Item Description
A Adhesive rubber feet (these are not required for rack mounting).
3.2 Mounting an anti-theft security cable
RS1800 series devices feature a standard Kensington security slot for optionally attaching a security cable. The T-
bar lock of the security cable allows the device to be attached to an anchor point, thus preventing potential thefts.
The security slot is located on the rear panel of the housing, as shown in the following figure:
Fig. 8: Security Slot
3.3 Rack installation
The RS1800 series device can be installed in a 19” rack. The rack mounting brackets and screws are not provided
by default and must be acquired separately.
Both mounting brackets are attached to the device by means of 5 screws, as shown in the following figure:
Fig. 9: Rack anchors
Teldat S.A. 3 Components and Power Supply
RS1800 series 11

Note
The device has been designed to allow brackets to be attached to the front or rear of the router
chassis.
3.3.1 Standalone
RS1800 series devices can be placed as standalones on a flat, stable surface. The adhesive rubber feet must be
stuck to the underside panel to prevent the router from sliding.
Make sure there is enough space around the router (for ventilation purposes) and check that the power cord and
data cables can easily reach it.
3.3.2 Wall mounting
The RS1800 series device cannot be mounted on a wall.
3.4 Plug-in Modules
The RS1800 series does not have plug-in modules.
3.5 Power source
The RS1800 series router is powered through an external AC/DC power adapter.
Warning
The equipment must be used with the power supply provided by the manufacturer.
Workplace conditions. Main characteristics
• Avoid humid and/or dusty locations.
• Direct exposure to sunlight and other heat sources should be avoided. The device should not be placed amongst
papers, magazines or other elements that could hinder natural air circulation.
• The device should not be placed close to strong electromagnetic fields (such as speakers, engines, etc.).
• Knocks and/or strong vibrations should be avoided during transport, operation and storage.
Warning
3.5.1 Power source
To avoid electric shocks, residual current circulation and other unwanted effects that affect communications, the fol-
lowing is recommended:
Warning
For safety and EMC purposes, the external power supply must be connected to a grounded power out-
let.
3 Components and Power Supply Teldat S.A.
12 RS1800 series
The electric current in power cables, telephone lines and communication cables is dangerous. To pre-
vent electric shocks, before installing, handling or opening the equipment covers, connect and discon-
nect the cables following the steps set forth in Connecting on page 13 and Disconnecting on page 13.
To connect the power supply to the device, please follow the steps set out in Connecting on page 13.

Note
We recommend plugging all interconnected communication devices to the same grounded power out-
let.
3.5.1.1 Connecting
• Make sure the on/off power supply switch is in the OFF position (0).
• Make sure the power supply is NOT connected to the mains or to the device.
• Connect all data cables.
• Connect the external adapter power cable to the device.
• Connect the adapter power cable to the main supply (wall socket).
• Put the device's on/off power supply switch in the ON position (1).
3.5.1.2 Disconnecting
• Put the on/off power supply switch in the OFF position (0).
• Disconnect the adapter power cable from the main supply (wall socket).
• Remove the power supply cable from the device.
• Disconnect the data cables.
3.6 RST button
The different RST button features are described below.
Fig. 10: RST button
3.6.1 Rebooting the device
Once the device is operating normally, pressing the RST button will force a restart.
Note
It will also force the embedded Access Point (if present) to restart.
3.6.2 Default configuration
The RST button allows you to boot the device with its default configuration (including the embedded Access Point, if
present). To do so, follow these steps:
• With the device switched off, press and hold the RST button down while you turn the router on using the ON/OFF
switch (1).
• The PWR LED (green) will light up and LED 'S' will begin to blink (amber). It will carry on blinking for 10 seconds.
• To boot the device with the default configuration, release the RST button while LED 'S' is still blinking (i.e., before
the 10-second period expires).
Teldat S.A. 3 Components and Power Supply
RS1800 series 13

3.6.2.1 Default configuration
The router has an embedded access point, the default configuration looks like a template for a Wi-Fi configuration. It
includes all the necessary elements to deploy a very basic Wi-Fi network. To activate this configuration, all you need
to do is enter the enable command at the WNMS feature menu.
This configuration will provide two Wi-Fi networks: test_ssid_1 and test_ssid_2. The first one is placed in the 2.4 GHz
band and the second one in the 5 GHz band. The password for both networks matches their ssid name.
The DHCP server configuration is divided into two parts. The first one focuses on giving an address to the embedded
access point, while the second strives to give an address to the Wi-Fi clients that connect to the access point.
A bridge is installed to separate the traffic belonging to Wi-Fi clients from access point communications. Two VLANs
are configured for this purpose.
The communication with the embedded access point is carried out via a separate port in the switch interface. This
port is named "wlan" or listed as port 5.
The router's default configuration establishes the following access IP and mask address:
• IP address: 192.168.0.1
• IP mask: 255.255.255.0
The embedded access point's default configuration establishes the following IP and mask address:
• IP address: DHCP client with no.192.168.100.150/24 as default
Note
Only the RS1800w models have an embedded access point.
Note
Be careful when modifying the template configuration, as one subtle change could easily ruin the base
configuration and prevent it from working. Thus, make sure you understand the template before apply-
ing any changes.
Note
Some devices leave the factory with customized settings. This personalization means your router's de-
fault configuration (and that of the embedded access point, where applicable) may be different from the
one shown above.
3.7 Data connections
The RS1800 series router has the following data connections.
3.7.1 4-port Ethernet switch connections
The RS1800 series router incorporates a 4-port 10/100/1000 Base-T switch with automatic MDI/MDIX to connect to
a local area network (LAN).
Please pay careful attention to the labeling to avoid mistaking this switch for other types of ports:
3 Components and Power Supply Teldat S.A.
14 RS1800 series

Fig. 11: LAN switch ports
Note
Only the LAN 1 connector is available during booting and in BIOS mode.
3.7.2 WAN connections
The RS1800 series has 4 Ethernet interfaces for WAN connection. These ports have 2 connectors - SFP for an op-
tical link and RJ45 for a 10/100/1000 Base-T link - but they cannot work simultaneously. These interfaces are totally
independent from the switch and are handled like every other interface.
Please pay careful attention to the labeling to avoid mistaking these ports for other types of ports:
Fig. 12: WAN connectors
Note
WAN connectors do not work during booting and in BIOS mode.
3.7.2.1 Laser information
Choose SFP transceivers that meet the following regulations
• Class 1
• IEC/EN60825-1:2007 2nd Edition or a later one, European standard
• FCC 21 CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter J (in accordance with FDA and CDRH re-
quirements)
• Application of CE marking in accordance with the 2014/30/EU EMC Directive
