1.4 Installation Requirements and
Recommendations
Before installing a Mobility Router, follow these requirements and recommendations.
1.4.1 Installation Location Guidelines
The Mobility Router should be installed in an environment sufficient for normal operation of
network appliances (50-95°F). Make sure that the area allows for enough ventilation after the
Mobility Router is installed. The appliance should be installed in an area that does not exceed
the following humidity range: 8-90% non-condensing.
1.4.2 Rack Requirements
The Mobility Router must be installed in a 19-inch rack. Make sure that the Mobility Router
is installed in the rack so that the Mobility Router is level in the rack. Refer to “Installing the
Mobility Router” on page 5 for installation instructions
1.4.3 Required Equipment for Installation
The following equipment is required for rack installation (and depends on the type of rack):
Mounting screws to rack mount the Mobility Router (not provided)
Screwdriver (not provided)
1.4.4 Uninterruptible Power Supply
We recommend installing the Mobility Router in an existing Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) infrastructure.

1.5 Installing the Mobility Router
Perform the following steps to install the Mobility Router:
Assembling the Rack Rails on page 5
Installing Rails to the Chassis on page 5
Attaching the Rack Rails to the Rack on page 6
Installing the Mobility Router into the Rack on page 7
1.5.1 Assembling the Rack Rails
Assemble the rack rails that were included with the Mobility Router before attaching them to
the rack. Each rack rail consists of two rails—one short rail and one long rail.
To assemble the rack rails:
1Insert the guide pins of the long rail in the keyhole slots on the short rail.
2Slide the long rail so that the rack rail assembly is locked.
3Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the other rack rail.
Figure 1-3. Assembling a Rack Rail
1.5.2 Installing Rails to the Chassis
Attach the rear inner rails to the chassis. The rear inner rails are labeled with “Back” and an
arrow, indicating which way the rail should be facing. Figure 1-4 shows how to install rear
inner rails.

Figure 1-4. Installing Rear Inner Rails
To install the rear inner rails:
1On one side of the Mobility Router, position one of the rear inner rails so that the arrow
next to the “Back” text is pointing toward the back of the chassis. The side with the arrow
and text faces away from the Mobility Router.
2Align the four square holes on the rear inner rail with the hooks on the right side of the
Mobility Router.
3Slide the rail toward the front inner rail so that the holes of the rail line up with the holes
on the Mobility Router.
4Attach the rail to the Mobility Router using M4 flat head screws.
5For the other side of the Mobility Router, repeat Steps 1 through 4.
1.5.3 Attaching the Rack Rails to the Rack
After assembling the rack rails, attach them to the rack.
To attach the rack rails to the rack:
1Locate where to install the Mobility Router in the rack.
2Place one rack rail at the location in the rack, making sure of the following:
Sliding rail guide faces the inside of the rack.
End of the rail labeled “Front” is at the front of the rack.
End of the rail labeled “Back” is at the back of the rack.
3Attach the rack rail to the rack by inserting screws in the brackets at the ends of the rack
rail.

4Place the other rack rail on the other side of the rack, making sure of the following:
Sliding rail is at the same level as the rack rail attached in Step 3.
Sliding rail guide faces the inside of the rack.
End of the rail labeled “Front” is at the front of the rack.
End of the rail labeled “Back” is at the back of the rack.
5Attach the rack rail to the rack by inserting screws in the brackets at the ends of the rack
rail.
1.5.4 Installing the Mobility Router into the Rack
To install the Mobility Router into the rack:
1Align the back of the Mobility Router with the front of the rack rails in the rack.
2Slowly slide the Mobility Router rails into the rack rails, using even pressure on both
sides. Press on the locking tabs of the Mobility Router rails while sliding it, if necessary.
3Keep sliding the Mobility Router until there is an audible click. This indicates the
Mobility Router has been completely inserted into the rack.
4Insert screws in the mounting brackets on the front of the Mobility Router to the rack.

Connecting to the Console Port 1
1.7 Connecting to the Console Port
The Mobility Router uses a serial console port to provide a direct connection to the
command-line interface (CLI) Wizard for initial configuration the Mobility Router. After
completing the initial configuration, access to the console port is no longer necessary.
To initially configure the Mobility Router, connect the management PC or laptop to the serial
console port of the Mobility Router. If there is no serial port, use a 9-pin serial to USB adapter
to connect to the serial cable.
To connect the PC or laptop to the serial console port:
1Insert one end of the serial cable into the PC or laptop serial port.
2Insert the other end of the cable into the serial console port of the Mobility Router.
Figure 1-7. Connecting to the Serial Console Port
3On the PC or laptop, start terminal emulation software (such as Microsoft
HyperTerminal) and select the appropriate COM port.
4Configure the port using the following settings:
Baud rate: 9600 bps
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None

1.10 Using the Initial Configuration Wizard
In the terminal emulation software window, use the initial configuration wizard to initially
configure the Mobility Router. After initially configuring and restarting the Mobility Router,
access the RoamAnywhere Administration Portal to configure, manage, monitor, and
troubleshoot the Mobility Router.
Before starting the wizard, have the following information available:
Mobility Router hostname
If not using DHCP:
Mobility Router IP address
Subnet mask
Default gateway for Mobility Router
IP address of primary DNS server
Domain name for the Mobility Router
Password for administrative access to Mobility Router
To use the initial configuration wizard:
1At the login prompt, type admin and press Enter.
2When prompted to accept the End User License Agreement, enter YES to accept. The
initial configuration wizard starts.
3Enter Yto use the wizard.
4Enter the DNS hostname of the Mobility Router. The hostname can be in short-name
format or a fully qualified domain name.
5At the ‘Use DHCP on ETH0’ interface prompt, do one of the following:
To use DHCP, enter Y, and go to Step 11.
Enter N if DHCP is not desired. Continue to step 6.
NOTE We recommend using a static IP address so that the IP address of the Mobility
Router does not change. If using DHCP, make sure to reserve an IP address for the
Mobility Router.
6Enter the Mobility Router's primary IP address.
NOTE A secondary IP address can be configured using the Administration Portal.
7Enter the subnet mask in the format of a 32-bit mask or classless interdomain routing
(CIDR) notation.
8Enter the IP address of the default gateway for the Mobility Router.
9Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.

ShoreTel Mobility Router 6000 Series Hardware Installation Guide 13

10 Enter the domain name in the format domain-name.com. This suffix is appended to all
DNS queries.
11 Assign a password to the default Admin account for future access to the RoamAnywhere
Administration Portal.
NOTE We do not recommend leaving the password field blank.
12 Confirm the password for the default Admin account.
13 After completing the initial configuration wizard, a summary list of the information
appears.
To make any changes, enter the number associated with the line to be changed. Verify the
information and press Enter to save the configuration.
14 At the prompt, enter enable.
15 Enter reload to restart the Mobility Router. Wait for the login prompt in the terminal
emulation software window, which indicates that the Mobility Router has finished
restarting.
16 Verify a network connection to the Mobility Router can be established by accessing the
Administration Portal. To access the Administration Portal, enter the Mobility Router
hostname or IP address in a Web browser:
http://hostname.domain.com/adm
http://a.b.c.d/adm
17 After verifying access to the Administration Portal, disconnect the serial cable. (Console
access is no longer required.)
The ShoreTel Mobility Router is now ready to be configured using the Administration Portal.
