INSTALLING the OverLAN ROUTER
Task 2: Connect your router to a computer
(running terminal software) or to an ASCII
terminal.
Step 1:
Connect the supplied 9-pin end of an RS-232
communications cable.
Figure 4
Step 2:
Connect the other end of the cable into the COM port of a
computer (running terminal software) or to an ASCII
terminal -- see figure 4. If you are using the included
RJ-11-to-DB25 cable, a 25-9 pin adaptor may be needed for
the 25-pin end of the cable, if your computer has only a
9-pin port.
This completes Task 2.
In this task, you will configure the router from a local console port.
However, you may skip this task and configure the router using
OverLAN Commander from a Windows PC on the Ethernet.
