The Cisco 805 router can connect a remote office to a corporate office or a small professional office to an Internet service provider (ISP).
In the remote-office-to-corporate-office network, the remote office is typically a small professional office that is part of a larger corporation, such as a real estate office. Although a majority of its data might exist at the remote office itself, the remote office might also need to exchange data with its larger corporate office. As a result, the remote office needs a connection to the corporate office.
In the small-office-to-ISP network, the small office is typically a small, independent professional office, such as a small architectural firm that needs to access information from the Internet.
Table 1-1 summarizes the features of the Cisco 805 router.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
10BaseT Ethernet port | Provides connection to a 10BaseT (10 Mbps) Ethernet network. Compatible with a 10/100-Mbps device. |
Serial port | Provides connection to EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, EIA/TIA-530, EIA/TIA-530A, X.21, and V.35 data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE). |
RJ-45 Console port | Provides connection to terminal or PC for software configuration and for router troubleshooting. |
Flash memory | Router provides 4 MB of Flash memory.1 |
Dynamic RAM (DRAM) | Router provides 8 MB of DRAM.1 |
Ease of installation | Color-coded ports and cables reduce the chance of error. |
Cisco IOS software | Router supports a subset of Cisco IOS software. |
Cisco 805 Fast Step software | Provides a Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT software tool for basic Cisco 805 configuration. |
Cable lock | Provides a way to physically secure router. |
Locking power connector | Locks power connector in place. |
Wall-mount feature | Brackets on router bottom provide a way to mount router on wall or vertical surface. |
Figure 1-1 describes the Cisco 805 front panel.
For more details, see the "LEDs" section later in this chapter.
Figure 1-2 describes the Cisco 805 back panel.
If the symbol of suitability (
) appears above a port, you can connect the port directly to a public network that follows the European Union standards.
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.
Table 1-2 summarizes the function of each LED. All LEDs are on the router front panel except for the LINK LED, which is on the router back panel.
| LED | Corresponding Port/Component | Color | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
Power | Green | On when power is supplied to the router and when the router completes the self-test procedure and begins operating. | |
Ethernet | Green | On when the Ethernet interface is up. | |
|
(Received) | Ethernet | Green | Blinks when the Ethernet port receives a packet. |
|
(Transmitted) | Ethernet | Green | Blinks when the Ethernet port sends a packet. |
|
(Carrier detect) | Serial | Orange | On when the serial interface is up and a carrier signal is detected. |
|
(Received) | Serial | Orange | Blinks when the serial port receives a packet. |
|
(Transmitted) | Serial | Orange | Blinks when the serial port sends a packet. |
Ethernet | Green | On when Ethernet device is connected. |
