| Unpack the Router |
Remove the yellow Ethernet cable, light blue console cable, lavender ADSL cable, product documentation, and Cisco 800 Fast Step CD-ROM from the Open Me First bag. Remove the desktop power supply and the black power cord from the accessory kit. The following figure shows the items that you assemble to perform the steps in this guide.
| Connect Cables to the Router |
The following figures show the routers back panels, which include color-coded ports that match the cables.
The TO HUB/TO PC 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; setting the button TO PC (out) indicates that you are connecting a server, PC, or workstation. For information on how the settings of this button on a hub can affect the setting of this router, see the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide.

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 TO HUB/TO PC button to TO HUB (in) to indicate that you are connecting a hub.

This section describes how to connect a server, PC, or workstation 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 TO HUB/TO PC button to TO PC (out) to indicate that you are connecting a server, PC, or workstation.

If you have a Cisco 827-4V router, you can connect an analog telephone or fax machine to your router. Use the cables provided with these devices.
The gray PHONE 4, 3, 2, and 1 ports are RJ-11 connectors. If you are outside of North America, you must buy and attach adapters that allow your telephones or faxes to be connected to these RJ-11 connectors. In some countries, these adapters need additional electronics to convert the telephones or faxes 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 827 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 4, 3, 2, or 1 port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your device.

| LED | Normal Pattern | Explanation | If Abnormal Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|
OK | On | Power is supplied to the router. | If off, see the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide. |
PHONE 1, 2, 3, 4 | On | Telephone or fax machine is connected. | If off, see the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide. |
ADSL CD | On | ADSL line is connected. | If off, see the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide. |
ADSL RXD | Blinks | ADSL port receives data. | If off, see the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide. |
ADSL TXD | Blinks | ADSL port sends data. | If off, see the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide. |
ETHERNET 1 | On | Ethernet device is connected. | If off, toggle TO HUB/TO PC button (if set to TO HUB [in], reset to TO PC [out] or vice versa). If still off, see the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide. |
ETHERNET RXD | Blinks | Ethernet port is receving a packet. | If off, see the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide. |
ETHERNET TXD | Blinks | Ethernet port is transmitting a packet. | If off, see the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide. |
| Set Up the Router Software |
Check with the authorized distributor for your Cisco 827 routers to determine if the software setup is complete. If it is not complete, 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. The Cisco 800 Fast Step software ships with the routers; it is also available on 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 827 Routers Software Configuration Guide.
