Quick Start Guide
Setting Up Cisco 800 Series Routers



Unpack the Router

Unpack the router, the Open Me First bag, the desktop power supply, and the black power cord. The following figure shows the contents of the Open Me First bag (the power supply and the power cord are in the accessory kit rather than the Open Me First bag).




Connect Cables to the Router

The following figures show the router ports. These ports and the cables are color-coded to help you connect the cables correctly.

Connect an Ethernet Device

This section describes how to connect a hub, or a server, PC, or workstation with a 10- or 10/100-Mbps network interface card (NIC).

Before connecting an Ethernet device, you need to know the following:

Caution Always connect the yellow cable or Ethernet cable that you supply to the yellow ports on the router. Do not connect the cable to an ISDN S/T or U port or to a Network Termination 1 (NT1) device. Accidently connecting the cable to the wrong port can damage your router.



Connect Cables to the Router (Continued)

Connect a Hub


    1. Connect the yellow cable to one of the following ports:

    2. Connect the other end of the cable to the hub.

    3. Check the LED corresponding to the connected port after router power-up:

    4. If the LED corresponding to the connected port is not on, do the following:

Connect a Server, PC, or Workstation


    1. Connect the yellow cable to one of the following ports:

    2. Connect the other end of the cable to the server, PC, or workstation.

    3. Check the LED corresponding to the connected port after router power-up:

    4. If the LINK or LKØ LED is not on, press the HUB/NO HUB button.

    5. If the LK1, LK2, or LK3 LEDs are not on, see the Cisco 800 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide.

Connect an ISDN Line

Option A: Connecting Cisco 801 and Cisco 803 routers.

Option B: Connecting Cisco 802 and Cisco 804 routers.

Caution Always connect the orange cable to the orange ISDN S/T port and the red cable to the red ISDN U port on the router. Do not connect either cable to the yellow Ethernet port. Accidently connecting these cables to the wrong port can damage your router.

Option A. Connecting Cisco 801 and Cisco 803 Routers

This section describes how to connect Cisco 801 and Cisco 803 routers outside of North America. For information on connecting these routers in North America, see the Cisco 800 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide.


    1. Connect the orange cable to the orange ISDN S/T port.

    2. Connect the other end of the cable to the ISDN wall jack.



Connect Cables to the Router (Continued)

Option B. Connecting Cisco 802 and Cisco 804 Routers


    1. Connect the red cable to the red ISDN U port.

    2. Connect the other end of the cable to the ISDN wall jack. If your wall jack has an RJ-11 connector, attach the RJ-45-to-RJ-11 adapter cable to the red cable, and then connect the RJ-11 connector to the ISDN wall jack.

Connect Telephone, Fax Machine, or Modem

If you have a Cisco 803 or Cisco 804 router, you can connect a touch-tone telephone, fax machine, or modem. Use the cables provided with these devices.

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 the Cisco 800 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide.

Caution Do not connect the router telephone ports to the telephone wall jack. These ports are not meant for direct connection to the public network. This connection can damage your router.


    1. Connect one end of the telephone cable to the gray PHONE 1 or PHONE 2 port. If you are connecting only one device, use the PHONE 1 port.

    2. Connect the other end of the cable to your device.

Connect Power Supply


    1. Make sure the router power is off. Press the power switch to standby ( 
     ).

    2. Connect the power supply cable to the 8-pin connector on the router.

    3. Connect the power cord to the desktop power supply.

    4. Connect the other end of the power cord to an electrical outlet.

    5. Turn ON the router. Press the power switch to on (|).

Verify Router Connections

Verify the power connection and all other connections (links) by checking the LEDs in the table below. If the LEDs are not on, see the troubleshooting information in the Cisco 800 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide.

Power/Link LEDs To Check Normal Patterns

Power

OK

On

To hub, server, PC, or workstation

Cisco 801 or Cisco 802 back panel: LINK LED

Cisco 803 or Cisco 804 front panel: LKØ, LK1, LK2, and LK3 LEDs

On

To ISDN network using ISDN S/T port

LINE, CH1, or CH2

On. CH1 or CH2 is on only when the router has an active voice or data connection.

To ISDN network using ISDN U port

NT1, LINE, CH1, or CH2

On. CH1 or CH2 is on only when the router has an active voice or data connection.

To telephone, fax, or modem

PH1 or PH2

You can also pick up the handset and listen for a dial tone.

On. PH1 or PH2 is on only when telephone, fax, or modem is in use.



Set Up the Router

Check with your Cisco 800 series router authorized distributor to determine if the software setup is complete. If not, Cisco recommends setting up the router software by using Cisco 800 Fast Step, a Microsoft Windows-95-, Windows-98-, and Windows-NT-based configuration tool. Cisco 800 Fast Step ships with the router; it is also available on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) on the World Wide Web.

You can also set up the router by using the router command-line interface (CLI). For more information on using the CLI, see the Cisco 800 Series Routers Software Configuration Guide.
