harmful interference in which case the user is required to correct the problem at his or her own expense.
Canadian DOC Notice:
The Cyclades-PR3000 does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out
in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le Cyclades-PR3000 n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils
numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique edicté par le Ministère
des Communications du Canada.

Installation Manual
CHAPTER 1 HOW TO USE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL
Three Cyclades manuals are related to the PR3000.
1 The Quick Installation Manual -- provided with the router,
2 The Installation Manual -- available electronically on the Cyclades web site,
3 The CyROS Reference Guide -- also available electronically on the Cyclades web site.
CyROS stands for the Cyclades Routing Operating System. It is the operating system for all Cyclades Power
Routers (PR2000, PR3000, and PR4000).
CyROS is constantly evolving, and the menus in this manual might be slightly different from the menus in the
router. The latestversionofall three manuals(andthe latest versionofCyROS) can bedownloadedfrom Cyclades’
web site. All manuals indicate on the second page the manual version and the corresponding version of CyROS.
The manual should be read in the order written, with exceptions given in the text. The most important chapters for
new users are :
Chapter 2 – What is in the Box
- explains how the router should be connected.
Chapter 3 – Using Menus - describes CyROS menu navigation.
Chapter 4 –Step-by-Step Instructions forCommon Applications-guide toconfiguration with detailedexamples.
Appendix A - Troubleshooting - provides solutions and tests for typical configuration problems.
If the network being configured is similar to one of the examples in chapter 4, only the above chapters may be
necessary. The rest of the chapters contain the following information:
Chapters 5 to 12 – Basic router configuration information for applications that do not fit any of the examples in
chapter 4.

Chapter 1 - How to Use This Installation Manual
Installation Manual
Chapter 13 – CyROS - shows how to set router specific parameters and create lists of hosts and users.
Chapter 14 – Network Address Translation - describes CyROS’ NAT implementation.
Chapter 15 – Filters and Rules - demonstrates how to protect your router from undesired traffic.
Chapter 16 – IPX - presents the hidden menus available only in routers with IPX activated.
Chapter 17 – Virtual Private Network - describes CyROS’ VPN implementation.
Installation Assumptions
This Installation Manual assumes that the reader understands networking basics and is familiar with the terms
and concepts used in Local Area and Wide Area Networking.
Text Conventions
Common text conventions are used. A summary is presented below:

Cyclades-PR3000 Installation Manual
The PR3000 can include 0, 1, 2, or 3 SWAN boards. There are two types of SWAN boards: one with a SCSI-II port
(SWAN) and the other with a DB-25 female port (SWAN RSV).
A straight cable or a V.35 cable set can be purchased separately for the SWAN RSV card. The uses of these
cables and how they should be connected are demonstrated in Figure 2.2.

Cyclades-PR3000 Installation Manual
The PR3000 can include 0, or 1 Z-Bus board. Each Z-Bus board is sold in combination with 1, 2, 3, or 4 SE16
modules. The items included are shown in Figures 2.4 and 2.5, and listed below.
•one to four Serial Expander 16s (SE16),
•one SCSI cable per SE16,
•one rack-mounting kit per SE16,
•one power cord and one power supply if 3 to 4 SE16s are purchased, and
•one loop-back cable for testing purposes.
ATTENTION! The cables between the router and the serial expander should be connected ONLY
when ALL devices are turned OFF. The serial expander's power supply does not have an on / off
switch, so the power cable should be disconnected for this step.
An asynchronous modem cable, to connect a serial port of the SE16 to external equipment, can be purchased
separately from Cyclades.

Chapter 3 - Using CyROS Menus 20
CHAPTER 3. USING CYROS MENUS
This chapter explains CyROS menu navigation and special keys.
The first step is to connect a PC or terminal to the router using the console cable. If using a PC, HyperTerminal
can be used in the Windows operating system or Kermit in the Unix operating system. The terminal parameters
should be set as follows:
•Serial Speed: 9600 bps
•Data Length: 8 bits
•Parity: None
•Stop Bits: 1 stop bit
•Flow Control: Hardware flow control or none
The second step is to log in. The super-user user ID is “super” and the corresponding password is “surt”. The
password should be changed as soon as possible, as described in chapter 13 of the installation manual. The
login prompts and main menu are shown in the figure.
