How do I connect two routers back-to-back?

Step by Step Process:
For both the CPE and CO Router:

1) Attach a straight through 10BaseT cable from the PC's NIC to an Ethernet port on the Router

2) Copy the following script to a text file and save it in the DSL software directory

 

For the CPE router:

login admin

sys name cpe

eth ip addr 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.0

eth ip enable

rem add co

rem setproto ppp co

rem setpvc 0*38 co

rem disauthen co

rem addiproute 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 1 co

sd speed 1152

save

reboot

 

For the CO router:

login admin

sys name co

eth ip addr 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0

eth ip enable

rem add cpe

rem setproto ppp cpe

rem setpvc 0*38 cpe

rem disauthen cpe

rem addiproute 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 1 cpe

sd term co

sd speed 1152

save

reboot

 

3)Run Quick Start for DSL

Note: Be sure your PC's IP address is on the same network as either the router's IP address or its default address (192.168.254.254)

4) If this is your first time running Quick Start, it will ask if you have been supplied an installation script. Click yes and specify the location (If this is not your first time running Quick Start, you can delete the router.ini file in the same directory of your FlowPoint DSL software and this will bypass the detection of any previous installations)

5) After the routers have been setup, use the supplied ISDN/ADSL Wan cable and attach each end into the DSL port of both routers
