off before making the connection.
