DR6400 Series Installation Guide
12
The router is supplied with two “stub” antennas. Alternatively you may have ordered a
different type of antenna separately. In either case these must be screwed onto the SMA
aerial connectors on the rear of the unit.
When both of these are fitted the operation over the wireless network may be improved,
especially in areas of low signal strength. This is called “diversity” mode. Note that if you
use antennas other than the stub antennas supplied as standard (e.g. two wall-mount
antennas), the separation between the two should be no less than the separation between
the two associated connectors on the rear panel of the unit.
Step 3 – Connecting the LAN cable
Plug one end of one of the supplied CAT5 cable into the RJ45 socket labelled LAN 0.
Plug the other end into the LAN socket on your PC or notebook.
Step 4 – Connecting the serial cable
For connection to a serial terminal device, the DR6410 and DR6420 use standard 25-way
“D” sockets. A suitable cable will be required to connect your terminal device(s) to these
ports. The DR6460 has 6 serial ports which are presented as RJ45 connectors. A range
of suitable cables and adapters are available from Sarian for connecting terminal devices
to these ports.
Step 5 – Connecting the ADSL cable
Plug one end of the supplied cable, or a suitable alternative, into the RJ12 socket labelled
ADSL. Plug the other end into the ADSL line socket.
Step 6 – Connecting to the ISDN line (if applicable)
Plug one end the supplied CAT5 cable into the RJ45 socket labelled ISDN. Plug the other
end into the ISDN service outlet.
Step 7 – Connecting to the PSTN line (if applicable)
Plug one end of the supplied PSTN cable into the RJ45 socket labelled PSTN. Plug the
other end into the PSTN wall socket.
Step 8 – Connecting the power supply
Plug the jack plug on the mains adapter into the socket labelled 12V DC BEFORE
connecting the power adapter to the mains supply and applying power. When power is
first applied, the ON indicator will illuminate and the unit will initiate a series of diagnostic
self-tests. During this process one or more of the other indicators will flash to show that
the unit is busy. When the flashing stops, the unit is ready to use.
The unit is now ready to be configured.

3 Configuration
Once the unit has been installed and powered up, you must now configure it so that it can
communicate with your network and the Internet.
The easiest way to configure the unit is to use the Sarian Connection Wizard, located on
the CD-ROM. The Sarian Connection Wizard will take you step-by-step through the
process of configuring your router. Using the wizard means that you will not have to
change the IP address of your PC. Rather, you will be able to change the IP address of
the router to match the subnet your PC is already on.
Note: The default IP address for the LAN 0 port is 192.168.0.99, with a default Class C
subnet mask (255.255.255.0). Setting your PC’s IP address to one on the same subnet
(192.168.0.*) will enable you to connect to the unit’s Web interface. You will then be able
to configure the unit manually.
Step 1 – Install the Connection Wizard
Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM’s menu should automatically
appear. If it does not, open My Computer, and double-click on you CD-ROM drive icon.
Click on Install, and follow the on-screen instructions in order to install the Sarian
Connection Wizard onto your PC.
Step 2 – Run the Wizard
Once the wizard has been installed on your PC, start it by clicking Start >All Programs >
Sarian Systems >Sarian Connection Wizard >Sarian Connection Wizard.
Step 3 – Decide which configuration method to use
Choose to either configure the unit’s Ethernet port only, or configure the unit’s Ethernet
port and at the same time connect it to your wireless network.
If you choose to configure the unit’s Ethernet port only, you must have completed all the
installation steps listed in the previous section.
Step 4 – Configure the unit
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the unit according to the method you have
chosen. Once complete you will be able to browse to the unit and configure it using your
web browser.
