4 Site Environment
Do not place this product in an environment with flammable or explosive gases, or smoke.
The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water or heavy dew. If the relative humidity is high,
use dehumidifiers or air conditioners with dehumidification features.
The installation site must be well ventilated, and the air vents of the router must not be blocked.
Do not place the router in a dusty environment.
Leave more than 100 mm clearance at two sides and the rear of the router for heat dissipation.
5 Installing the Router
Scenario 1: Installing 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
Place the router's real panel in front of the DIN rail and
ensure that the DIN rail fits in between the fixture near the
top of the router and spring latch near the bottom.
Make the router incline forward with the bottom away
from the DIN rail, and place the fixture at the rear of the
router on the top of the DIN rail.
Slowly push the router toward the DIN rail to make the
spring latch at the rear of the router move down. The
spring latch then bounces back to fix the router on the DIN
rail.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Scenario 2: Installing the Router in a Cabinet (Using a 550 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.
Before You Start
If the spring latch is too tight to move down, you can pull down the spring latch during the installation.
NOTE

3
Installation Procedure
Install two floating nuts on each front mounting rail of the cabinet. Leave four mounting holes between the
two floating nuts on the same mounting rail.
Step 1
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
Attach the brackets of the 550 horizontal rack-mounting kit on the front mounting rails of the cabinet and
insert M6 screws in the mounting holes. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the lower M6 screws and then
the upper ones to fix the rack-mounting kit.
Step 2
Place the rear panel of the router in front of the DIN rail on the rack-mounting kit and ensure that the DIN rail
fits in between the fixture near the top of the router and the spring latch near the bottom.
Make the router incline forward with the bottom away from the DIN rail, and place the fixture at the rear of
the router on the top of the DIN rail.
Slowly push the router toward the DIN rail to make the spring latch at the rear of the router move down. The
spring latch then bounces back to fix the router on the DIN rail.
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
If the spring latch is too tight to move down, you can use a flat-head screwdriver to hold down the spring latch during the
installation.
NOTE
Scenario 3: Using a Vertical Rack-Mounting Bracket to Install an AR550E Router into an F01S200 Cabinet
Installation Procedure
On each front mounting rail, install two floating nuts in the fifth and eighth mounting holes counted from the
left.
Step 1

You can use a flat-head screwdriver to install floating nuts.
NOTE
4
Mount the router on the vertical rack-mounting bracket.
a. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the seven M4 screws at the back of the router.
b. Align the seven M4 mounting holes on the vertical rack-mounting bracket with those at the back of the
router.
c. Use M4 screws to fix the router on the vertical rack-mounting bracket.
Move the router and vertical rack-mounting bracket into the cabinet. Use the Phillips screwdriver to tighten
the M6 screws on a diagonal line on the vertical rack-mounting bracket, and then tighten the M6 screws
on the other diagonal line.

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.

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 RUN 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:
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.
