2021-07-07: I re-created this page on my self-hosted web server. I probably should do something with this router.

that's it.
2017-01-30: console - I connect a Cisco console cable (aka "rollover cable") to the RJ45 console (leftmost) port on the ERLite-3, and connect it to the usb-to-serial adapter. I use screen to connect
[tingo@localhost ~]$ screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
then I connect power to the ERLite-3.
2017-01-30: On my Fedora laptop, I connect a usb-to-serial adapter, the label on it is unreadable because of wear.

ok.
2017-01-16: I got a pickup messages (text message) in the afternoon, and fetched the package at my local PIB (Extra Trondheimsveien).
2017-01-13: I got a shipped notice for the package.
2017-01-06: From NetOnNet I ordered a EdgeRouter Lite (229469) for NOK 990.- along with some other products.
