Powering Up the Router

Connect the supplied power cord to the front of the VSR and set the power switch to “On.”  At 
power-up, the router will take approximately one minute to become visible to CompatiView.

Note:

 If you want to use Telnet as a management method, you must first configure an IP 

address into the router with either an out-of-band console, CompatiView, or with a recon-
figured IP host or workstation on the same Ethernet segment as the router.  See the appropriate 
VSR chassis section of the manual for more information on Command Line Management.
