Connect the Router
Connect the Router
Connect the router, referring to the typical installation for your router model as
Follow these steps to connect the router to the power supply, to your local
network, and to your service provider:
Step 1
Step 2
Wireless models only: Make sure that you have attached the antennas to the router
as described in the “Connect the Antenna to the Wireless Router (Optional)”
If you are using a PoE module, make sure that it is connected to the router (see
(Optional)” section on page 1-10). Connect the Ethernet devices to the PoE
module, not to the router.
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
If you are connecting more than four PCs to the router, connect the router to a
Turn off the PC so that it will obtain an IP address from the router when it is turned
on. You can connect additional PCs to the remaining numbered Ethernet ports.
The console port is a service port to which you can connect a terminal or PC in
order to configure the software by using the command-line interface (CLI) or to
troubleshoot problems with the router. If you need access to the router console,
connect a PC or terminal to the console port.
Note
By connecting the console port to an asynchronous modem using the
optional router modem cable, you can add dial backup and remote
management capabilities to the router.
Step 6
Cisco 851 and Cisco 871 routers only: Connect the second yellow Ethernet cable
between the router Ethernet WAN port and an available port on an installed digital
subscriber line (DSL), cable, or long-reach Ethernet modem as shown in
Cisco 850 Series and Cisco 870 Series Access Routers Cabling and Setup Quick Start Guide
78-16262-04
1-17
Chapter 1 Cisco 850 Series and Cisco 870 Series Access Routers Cabling and Setup Quick Start Guide
Connect the Router
Follow the instructions provided with your broadband modem to determine which
port on the modem to connect to. Turn on the broadband modem if it is not already
turned on.
Step 7
Step 8
Cisco 871 router only: Connect supported USB devices such as flash memory
modules or eTokens to the two USB ports. For more information, see the
Cisco Access Router USB Flash Module and USB eToken Hardware Installation
Cisco 857 and Cisco 877 routers only: Connect the ADSLoPOTS port on the
router to the telephone wall jack by using the lavender DSL cable. If the ADSL
line is also used for voice communication, you can prevent disruption to data
communication by connecting the router to an ADSL splitter, or by installing
microfilters between telephones or fax equipment and the wall jack. Proceed to
Caution
Step 9
Both LAN and WAN ports can use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when
connecting cables to these connectors. To avoid damage to the router, do not
connect telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits (such as ISDN or DSL
circuits) to safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits (such as LAN circuits).
Cisco 876 and Cisco 878 routers only: For dial backup and remote management,
you can connect the ISDN S/T port to a Network Termination (NT1) box or an
ADSL splitter, using the orange ISDN S/T cable (ordered separately). Continue
Step 10 Cisco 876 routers only: Connect the DSL cable to the ADSLoISDN port on the
router and to the ADSL splitter or wall socket. If you are using an ADSL splitter,
connect the splitter to the wall socket using a Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair
Step 11 Cisco 878 routers only: Connect the DSL cable to the G.SHDSL port on the router
and to the wall socket.
Step 12 All router models: Connect power to the router, and turn on the router. Be sure to
use the power supply that was shipped with the router. Other power supplies will
not connect to the router.
The green OK LED on the front panel of the router lights up when you connect
the router to a power source. The router is now ready for use.
If the green OK LED does not turn on, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the
Cisco 850 Series and Cisco 870 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide.

Install SDM and Configure the Router
Note
For Cisco 857, Cisco 876, Cisco 877, and Cisco 878 routers, the DSL line
must have been provisioned by your service provider and must be
correctly configured. Check the carrier detect (CD) status on the ADSL
CD LED or G.SHDSL CD LED on the router. If the ADSL CD LED or
G.SHDSL CD LED does not light up, check with your service provider.
Step 13 If you have connected a PoE module to the router, connect the PoE module power
supply to the input jack on the back panel of the PoE module. The green LED on
the PoE front panel lights up and power is provided to devices connected to the
PoE.
See the Cisco 870 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide for detailed
connection instructions.
Install SDM and Configure the Router
To install Cisco SDM for configuring the router, follow these steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Insert the Cisco SDM software CD into the CD drive of the PC. An installation
wizard is launched from the CD. Install Cisco SDM by following the instructions
on the installation wizard user interface.
Step 3
Use Cisco SDM to configure the router by following the instructions in the
Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) Quick Start Guide.

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally
before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you
think that you might have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact
PSIRT:
•
An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack
or a condition for which a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be
reported. All other conditions are considered nonemergencies.
•
In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your
service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is
located at this URL:
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the
Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your
production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned
immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations
running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has
established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your
business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around
the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or
significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by
inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time
resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most
business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources
during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product
capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your
business operations.
