This section describes how to connect a hub, 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) |
1. Connect the yellow cable to one of the following ports:
The yellow Ethernet port on your Cisco 811 router.
Any of the yellow Ethernet ports on your Cisco 813 router.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the hub.
3. Check the LED corresponding to the connected port after router power-up:
The ETHERNET 1 LED is on the Cisco 811 front panel.
The ETHERNET 4, 3, 2, and 1 LEDs are on the Cisco 813 front panel.
4. If the LED corresponding to the connected port is not on, do the following:
If the ETHERNET 1 LED is not on, try pressing the TO HUB/TO PC button.
If the ETHERNET 2, 3, or 4 LED is not on, press the equivalent of the router
TO HUB/TO PC button on your hub.

| Set Up the Router |
Check with your Cisco 811 and Cisco 813 routers authorized distributor to determine whether the software setup is complete. If not, Cisco recommends setting up the router software by using the Cisco 800 Fast Step software, a Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT based configuration tool. Cisco 800 Fast Step software ships with the router; it is also available on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) on the World Wide Web. To configure the router using the Cisco 800 Fast Step software, see the Quick Start Guide: Cisco 800 Fast Step Software.
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.
