Quick Start Guide
Setting Up the Cisco 805 Router




Unpack the Router.

Remove the yellow Ethernet cable, product documentation, and Cisco 805 Fast Step CD-ROM from the Open Me First bag. Remove the desktop power supply and black power cord from the accessory kit. The following figure shows the items you assembled to perform the steps in this guide.


The router does not ship with a serial cable. If you need help deciding which serial cable to order, see Appendix A, "Selecting a Serial Cable" in the Cisco 805 Router Hardware Installation Guide.



Connect Cables to the Router.

The following figure shows the router back panel, which includes ports that are color-coded to match the cables included with the router and the serial cable you buy from Cisco.

The HUB/NO HUB button identifies the device that you connect to the yellow Ethernet port using the yellow Ethernet cable. For example, setting the button to HUB (in) indicates that you are connecting a hub, while setting the button to NO HUB (out) indicates that you are connecting a server, PC, or workstation. For information on how the setting of this button on a hub can affect the setting of this router button, see Chapter 2, "Installing the Cisco 805 Router" in the Cisco 805 Router Hardware Installation Guide.


Connect an Ethernet device.

Connect a Hub

This section describes how to connect a hub to the router Ethernet port.


    1. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable to the yellow Ethernet port on your router.

    2. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet port on the hub.

    3. Set the HUB/NO HUB button to HUB (in) to indicate that you are connecting a hub.

Connect an Ethernet device (continued).

Connect a Server, PC, or Workstation

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


    1. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable to the yellow Ethernet port on your router.

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

    3. Set the HUB/NO HUB button to NO HUB (out) to indicate that you are connecting a server, PC, or workstation.

Connect a serial device.

The following table describes the devices most commonly connected to the router serial port and how the serial line is used.

Connect a serial device (continued).



Note In some countries, a modem or CSU/DSU might not be necessary or might be provided by your WAN service provider.

    1. Connect the appropriate end of the serial cable to the dark blue serial port on your router.

    2. Connect the other end of the cable to the modem or CSU/DSU.

Connect the power supply.

This section describes how to connect the power supply to the router.


    1. Make sure that the power switch is set to STANDBY (
    ).

    2. Connect the power supply cable to the 6-pin connector on the router.

    3. Connect the female end of the power cord to the desktop power supply.

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

    5. Press the power switch to ON (|).

Verify the router connections.

Verify the power, Ethernet, and serial connections by checking the LEDs. The following figure shows the components that you must verify and the location of their corresponding LEDs.


Verify the router connections (continued).

The following table describes the normal pattern for these LEDs and what to do if you get an abnormal pattern. For more information on all LEDs, see Chapter 1, "Product Overview" of the Cisco 805 Router Hardware Installation Guide.

LED Normal Pattern Explanation If Abnormal Pattern

OK

On

Power is supplied to the router.

If off, see Chapter 3, "Troubleshooting" in the Cisco 805 Router Hardware Installation Guide.

LINK

On

Ethernet device is connected.

If off, toggle HUB/NO HUB button (if set to HUB [in], reset to NO HUB [out] or vice versa).1 If still off, see Chapter 3, "Troubleshooting" in the Cisco 805 Router Hardware Installation Guide.

CD

(Carrier detect)

On

Packets are sent or received from serial port.2

If off for a long time, see Chapter 3, "Troubleshooting" in the Cisco 805 Router Hardware Installation Guide.

1For information on how the setting of this button on a hub affects the setting of the router HUB/NO HUB button, see Chapter 2, "Installing the Cisco 805 Router" in the Cisco 805 Router Hardware Installation Guide.
2The CD LED will not light until you configure the serial interface. For more information on configuring the serial interface, see the Cisco 805 Router Software Configuration Guide.



Set Up the Router Software.

Check with your Cisco 805 router authorized distributor to determine if the software setup is complete. If it is not complete, Cisco recommends setting up the router software by using the Cisco 805 Fast Step software, a Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT based configuration tool. The Cisco 805 Fast Step software ships with the router; it is also available through Cisco Connection Online (CCO) on the World Wide Web.

Also, you can set up the router by using the router command-line interface (CLI). For more information on using the CLI, see the Cisco 805 Router Software Configuration Guide.
