Installing a Network Module

Use this procedure, if required, to install a network module in a Cisco 3620 router.

Look for a network module in the slots on the rear panel of the router. If there are network modules already installed, connect the modules to your network using the appropriate cables as shown in the "Connect Cables" section.

Caution The router must be powered off and disconnected before installing and replacing network modules. Do not hot swap network modules. Doing so will damage the network modules.

If you need to install a network module, follow this procedure:

    1. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the metal filler panel over the network module slot and remove the filler panel.

    2. Hold the network module by its handle and line the module up with the guides on either side of the slot.

    3. Push the module into place until you hear the sound of contact and the edge connector is securely seated in the connector on the backplane. Ensure that each of the module's captive screws lines up with its hole in the chassis.

    4. Secure the captive mounting screws into the holes on the chassis using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

    5. Connect the appropriate network module cables to your network.

For information on available network modules and their installation, refer to the Documentation CD-ROM included in your router package. (Path to this information: Cisco Product Documentation>Access Servers and Access Routers>Modular Access Routers>Cisco 3600 Series Routers>Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide.)

Installing a WAN or Voice Interface Card

Use this procedure, if required, to install an interface card in your Cisco 3620 router.

Look for an interface card in a network module installed in your router. If there is a WAN or voice interface card already installed, connect the card to the WAN line or telephone equipment using the appropriate cable as shown in the "Connect Cables" section.

Caution The router must be powered off and disconnected before installing and replacing WAN and voice interface cards. Do not hot swap interface cards. Doing so will damage the cards and network modules.

If you need to install an interface card, follow this procedure:

    1. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the filler panel over the interface card slot and remove the filler panel.

    2. Hold the WAN or voice interface card by its edges and line the card up with the guides on either side of the slot.

    3. Insert the card in the slot and push in until it is firmly seated in the connector and the card's front panel is flush with the network module.

    4. Use the number 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screws that hold the card in place.

    5. Connect the card to the WAN line or telephone equipment using the appropriate cables.

For further information on connecting interface cards, refer to the Documentation CD-ROM included in your router package. (Path to this information: Cisco Product Documentation>Access Servers and Access Routers>Modular Access Routers>Cisco 3600 Series Routers>Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide.)



Connect Cables


Connect the LAN Cable(s)

Position the router so that you can reach the rear panel.


Note Cisco offers several network modules with LAN configurations. The LAN connection on your Cisco 3620 router might vary from that shown here.

Note Ethernet cables are not included in the router or network module package. Depending on your LAN connection, use either a 10BaseT (Ethernet) cable or a 10/100BaseT (Fast Ethernet) cable.

    1. Connect the 10BaseT cable to the Ethernet port (colored blue) on the installed network module.

    2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet hub or switch (not supplied).

    3. If your installed network module has a second Ethernet port, repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second Ethernet LAN connection.

Connect the Console Cable


Note Console cables are not included in the router package. Use an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable.

    1. Connect the console cable to the port labeled CONSOLE on the rear panel of the router.

    2. Connect the other end of the console cable to an RJ-45 adapter.

    Use either an RJ-45-to DB-9 adapter or an RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter, depending on your local terminal or PC.


Note The RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter can be purchased from Cisco (Cisco part number 29-0810-01).

    3. Attach the adapter to a serial port on a terminal or PC running emulation software to allow router configuration.


Connect AC Power and Turn On the Router

    1. Connect the black power cord to the receptacle on the power supply at the rear of the router.

Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a Listed or Certified fuse or circuit breaker 50A, minimum 60 VDC is used on all current-carrying conductors.

    2. Connect the other end of the power cord to the electrical outlet.

    3. Turn ON the router by pressing the ON/OFF switch on the power supply.

The System LED on the front panel as well as LEDs on all installed network modules and WAN interface cards light up, and your router is now operational.


Note If LEDs on the network modules and WAN interface cards do not light up, power down the system, reseat the module in question (as described in the "Installing a Network Module" section, and the "Installing a WAN or Voice Interface Card" section), and power up the system again.

You have now completed the installation of your router. For additional installation and troubleshooting information, refer to the Documentation CD-ROM included in your router package. (Path to this information: Cisco Product Documentation>Access Servers and Access Routers>Modular Access Routers>Cisco 3600 Series Routers>Cisco 3600 Series Hardware Installation Guide.)

To configure your router, see the "Configure Your Router" section.

Connect DC Power and Turn On the Router

Warning This product relies on the building's installation or power supply for short circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a listed and certified fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 60 VDC, 15A U.S. is used on all current-carrying conductors.

    1. Use 14-AWG copper wire to connect DC-input power to the terminal block on the power supply. Strip the shielding to expose approximately 0.4 inch (10 mm) of the wire.

Warning An exposed wire lead from a DC-input power source can conduct harmful levels of electricity. Be sure that no exposed portion of the DC-input power source wire extends from the terminal block plug.

    2. Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the three captive screws on the terminal block.

Warning This warning applies only to units equipped with DC input power supplies. Wire the DC power supply using the appropriate lugs at the wiring end. The proper wiring sequnce is ground to ground, positive to positive (line to L), and negative to negative (neutral to N). Note that the ground wire should always be connected first and disconnected last.

