1.2. Cable Connections

3Com recommends that you power off the router before connecting any cable.

Do not connect and disconnect synchronous or asynchronous serial WAN cables, console

cables, Ethernet cables, ISDN BRI cables, and 4-port serial WAN adapters while power to the

router is on. Connnecting cables while power to the router is on can crash the router or

damage the serial port.

1.3. Online Resources

3Com routers contain a software agent that can be upgraded using the command line

interface. The software agent that is initially provided with the routers does not fully support

GRE, L2TP, IPSec, or SNMPv3.

To download a software agent that adds full support for these features, visit the 3Com support

website at

http://support.3com.com

contains encryption capabilities that are restricted to certain users and countries so approval for

these downloads can take up to 48 hours.

To upgrade to future software agents that contain additional features, you must purchase a

service contract. Details are provided on the Service and Warranty pages of the 3Com support

website
