Connecting   Power   and   Turning
On/Off
The AC Power adapter shipped with the device
connects   the   device   to   earth   ground   when
plugged   an   AC   groundingtype   power   outlet.
The device must be connected to earth ground
during normal operation.
To connect power to the device, plug one end of
the AC power core into the AC power appliance
inlet on the back panel of the device. Plug the
other end into an AC power source.
Note: We recommend using a surge protector
for the power connection.
To   power   on   the   DSR1000AC   device,   press
the AC power switch on the rear panel to the on
position.   To   power   off   the   device,   press   the
power switch to the off position.
Connecting the Device to a Network
This   section   provides   basic   information   about
physically   connecting   the   DSR1000AC   to   a
network.   To   connect  the  necessary   cables  as
shown in Figure 5.
1. Connect an RJ45 cable from the port labeled
WAN1 to the external router. The port WAN1 is
preallocated to the WAN1 network segment.
2. Connect an RJ45 cable from the port labeled
LAN   (14)   to   a   switch   in   the   LAN   network
segment.
3.   Connect   an   RJ45toDB9   cable   from   the
console port for CLI (Command Line Interface)
management access.

Initial Configuration
The   Wireless   AC  Services   Router   software   is
preinstalled on the DSR1000AC device. When
the   device   is   powered   on,   it   is   ready   to   be
configured.   While   the   device   has   a   default
factory   configuration   that   allow   you   to   initially
connect to the device, you must perform further
configuration   for   your   specific   network
requirements.
Using the WebUI
To use the WebUI, the workstation from which
you are managing the device must initially be on
the same subnetwork as the device.
