• The VOE210 contains no user serviceable parts. The
equipment shall be returned to Black Box for repairs,
or repaired by qualified service personnel.
• Mains Voltage: Do not open the case the power cord
is attached. The external power adaptor shall be a
listed limited power source that incorporates a dis-
connect device and shall be positioned within easy
reach of the operator. The mains outlet shall be
within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be eas-
ily accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker.
• For AC powered units, ensure that the power cable
used meets all applicable standards for the country
in which it is to be installed, and that it is connected
to a wall outlet which has earth ground.
• Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN
ports regardless of whether power to the VOE210 is
ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock, use caution when
near WAN ports. when detaching the cables, detach
the end away from the VOE210 first.
• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect
cables during periods of lightning activity.
In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/96/EC on Waste of

1. Power up the VOE210
1. Connect theVOE210 to the mains (AC) power source with the power cable.
2. When the Power LED stops blinking and remains lit, the VOE210 is ready
to configure.

2. Connect the VOE210 to your local network
Figure 1.
Connecting the VOE210 to the PC
1. Connect the PC’s Ethernet port to LAN (ETH 0/1) port of the VOE210. The
VOE210 Series is equipped withAuto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use
straight-through Ethernet cables for host or hub/switch connections. (See
Figure 1.)
2. The VOE210 comes with a built-in DHCP server to simplify configuration.
Therefore, to automatically configure the PC for IP connectivity to the
VOE210, configure the laptop PC for DHCP. TheVOE210 will provide the
PC with an IP address.
3. Check the connection to theVOE210 by executing the ping command from
the PC command window as follows:
ping 192.168.1.1
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for
the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flam-
mability, and mechanical serviceability.

3. Configuring the desired IP address
3.1 Factory-default IP settings
The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and net-
masks are listed in table 1 . Both Ethernet interfaces are activated upon power-up.
LAN interface ETH 0/1 (LAN) provides a default DHCP server. The WAN inter-
face uses DHCP client to get the IP address and netmask automatically from the
service provider.
If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section “Connecting
the VOE210 to the network” on page 7. Otherwise, continue with the following
sections to change the addresses and network masks.
3.2 Login
1. To access the VOE210, start the Telnet application on your PC. Type the
default IP address into the address field: 192.168.1.1 . Accessing your
VOE210 via a Telnet session displays the login screen. Type the factory
default login: administrator and leave the password empty. Press the Enter
key after the password prompt.
login: administrator
password:<Enter>
192.168.1.1>
2. After you log in, your VOE210 will be running in operator execution mode
(indicated by > character in the command line prompt). To enter configura-
tion mode, use the commands enable and configure .
192.168.1.1> enable
192.168.1.1# configure

3.3 Changing the WAN IP address
1. To modify IP configuration settings, you must enter context IP mode. Enter
the following command:
192.168.1.1(cfg)# context ip router
192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]#
2. Now you can set your IP address and network mask for the interface ETH
0/0(WAN) . In this example a network 172.16.1.0/24 is assumed. The IP
address in example is set to 172.16.1.99 . (You should set it to the IP address
that the network provider has given you.)
Note The examples in this guide use a private IP network with the network
address 172.16.1.0/24 .
192.168.1.1(ctx-ip)[router]# interface eth0
192.168.1.1(if-ip)[eth0]# ipaddress 172.16.1.99 255.255.255.0
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link down on interface eth0.
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link up on interface eth0.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
3. Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This
will store your changes in non-volatile memory. On the next start-up the
system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.
172.16.1.99 (if-ip)[eth0]# copy running-config startup-config
172.16.1.99 (if-ip)[eth0]#
The VOE210 can now be connected to your network.

4. Connecting the VOE210 to the network
In general, theVOE210 will connect to the network via theWAN (ETH 0/0) port.
This enables the VOE210 to offer routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH
0/1) port. TheVOE210 Series provides an auto-MDX feature for both Ethernet
ports, so you can use a straight-through or cross-over cable to connect to a host or
a switch (see Figure 2) .
Figure 2. Connecting the VOE210 to the network
1. You can check the connection with the ping command from the VOE210 to
another host on the local LAN.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#ping <IP Address of the host>
Note If the WAN address is not set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your
local LAN you must first configure the default gateway.
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for
the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flam-
mability, and mechanical serviceability.

5. Loading the configuration (optional)
Black Box provides a collection of configuration templates on the CD-ROM
shipped with your VOE210 device, one of which may be similar enough to your
application that you can use it to speed up configuring the VOE210. Simply
download the configuration note that matches your application to your PC.Adapt
the configuration as described in the configuration note to your network (remem-
ber to modify the IP address) and copy the modified configuration to a TFTP
server. The VOE210 can now load its configuration from this server.
Note If your application is unique and not covered by any of Black Box’s con-
figuration templates, you can manually configure the VOE210 instead of
loading a configuration file template.
In this example we assume anTFTP server resides on the host with the IP address
172.16.1.11 and the configuration file named VOE.cfg resides in the root direc-
tory of the TFTP server.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]# copy tftp://172.16.1.11/VOE.cfg star-
tup-config
Download...100%
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]#
After you reboot the VOE210 the new startup configuration will become active.
172.16.1.99(if-ip)[eth0]# reload
Running configuration has been changed.
Do you want to copy the 'running-config' to the 'startup-con-
fig'?
Press 'yes' to store, 'no' to drop changes : no
Press 'yes' to restart, 'no' to cancel : yes
The system is going down
When you issue the reload command, the VOE210 will ask if you want to copy the
running configuration to the startup configuration. Since you just downloaded a con-
figuration file to the startup configuration you must answer this question with NO .
Otherwise, the downloaded configuration will be overwritten and lost!

A.2 Radio and TV Interference
The VOE210 router generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not
installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions—may cause interference to radio and television reception. The
VOE210 router have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B computing device in accordance with specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of
FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such inter-
ference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation. If the VOE210 router does cause
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by discon-
necting the unit, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from
the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving
equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and
receiver are on different branches).
