Ethernet Devices
Identify the Ethernet devices that you will connect to the router: hub, servers, and workstations or PCs. Ensure that each device has a network
interface card (NIC) for connecting to Ethernet ports.
If you plan to configure the software using Cisco IOS commands through the console port, provide an ASCII terminal or a PC that is running
terminal emulation software to connect to the console port.
Installing the Router
This section describes how to install the Cisco IR829. This router can be installed on a table top or other flat horizontal surface mounted on
a wall or DIN rail.
The recommended clearance when horizontally mounted is 1.5 inches on both sides for floor mount bracket clearance and 2 inches on top.
Top clearance is not required but stacking heat-dissipating objects on top of the router is not allowed. I/O side clearance is needed as it is
required to access the cable connections. Clearance is not required on the backside (opposite side from I/O face) unless DIN rail mounting
is required. Clearance is required to attach and mount the DIN rail bracket. The same clearances apply when mounted vertically.
