Introduction to the DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP 1 Introduction to the DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP The DS3-Quad 10/100 Routing Input/Output Processor (RIOP), as part of the VSR multigi- gabit switching router, allows you to connect a remote corporate network and up to four local Ethernet segments. The DS3 interface has a data capacity of 44.736 Mbps, while the Ethernet interfaces can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. This section of the manual contains information specific to the DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP

Chapter 1 - Network Installation 2 Chapter 1 - Network Installation DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP Front Panel This section of the manual will help you install the DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP to connect a local Ethernet and remote corporate network. These connections can be made to other Compatible Systems routers or routers from other vendors. In summary, the steps for installation are: 1. After mounting the router or placing on a desktop, make sure it is not connected to any power source. 2. Connect the r

Chapter 1 - Network Installation 3 Note: The DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP includes loopback features which can be used to check the functionality of your DS3 line. Before attempting to route network traffic, use these features to check the line’s basic integrity. Connecting the DS3-Quad 10/100 to a DS3 Line The DS3 line port consists of two 75 ohm BNC female coaxial connectors labeled DS3 XMT and DS3 RCV. To connect the router to the DS3 line, you need two AT&T type 734A or equiv- alent coaxial c

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 4 Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions This Quickstart chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in order to use the DS3-Quad 10/100 RIOP as part of your VSR multigigabit switching router. Detailed information on the meaning of the router’s parameters is provided in the Compa- tiView Management Software Reference Guide and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide. You should use this chapter as a starti