Connect DC Power and Turn On the Router (continued)

    3. Insert wires in the terminal block slots, and tighten the three captive screws to secure the wires in place.

Caution Do not over-torque the terminal block captive thumbscrew or terminal block contact screws. The recommended torque is 8.2 ± 0.4 inch-lb.

The System LED on the front panel and the LEDs on all installed network modules and WAN interface cards light up, indicating that your router is now operational.


Note If LEDs on the network modules and WAN interface cards do not light up, power down the system, reseat the module in question (as described in the "Installing a Network Module" section, and the "Installing a WAN or Voice Interface Card" section), and power up the system again.

You have now completed the installation of your router. For additional installation and troubleshooting information, refer to the Documentation CD-ROM included in your router package. (Path to this information: Cisco Product Documentation>Access Servers and Access Routers>Modular Access Routers>Cisco 3600 Series Routers>Cisco 3600 Series Hardware Installation Guide.)

To configure your router, see the "Configure Your Router" section.



Configure Your Router

Command Modes

The Cisco IOS user interface is divided into many different modes. The commands available to you at any given time depend on the mode you are currently in.

The following table summarizes some of the main command modes of the Cisco IOS software.
Command Mode Purpose Access Method Exit Method

User EXEC

Router>

Only a limited subset of commands are available in this mode.

Log in. (Password needed.)

Use the logout command.

Privileged EXEC Router#

Allows access to all EXEC commands and the global configuration mode.
The show and clear commands are entered from this mode.

From user EXEC mode, use the enable EXEC command.

To return to user EXEC mode, use the disable command.

To enter global configuration mode, use the configure terminal privileged EXEC command.

Global configuration Router (config)#

Allows you to make changes to the running configuration.
Allows access to interface and subinterface configuration modes and other protocol-specific modes.

From privileged EXEC mode, use the configure terminal privileged EXEC command.

To exit to privileged EXEC mode, use the exit or end command or press Ctrl-z.

To enter interface configuration mode, enter an interface configuration command.

Interface configuration Router (config-if)#

Enters interface configuration mode by specifying the interface that you want to configure.

From global configuration mode, enter by specifying an interface with an interface command.

To exit to global configuration mode, use the exit command.

To exit to privileged EXEC mode, use the exit command or press Ctrl-z.

To enter subinterface configuration mode, specify a subinterface with the interface command.

ROM monitor

>

Use this mode when the router does not boot properly. If your router does not find a valid system image, or if its configuration file is corrupted at startup, the system might enter ROM mode automatically.

From privileged EXEC mode, use the reload EXEC command. Press the Break key during the first 60 seconds while the system is booting.

To exit to user EXEC mode, type continue.

Display Available Commands

Enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display a list of commands available for each command mode. You can also get a list of a command's associated keywords and arguments with the context-sensitive help feature.
Command Purpose

help

Obtain a brief description of the help system in any command mode.

abbreviated-command-entry

Obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character string. (No space between command and question mark.)

abbreviated-command-entry<Tab>

Complete a partial command name.

?

List all commands available for a particular command mode.

command ?

List a command's associated keywords. (Space between command and question mark.)

command keyword ?

List a keyword's associated arguments. (Space between the keyword and question mark.)

No and Default Forms of Commands

Almost every configuration command also has a no form. In general, use the no form to disable the default value for a function. Use the command without the keyword no to reenable the default for the disabled function or to enable a function that is disabled by default. For example, IP routing is enabled by default. To disable IP routing, specify the no ip routing command and then specify ip routing to reenable it. For more information, see the Cisco IOS software command references.

Configuration commands can also have a default form. The default form of a command returns the command setting to its default. Most commands are disabled by default, so the default form is the same as the no form. However, some commands are enabled by default and have variables set to certain default values. In these cases, the default command enables the command and sets variables to their default values. For more information, see the Cisco IOS software command reference publications.


Note The router configuration file shows only the non-default condition of a function. For example, if Cisco Discovery Protocol is in effect (the default cdp enable command) it is not displayed in the configuration file, whereas if Cisco Discovery Protocol is disabled (no cdp enable command), that condition is displayed in the configuration file.

Initial Setup

You can configure your router manually using the setup script or the Cisco IOS software command-line interface (CLI) in the System Configuration Dialog.

The setup script prompts you to enter values appropriate for your router and network. Many prompts include default answers shown in square brackets following the question. Enter your response, or press Return to accept the default answer.

The CLI is used to configure the router manually or if you have to change the configuration after you have run the setup command facility.


Note You can request help at any time by entering a question mark (?) at a setup prompt. If you make a mistake, you can exit and run the System Configuration Dialog again. Press Ctrl-c, and type setup at the privileged EXEC mode (enable) prompt (3620#).

For complete information on using the configuration setup script, refer to the Documentation CD-ROM included in your router package. (Path to this information: Cisco Product Documentation>Access Servers and Access Routers>Modular Access Routers>Cisco 3600 Series Routers>Software Configuration Guide.)

    1. Connect a console to your router. If you need help, see the "Connect the Console Cable" section.

    2. Power ON the router.

    Messages will begin to appear in your terminal emulation program window.

Caution Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop. Any keys pressed during this time are interpreted as the first command typed. It will take a few minutes for the messages to stop.
