Ensure the following before powering on the router:
The power cables are correctly connected.
The DC input voltage is in the range of 9.6 V to 60 V.
NOTE For more information about indicators, see the Hardware Description.
NOTE For more information about indicators, see the Hardware Description.

Powering On the Router
1
Ensure the following before powering on the router:
The power cables are correctly connected.
The AC input voltage is in the range of 90 V to 290 V (single-phase) or 304 V to 456 V (three-phase).
NOTE Some routers use DC power supply and require that the DC input voltage be in the range of 9.6 V to 60 V.
If the AR531GPe-U-H, AR531GR-U-H, and AR531G-U-D-H have been placed in a low-temperature environment
(below -20°C) for more than 1.5 hours before they are powered on, their 3G module can work normally 20 minutes
after startup.

Logging In to the Router
Use a console cable to connect a PC to the console interface of the router.
1
NOTE 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.
Start the terminal simulation software, create a connection, specify the connected port, and set
communication parameters as follows:
2
Bits per second (B): 9600
Data bits (D): 8
Parity (P): None
Stop bits (S): 1
Flow control (F): None
NOTE The default user name is admin and the default password is Admin@huawei.
Press Enter until a message is displayed asking you to enter the username and password. (The following
information is for reference only.)
3
Now, the management IP address of the router is set to 192.168.1.1.
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 system, perform the following steps (only applicable to AR530 and
AR550 series industrial switching routers of V200R005C70 and later versions).
4
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.
5
If you forget the login password, restore the password according to the Troubleshooting.
