About This Guide
This guide describes how to set up the IBM 2210, perform the initial configuration,
and identify and correct any problems that occur during the installation.
The IBM 2210 has multiple connectors (ports) on the rear of the unit. This guide
tells you how to attach the correct cable to each port to complete the physical
installation of the IBM 2210.
In order for the IBM 2210 to communicate with other devices in the WAN, it must
be configured with some basic information about its location (address). The IBM
2210 may have been pre-configured at the factory and, if so, it will automatically
configure itself at the end of the initial power-on. If the IBM 2210 requires manual
configuration, this guide describes three alternative ways to configure it.
Who Should Use This Guide
This guide is intended for the person responsible for installing the IBM 2210 and
performing simple configuration tasks when assisted by a network administrator.
