The Cisco 1000 series LAN Extender provides a seamless connection between your remote office local-area network (LAN) and your company's main or regional LAN. The LAN Extender is available in two models:
Because the LAN Extender is remotely configured by your company's system administrator, it can be installed quickly and easily.
The LAN Extender connects to a Cisco router in your company's central office location. This router is called a host router because it is at a central location in your company's LAN. The host router provides routing services to your LAN Extender, and your LAN Extender is configured from the host router.
The host router is connected to your LAN Extender through a 56 or 64-kilobit-per-second (kbps) leased line, or through a faster telephone company service called T1 in North America or E1 in Europe.
Installation is as simple as inspecting the LAN Extender, deciding where to place it, connecting the cables, connecting the power, checking to make sure it all works, and then contacting your system administrator to configure your LAN Extender into the corporate LAN.
Installing your LAN Extender takes just a few simple steps:
 | Caution If you place the LAN Extender on a desk or table, do not place anything on top of your LAN Extender that weighs in excess of 10 pounds (4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top could damage the LAN Extender. |
Because any device that uses electricity must be treated with respect, follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
 | Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals. |
Keep the LAN Extender in the shipping container to prevent accidental damage until you have determined where you want it installed, then proceed with the unpacking. Check the packing list to ensure that you received the following items:
A warranty sheet, a service and support card, and optional companion publications are included as specified on your order. Inspect all items for shipping damage. If anything appears to be damaged, contact your system administrator.
Following are the tools and parts required to install your LAN Extender:
In addition, you might need the following external equipment:
The Cisco 1000 series LAN Extender can be placed on a desktop or bookshelf, or mounted on a vertical surface. It is designed to allow troublefree operation without requiring cooling fans or special equipment closets or racks.
To place your LAN Extender on a desktop, bookshelf, or other flat, secure surface, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Check that the plastic "feet" on the bottom of the LAN Extender are turned so that they are completely under the unit.
Step 2 Set the LAN Extender on the surface you are going install it on, but place it so that you have access to the rear panel. This will allow you to install the cables in the ports at the rear of the LAN Extender.
To install your LAN Extender on a wall or under a desktop, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Locate the plastic feet on the bottom of the unit and swing them out 90 degrees, so the holes are exposed.
Step 2 Using wall-mount hardware, including screws, that you provide, attach the LAN Extender to the wall or other flat surface.
Consider the following recommendations:
| Caution If the screws are not properly anchored in the wall board, drywall, or a vertical stud, cable strain could pull the chassis from the wall. Alignment of the brackets with a vertical stud is recommended. |
After you have installed your LAN Extender, you need to connect the serial cables to your LAN Extender and then connect it to the network. The rear panel of the LAN Extender has the following interface connectors:
You need cables to connect the power and to connect the LAN Extender to the LAN (through either the modular 10BaseT port or the 15-pin AUI port) and WAN lines (through the V.35 or X.21 serial port).
Take the following steps to connect the external cables to the router:
Step 1 Connect the Ethernet port to a transceiver if you are using the AUI port, or directly to the LAN if you are using the 10BaseT port.
Step 2 If the Ethernet cable is not long enough, you will need to use an Ethernet extension cable. If your Ethernet cable is long enough, skip this step and proceed to step 3.
Step 3 Connect the serial ports to the CSU/DSU. Make certain that you connect the V.35 or X.21 serial port connector as shown.
Step 4 Connect the DC power cable from the power supply unit to the power connector which is labeled 12VDC, on the rear panel of the LAN Extender.
Step 5 Connect the AC power cable to the power supply unit and to the AC power source. Your LAN Extender is now on.
After you have finished installing your LAN Extender, you should make sure everything works properly by checking the LEDs on the front panel.
Step 1 Make sure that the LED labeled POWER is on when the LAN Extender is plugged into the power source. This indicates that your system is receiving power from the power supply unit.
Step 2 Make sure that the LED labeled SYSTEM OK is on. This indicates that the LAN Extender is receiving power and has passed its internal diagnostic tests.
Step 3 Make sure that the LEDs labeled LAN TX (Ethernet transmit) and LAN RX (Ethernet receive) are flickering. This indicates that there is Ethernet traffic on your LAN connection.
Step 4 Make sure that the LED labeled SERIAL TX (serial transmit) is flickering. This indicates that your LAN Extender is transmitting data over the serial connection to the host router.
Step 5 Shortly after the serial TX LED flickers, the LED labeled SERIAL RX (serial receive) should begin to flicker. This indicates that your LAN Extender is receiving data over the serial connection, and you are connected to the host router.
If you do not see the correct LED signals, or if they blink once or twice per second instead of flicker, refer to the following section, "Troubleshooting," for more information about LEDs and contact your system administrator for additional instructions.
After you have installed the LAN Extender, your system administrator needs to configure it from the host router over a serial line (V.35 or X.21). Contact your system manager with the MAC address from the label included with your LAN Extender. While your LAN Extender is being configured, your system manager may request that you be available to read the LEDs and verify proper operation.
To order UniverCD, Cisco's online library of product information, or paper documentation, refer to the section "Technical Assistance."
This section includes the following troubleshooting information:
The Cisco 1000 series LAN Extender has several LEDs on the front panel that indicate its current operating condition. The LEDs are used by the system administrator to diagnose or verify the operation of the system. You can observe the LEDs, note any fault conditions that the LAN Extender is encountering, and contact your system administrator.
| LED | State | Means |
|---|---|---|
Power | On steadily | 12 volts DC is being supplied to the LAN Extender. |
| Off | Power is not reaching the LAN Extender. Verify that the power supply is plugged into the wall receptacle, and that the cable from the power supply to the LAN Extender is connected. |
System OK | On steadily | The LAN Extender has passed the power-on diagnostics and is working properly. |
| Blinking | The system will blink while running its startup diagnostics and will then go on steadily. If the blinking continues after the startup sequence, a system error has been encountered. Contact your system administrator and disconnect and then reconnect the power to recycle your LAN Extender. If the blinking continues, check your WAN connection and the serial RX and TX LEDs. |
| Off | An error condition has occurred. Contact your system administrator, disconnect the power cord, and then reconnect it to re-establish power to your LAN Extender. |
Serial TX and RX | Flickering | The serial WAN line is transmitting and receiving data normally. |
| Blinking | A line fault has been detected. The LEDs will go on for several seconds and will then blink a certain number of times to indicate a particular error. The blinking pattern will repeat until the error condition has been corrected: 1 blink = the serial line is down. 2 blinks = no clock signal was received. 3 blinks = an excessive number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors has been received. 4 blinks = the line is noisy. 5 blinks = a loopback condition has occurred. 6 blinks = the point-to-point link has failed. Contact your system administrator. |
LAN TX and RX | Flickering | The Ethernet LAN connection is transmitting and receiving data normally. |
Collision | On | Data collisions are being detected. Occasional collisions are normal, if they happen often, contact your system administrator. |
Link OK | On | No errors are being detected on the 10BaseT connection. |
