1 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing PLANET RT-101—Single port

IP Router. The RT-101 is designed to provide SOHO

(Small Office Home Office) users an efficient and affordable

Internet access solution. This sophisticated, yet easy to use

device features IP spoofing, Dial-On-Demand, and PPP

authentication. The RT-101 allows you to expand network

functionality while minimizing system resource costs.

Set up has never been easier. Simply connect the RT-101

directly to your PC’s serial port via the packaged

configuration serial cable and configure using any DEC

VT100 compatible terminal program.

Once configured, the PLANET RT-101 provides hassle free

installation. It can be placed anywhere in your 10Base-2 or

10Base-T Ethernet LAN environment and its unique

interface auto-sensing feature means there are no

troublesome jumpers or software configurations required.

RT-101 User’s Manual

How the RT-101 Works

The RT-101 gives users across your network access to the

vast resources available on the Internet. Once the RT-101 is

installed and configured, the Internet is just a click away.

The RT-101 is assigned a unique IP addresses that allows it

to communicate directly with the Internet. Activating your

browser and inputting a URL (Universal Resource Locator)

produces a Internet bound data package that is routed

through the RT-101 to Internet. Additionally, since dial up

line fees are dependent on line usage, the RT-101 supports

the following cost saving functions:

IP Spoofing

IP protocol tends to be quite talkative; that is, it is always

requesting and sending RIPs (routing information packets)

to detect any change in resource status-- servers, routers

and other peripheral devices. Spoofing is a means of

filtering the chatter (RIPs) so that when no important data

is present the line can be dropped as defined by the

Disconnect time-out setting. After the line is dropped,

the spoofing mechanism fools the local network into

thinking the line is still up and that the Internet

resources are still available. Without spoofing, the line

would remain up indefinitely and huge line fees would be

incurred.

Dial On Demand

Dial On Demand is an intelligent feature that monitors the

dropped communication link for transmission activity. If

activity is detected, a connection with the Internet will

automatically be re-established. To the user, it is as if the

line were never dropped.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before installing the Communication Server, you should:

• Remove the Sensitive Information page at the front of

this manual and store it in safe place. It contains

sensitive information on the Communication Server

security features.

• Carefully read the entire manual.

• Ensure that you meet all hardware and software

requirements.

Requirements

• Any DEC VT52/VT100 compatible terminal

application including Telix, Crosstalk, ProComm,

SmartCom and Windows 95 Hyper Terminal.

• TCP/IP protocol enabled.

• Ethernet Network employing 10Base-T or 10Base2

cable.

• An external asynchronous modem.

• One standard serial cable to connect the modem and

RT-101.

• Router account with local ISP.

2 CONFIGURATION

Using the configuration software included with the RT-101,

you set the parameters necessary for Office to Internet

operation such as local and remote IP addresses, Net Masks

and telephone numbers. Prior to starting the configuration

process, ensure that you have a DEC VT52/VT100

compatible communication program.

1. With the RT-101 powered Off, connect the RT-101

serial port directly to your PC serial port

using the packaged configuration serial cable.

2. Set both of the RT-101’s DIP switches to their On

positions. See the Dip Switches table in Chapter 1

for more information.

3. Configure your DEC VT100 or DEC VT102

compatible communications program. If needed

consult the communication programs manual and

ensure that the following parameters are set:

• VT100

• 19200bps

• 8-bit data

• no parity

• 1 stop bit

• Software (XON/XOFF) flow control

4. Power On the RT-101 by plugging in the power

adapter. The configuration program will

automatically initiate.

5. Configure the RT-101 as described below.

RT-101 User’s Manual

6. Once the configuration is complete, Save and reset

the device.

7. Power off the RT-101 and Set the DIP switches to

their OFF positions. Now you are ready to install the

RT-101 in the LAN for Internet Access.
