Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration
Guide
This chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in
order to use the router.
Detailed information on the meaning of the router’s parameters is
provided in the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide
and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management
Reference Guide. You should use this list as a starting point to look up
more specific information in the other documents.
If you need more general information on IP or wide area protocols, see
the Appendices in the CompatiView Management Software Reference
Guide.
There are a number of parameter settings which are optional, in the
sense that they are not required for all installations. These settings are
not covered in this chapter.
In this chapter:
CV = CompatiView
TB = Text-Based Configuration
In order to successfully connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP),
you must use router configuration parameters which will be provided by
the technical staff of the ISP. These parameters must include all IP
addresses, WAN settings, and any applicable authorization routines.
Please check with your ISP before configuring or changing the configu-
ration of your MicroRouter 900i.
Ethernet Interface Configuration
Ethernet interfaces are considerably easier to set up than wide area
interfaces since there are fewer choices that need to be made regarding
communications protocols and parameters. We recommend that you
begin by configuring any Ethernet interface parameters before
proceeding to configure WAN interface parameters.
