Product Introduction
This chapter provides information about the Foundry AR1202 and AR1204 router front and back panels, LEDs,
cable connection ports, and panel components.
Overview
This section describes front- and back-panel components of the Foundry AR1202 and AR1204 router. Additional
information is also provided in following sections about external cables, wiring, and connection points.
The Foundry AR1202 and AR1204 is designed to provide WAN to LAN networking connectivity for branch office
communication and primary Internet access for medium-size businesses. The AR1202 and AR1204 is a T1/E1
router providing two WAN ports, two 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports, an AUX port, and a local/remote management
Console port. The base system ships with one active WAN port (WAN 1) and one active Ethernet port (FE 0).
Software licence keys may be purchased to activate one additional WAN and/or one Ethernet port. Contact
Foundry sales for more information.

Chapter 3
Installation
This chapter describes how to install and prepare the Foundry AR1202 and AR1204 router for operation.
Information is also provided describing the system front and back panels, operator interface, how to mount the
chassis, and how to connect network and power cables.
Before you install the AR1202 and AR1204, familiarize yourself with the network interface and power connections
described in this chapter.
Site Preparation
Before installing a Foundry AR1202 and AR1204 router, ensure that the site conditions comply with the following
requirements and that the mounting equipment, tools, and cables are available at the installation site.
Environment
Site location is important for the proper operation of the AR1202 and AR1204 router. Place the unit in a clean, dry
environment with adequate air circulation. Allow additional clearance around the system for foot traffic and access
to cable connectors on the rear panel.
Figure 3.1 shows the convection cooling vents on top of the unit. To prevent an over-temperature condition, which
could result in system failure or performance degradation, make sure that these vents are not obstructed.
NOTE: In normal operation, the router will be warm to the touch.
Figure 3.1 Chassis Air Flow
CAUTION: Do not stack routers on top of each other. Doing so will defeat the convection cooling ability of the
router and such action could lead to equipment damage.
Refer to “Specifications” on page A-1 for more information about environmental requirements.
