Hello to all,
We have just contracted a service from ONO who is the local ISP here in Granada Spain. The service is a symetrical 2MB HDSL circuit. The tech guys showed up and installed a router made by ADC (it called a ERE-811L6 in the WorldDSL line of routers). Anyway, they could not tell me much about the router or what I would need to get this thing working. But they told me it was woking because they had link lights back to thier cloud. OK, thanks guys. I am sure the bills will show up on time though.
So this is what the router has coming out the back of it:
- A DB25 connector that has a V.35 adaptor stuck in it and is marked DATA PORT
- Two BNC like ports marked OHM IN and OUT with nothing stuck in it.
- A 15 pin port marked 120 OHM-Alarm with nothing stuck in it.
- A serial port used by a two-pair cable and is marked HDSL LINE. Incredibly this cable goes out onto the street and if you were tall enough you could just grab it.
The service comes with a block of 15 public IPs. What I plan on doing as soon as I can find someone at the ISP who understands me, is to tell them to put the router in some kind of bridge-mode and put my router behind it using an IP from the pool they gave us. I want to manage the router. They are trying to sell me managed services and I dont want that.
So my questions are:
1.Would a Cisco 2610 2600 Series Router with WIC 1T Serial Card be enough to get me started?- Since this circuit might be pegged during hours at a time do I need to be concerned about memory?
- Is there any other equipment I will need besides the router, and a V.35 cable to get data flowing?
Of course I will need to work with the ISP on this but right now I am on my own since they are offering NO support.
Thanks for any advice and help you may have,
Pedro
