2.2 Inspect Contents of the Shipping Carton

Check the shipping carton carefully and verify that the contents include the items you ordered. You can identify the Cisco 627 by the product name on the bottom of the front end of the modem (the end with the LEDs).

The contents of your carton may vary depending on your equipment provider. Table 2-2 shows a list of the standard 627 shipment contents.

Note Contact Cisco or your equipment provider if any items you ordered were not delivered. Refer to "System Connectors," for information on connector pin assignments.

2.3 Hardware Requirements

The following hardware is necessary to configure management virtual connections:

Note If only a DB-25 serial port is available on the computer, you also need a DB-9-to-DB-25 adapter to connect the RJ-45 cable to the computer.

2.4 Set Up the Cisco 627 Hardware Environment

This section describes how to set up the hardware environment for your Cisco 627.

2.4.1 Connect the Management Port to the Serial Port

Perform the following procedure to connect the Cisco 627 for configuration of management VCs and/or passwords.

Step 1 Connect the RJ-45 connector on the serial cable to the Cisco 627 management port. (See Figure 2-2.)

Step 2 Connect the other end of the serial cable to the computer serial port. If your computer only uses a DB-25 serial port, a DB-9-to-DB-25 adapter is needed in order to connect the management cable.

Step 3 Use a terminal access program to access the Cisco 627.

Step 4 Log on to the Cisco Broadband Operating System (CBOS) as outlined in the "Logon to the CBOS" section on page 3-2.

2.4.2 Configure the Serial Port

Use a terminal access program (such as Hyperterminal in Windows) to set the COM protocol to these settings:

2.4.3 Connect All Cables to the Network Using a POTS Splitter

A POTS splitter separates data signals from voice signals on your telephone line. The POTS splitter works by running a separate data line from the voice line, so that the ADSL modem has a dedicated cable for data transmission. Figure 2-3 shows telephone equipment connected to a POTS splitter.


Figure 2-3: Phone Equipment Connected Through a POTS Splitter


Note The POTS splitter can also be installed on the outside of the house adjacent to the telephone network interface device (NID).

To install the Cisco 627 using a POTS splitter, follow these steps:

Step 1 Plug the power connector into the back of the unit.

Step 2 Connect the ATM-25 cable into the ATM-25 connector on the rear panel of the Cisco 627. Connect the other end of the ATM-25 cable to your premises router; for example, a Cisco 1401.

Step 3 Connect the RJ-11 cable to the WALL connector on the rear panel of the Cisco 627. Connect the other end of that cable to the POTS splitter.

Figure 2-4 illustrates how to connect all cables to the rear panel.

2.5 Warnings and Cautions

Warning To prevent dangerous overloading of the power circuit, read the label on the rear panel of the Cisco 627 that indicates maximum power load ratings. Failure to follow these rating guidelines could result in a dangerous situation.
Warning Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
Warning Never install telephone wiring during an electrical storm.
Warning Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
Warning Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
Caution Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Warning Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Warning Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
