Quick Start Recommendations
The following description is included to aid those users experienced with
communications equipment that may wish to attempt to configure the router without
fully reading the guide.
1. Locate/mount the chassis in its final resting place and apply power.
2. The router can be configured through its web management interface, or for
advanced users, through ssh. The default Ethernet addresses for ports one through
four are 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.4.1. Two shell accounts, rrsetup and root,
are provided. Both accounts have a default password of “admin”. The web
management interface uses the root account password. The rrsetup account
provides a shell that configures such items as passwords, addresses, date/time
and services offered by the router. The root account provides a full shell.
3. Attach a PC running terminal emulation software to the RS232 port and apply
power to the chassis (default baud rate, data bits, parity - “38400 8 n 1”, no
hardware/software flow control). Set the terminal type to VT100. Press ENTER
to obtain a login prompt.
Initial Configuration Before Attaching To The Network
4. Login as the rrsetup user with password “admin”.
5. Change the root and rrsetup passwords from the shell. Record the
passwords in a secure manner. If Radius authentication will be employed,
configure at least one authentication server address.
6. Configure the router’s hostname, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway addresses
for the built-in Ethernet ports.
7. For an RX1100 router, the Gauntlet Security application may be configured with
the passphrase allocated to the network the network address of the Command and
Control Center (CCC). Note that you must also configure and activate the
firewall before using the Gauntlet.
8. Ensure that the date, time and timezone fields are correctly set.
9. If Web or SSH services will not be used, these can be disabled from the setup
shell.

10. All further configuration is accomplished through the web management interface.
Attach the configuring host to one of the Ethernet ports configured above. Point
your web browser at the address for that port, use https and specify a port number
of 10000, e.g. https://192.168.1.1:10000 (or otherwise if configured in step 4).
Login with the root user and password (configured above). If radius
authentication is configured and a server is available, you may also login via a
radius user.
Basic Web Based Configuration
11. Change the router password from the System menu, Change Password sub-
menu.
12. If you are using the web management interface you may wish to restrict the
allowed users to a specific subnet. This can be done in the Webmin menu,
Webmin Configuration, IP Access Control sub-menu.
13. If you are planning to SSH in to the router you may wish to restrict the allowed
users to a specific subnet. This can be done in the Servers menu, SSH Server,
Networking sub-menu.
14. The router's local hostname may configured in the System Menu, System
Hostname sub-menu.
15. The router may be configured to log to a remote server by the Maintenance
menu, System Logs sub-menu. See the chapter “Maintaining The Router” for
more details.
16. The router's DNS settings may configured in the DNS Clients sub-menu. You
may also specify the IP addresses of frequently used hosts. See the chapter
“Configuring Networking” for more details.
Physical Interface Related
17. Ethernet port parameters may be changed in the Networking menu, Ethernet
sub-menu. The Ethernet Interfaces sub-menu will configure the IP address,
subnet mask, gateway address, proxy arping and media type of each interface. See
the chapter “Configuring Ethernet Interfaces” for more details.
18. If your router is equipped with T1/E1 WAN interfaces, the Networking menu,
T1/E1 sub-menu will allow you to configure them with Frame Relay or PPP
connections. See the chapter “Configuring Frame Relay/PPP And T1/E1” for
more details.
19. If your router is equipped with T3 WAN interfaces, the Networking menu, T3
sub-menu will allow you to configure them with Frame Relay or PPP
connections. See the chapter “Configuring Frame Relay/PPP And T3” for more
details.
20. If your router is equipped with DDS interfaces, the Networking menu, DDS sub-
menu will allow you to configure them with Frame Relay or PPP connections.
See the chapter “Configuring Frame Relay/PPP And DDS” for more details.
21. If your router is equipped with ADSL interfaces, the Networking menu, ADSL
sub-menu will allow you to configure them. See the chapter “Configuring PPPoE
On ADSL” for more details. If you wish to use PPPOE with an external ADSL
modem, the Networking menu, Ethernet sub-menu will configure it.
