This chapter provides information on the following topics:
Before installing the router, read the following warnings:
 | Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment. |
| Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source. |
| Warning Before working on a system that has a standby/off switch, turn the power to standby and unplug the power cord. |
| 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. |
| Warning The ISDN connection is regarded as a source of voltage that should be inaccessible to user contact. Do not attempt to tamper with or open any public telephone operator (PTO)-provided equipment or connection hardware. Any hardwired connection (other than by a nonremovable, connect-one-time-only plug) must be made only by PTO staff or suitably trained engineers. |
| Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. |
| Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. |
Always use the following ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components:
1. Connect the chassis to earth ground with a wire that you provide.
2. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.
Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis. Always follow the guidelines in the preceding section, "Safety."
3. Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports that do not have a cable attached.
If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch the exposed pins at the unconnected end of the cable.
 | Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms). |
Use the following guidelines when connecting devices to your router:
) appears above a port, you can connect the port directly to a public network that follows the European Union standards.
| Warning
If the symbol of suitability with an overlaid cross ( ) appears above a port, you must not connect the port to a public network that follows the European Union standards. Connecting the port to this type of public network can cause severe injury or damage your router. |
Figure 2-1 shows the items included with your router. If any of the items is missing or damaged, contact your customer service representative.
Before you begin installing your Cisco 800 series router, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Order an ISDN BRI line from your telephone service provider. For more information, refer to the Cisco 800 Series Routers Software Configuration Guide.
Step 2 If you have a Cisco 801 or 803 router, do the following:
Step 3 Be aware of Ethernet, ISDN, and IDSL cable distance limitations. For more information, refer to the "Maximum Cable Distances" section in Appendix B, "Specifications and Cables."
Step 4 Gather the Ethernet devices to be connected to the router: hub, server, workstation, or PC with 10- or 10/100-Mbps network interface card (NIC).
Step 5 If you have a Cisco 801 or 803 router and plan to connect a digital telephone, you must provide an NT1 with two S/T interfaces and one U interface, a telephone cable to connect the telephone (usually this cable is provided with the device), and an ISDN U cable that connects the NT1 to the ISDN wall jack.
Step 6 If you have a Cisco 803 or 804 router, gather the devices (such as an analog telephone, fax machine, or modem) that you plan on connecting to the router. You must also provide the telephone cable to connect each device (usually this cable is provided with the device).
Step 7 If you plan to configure the software using a terminal or PC connected to the router, provide the terminal or PC.
Step 8 If you plan to mount your router on a wall or vertical surface, you need to provide two number-six, 3/4-in. (M3.5 x 20 mm) screws. If the wall on which you mount your router is drywall, you instead need to provide two hollow wall-anchors (1/8-in. with 5/16-in. drill bit or M3 with 8-mm drill bit) to secure the screws.
Step 9 If you plan to use the cable lock feature, you need to provide a Kensington or equivalent locking cable.

To connect an analog telephone, fax machine, or modem, follow the steps in Figure 2-9. You must provide the telephone cable to connect each device. The telephone cable is usually provided with the device.
The gray PHONE 1 and PHONE 2 ports are RJ-11 connectors. If you are outside of North America, you must buy and attach adapters that allow your telephones, faxes, or modems to be connected to these RJ-11 connectors. In some countries, these adapters need additional electronics to convert the telephones, faxes, or modems to work properly with the router phone ports. For example, in the United Kingdom, you must buy an adapter that also provides a master socket, which causes incoming calls to ring the connected devices. For information on recommended master sockets, see Table 2-2.
| Warning This equipment contains a ring signal generator (ringer), which is a source of hazardous voltage. Do not touch the RJ-11 (phone) port wires (conductors), the conductors of a cable connected to the RJ-11 port, or the associated circuit-board when the ringer is active. The ringer is activated (indicated by a clicking sound) by an incoming call. |
| Caution Do not connect the router telephone ports to the telephone wall jack. These ports are not meant for direct connection to a public network. This connection can damage your router. |
