INTRODUCTION ♦ The SmartSwitch™ Router 250 The SmartSwitch™ Router 250 provides Internet and Corporate access for telecommuters, home and remote office workers, and Internet users at high-speed asymmetrical data rates of up to 640 Kbps upstream and 8.0 Mbps downstream. The router takes full advantage of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology and uses Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) to provide remote Ethernet LAN connectivity via a single ADSL line.
♦ This Guide This guide describes the configuration process involved in setting up an ATM-based virtual circuit connection to a network service provider. It shows you how to: 4 • Connect the router’s cables • Configure your Windows 95 PC (or Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.
♦ Before You Begin... System requirements for Cabletron Quick Start • Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, or Windows for Workgroups 3.
Which network options should you use? ♦ • Bridging • IP Routing • Both Bridging and IP Routing Contents of the Box You should find the following items: • SmartSwitch™ Router CD and Quick Start guide (this guide) • SmartSwitch™ Router 250 • Cables: One power cable One Ethernet 10Base-T (crossover) cable One ADSL/ISDN cable 6
HARDWARE INSTALLATION ♦ Instructions to Install the SmartSwitch™ Router 250 Hardware: 1. Ensure that the Power Switch on the router is OFF. Connect the router to the AC power source using the power cable. 2. Connect the router to the computer workstation’s Ethernet card using the crossover cable labeled "Ethernet 10Base-T, Crossover" (RJ-45 connector). If you are connecting to a hub, use a standard 10Base-T straight-through cable (not provided). 3.

ACCESSING QUICK START To access Quick Start, you will first configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically and then install the Quick Start program. The following step-by-step instructions will get you started quickly. ♦ Configure your Windows 95 PC for TCP/IP This section assumes that you have already: ✔ connected the cables. ✔ powered the router on. Note:The following configuration instructions also apply to Windows 98 and NT 4.0.
Instructions: 1. You should see the Network Neighborhood icon on your desktop. Note:If you don’t see the Network Neighborhood icon on your desktop, you need to install an Ethernet adapter. Refer to Appendix A. 10 2. From the taskbar, click the Start button, select Settings, ➤Control Panel, ➤ Network. 3. You are now in the Network window. In the Configuration tab page, double-click TCP/IP (to configure your network adapter). 4.
5. Click OK. 6. Answer Yes to "Do you want to restart your computer?" Your computer will reboot. (Note: If your settings were already configured with these attributes, you will not be prompted to reboot and a reboot is not necessary.) ♦ Install Cabletron DSL Tools on your PC This section assumes that you have already: ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ connected the cables. powered the router on. set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically. rebooted your PC. Instructions: Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0: 1. From your PC’s desktop, double-click My Computer. 2. Double-click the Cabletron icon (your CD-ROM drive). 3. Double-click index.htm. 4.

ROUTER CONFIGURATION After you have started the Quick Start application and have entered your password, you are ready to enter the following information in the Quick Start configurator. ♦ Configuration Instructions 1. Network Options Select either IP Routing, or Bridging, or both. 2.
If IP routing and NAT are enabled, you will be prompted to enter a Source WAN IP Address. You will obtain this information from your ISP or your Network Administrator. If NAT is OFF, you may still need to enter Source WAN IP Address information. You will obtain this information from your ISP or your Network Administrator. • RFC 1483MER (MAC Encapsulated Routing) If MER is selected, you will be prompted to enter a Source WAN IP Address.
5. • Domain Name • Server Address • Second Server Options The following options are also available for further configuration of the router. Click Options Menu to access them. • Select Router to Configure This application will attempt to contact the default IP address of the router (192.168.254.254). You may also reconnect to another router with a different IP address. • Change your LAN IP Settings This field allows you to specify the LAN IP address of the router that you are configuring.
• Choose a PVC The Quick Start application defaults the VPI/VCI numbers to 0 and 38 respectively, unless they have been preconfigured. Your Network Service Provider may have decided on different values to use. If the value chosen by your NSP is not the default value, then enter the VPI/VCI that you have been given. • SNMP Options The Community Name and UDP Port Number may be changed for security reasons or to allow SNMP monitoring of a device located on the LAN while running NAT.
• Execute Script The router copies command files created on the PC and then executes them on its first startup. • Backup/Upgrade Upgrade / Backup allows you to backup the router’s configuration files as well as easily upgrade the router’s software (using a built-in TFTP utility). • Reboot from Network This tool allows you to try a new version of software before committing to it by loading this new software from your PC without writing it to the router’s file system.
8. Restart your PC After the router has successfully rebooted, you must restart your PC if you have entered DNS information (see Step 4): the PC will acquire the DNS (Domain Name Server) information from the router. If you need additional help or information: Use the Help File (Help button on the screen or press the F1 key on your PC keyboard).
APPENDIX A. INSTALLING AN ETHERNET ADAPTER AND A TCP/IP PROTOCOL In most cases, Plug and Play will automatically detect your network adapter and install any necessary drivers. However, if Plug and Play fails, the instructions below will assist you in installation and setup for the adapter and protocol settings in Windows 95. ♦ Windows 95 - Instructions to configure an Ethernet adapter and protocols: This section assumes that Windows 95 has already been successfully installed on your computer.
