5 Installing the Router
Scenario 1: Mounting the Router on a DIN Rail
Before the installation, ensure that the DIN rail has been secured in position.
The router is placed near the DIN rail for convenient movement.
Before You Start
Installation Procedure
Screw lock nuts on the hex bolts and fix the hex bolts on the mounting bracket.
Hang the mounting bracket on the DIN rail.
Use a combination wrench to screw the two hex bolts on the mounting bracket. When the DIN rail is fixed with
the raised hex bolts, tighten the lock nuts by rotating the wrench counterclockwise.
Align an M4x20 screw with the topmost tapped hole on the mounting bracket, and screw it about 5 mm into
the tapped hole with a Phillips screwdriver.
Use two M4x20 screws to fix the stainless steel sheet on the router.
Loosen the screws on the front top cover with the Phillips screwdriver, remove the front top cover, and keep it
in an appropriate place for later use.
Hang the router onto the topmost screw on the mounting bracket and adjust position of the router to align
the mounting holes on the router with those on the mounting bracket. Use two M4x30 screws to fix the router
onto the mounting bracket and tighten the topmost screw on the mounting bracket.

Scenario 3: Mounting the Router in a Cabinet (Using a 530 Horizontal Rack-Mounting Kit)
There must be a clearance larger than or equal to the router's width at the left and right of the router after the
installation. The clearance above the router must be at least two times the router's height and the clearance
below the router must be greater than or equal to the router's height.
The 530 horizontal rack-mounting kit, floating nuts, M4 screws, and M6 screws are not included in the
installation accessory package and needs to be purchased separately.

Hang the router onto the topmost screw on the 530 horizontal rack-mounting kit and adjust position of
the router to align the mounting holes on the router with those on the rack-mounting kit. Use two M4x30
screws to fix the router onto the rack-mounting kit and tighten the top.

The length of six adjacent mounting holes may not be 2 U. Observe the scale ticks on the mounting rails when installing floating
nuts.
You can use a flat-head screwdriver to install floating nuts.
NOTE
Use the Phillips screwdriver to install M6 screws on the two lower floating nuts, and leave 2 mm of the
screws out of the floating nuts.
Move the router into the cabinet with one hand supporting bottom of the router, and hook the brackets at
both sides of the mounting kit on the M6 screws.
Use the Phillips screwdriver to tighten the lower M6 screws and then the upper M6 screws.

6 Connecting the Router
Do not connect cables while the power is on.
Do not power on the router before you finish connecting and routing cables.
Invisible laser beams will cause eye damage. Do not look into bores of optical modules or connectors of
optical fibers without eye protection.
For details about pin assignments and cable connections, see the Hardware Description.

7 Logging In to the Router for the First Time
Before You Start
If your PC's operating system provides terminal simulation software (like HyperTerminal in Windows 2000), you
do not need to install additional terminal simulation software. If the PC runs on an operating system without
terminal simulation software (like Windows 7), install third-party terminal simulation software on the PC by
referring to user manual or online help.
A PC may have more than one serial port. Select the port connected to the console port. Generally, COM1 is
used. If you modify the serial port communication parameters on the router, modify the communication
parameters on the PC to ensure that they use the same communication parameters, and then set up the
connection again.
If the web page is displayed abnormally, the browser version may be too low. Upgrade the browser and log in
to the web platform using Mozilla Firefox 12.0 or later, Google Chrome 23 or later, or Internet Explorer 8.0 or
later.
The login page varies according to version.

Login Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Turn on the power switch on the external power supply and log in to the
router after the PWR indicator steady green (indicating that the system
power supply is normal) and RUN/ALM indicator slow blinking green
(indicating that the system is running properly).
Use a console cable to connect a PC to the console interface of the router.
Start the terminal simulation software, create a connection, specify the
connected port, and set communication parameters as follows:
Transmission rate: 9600
Data bit (B): 8
Parity bit: None
Stop bit (S): 1
Flow control mode: None
Step 4 Press Enter until a message is displayed asking you to enter the username and password. (The following
information is for reference only.)
Login authentication
Username:admin
Password:
<Huawei>
Info:The entered password is the same as the default. You are advised to
change it to ensure security.
After successful login, you can configure the router on the command line interface. For more information, see the
CLI-based Configuration.
To configure the router using the web-based management system, perform the following steps.
Connect a PC to the management interface of the router using an Ethernet cable.
Configure a management IP address for the router.
For example, set the management IP address to 192.168.1.1/24 on GE0/0/0.
