Optional Cisco 675e Contents

If any items you ordered were not delivered, please contact Cisco or your equipment provider. (For pin assignments of connectors used with your Cisco 675e, refer to "Cisco 675e Connectors")

2.3 Hardware Requirements

The following hardware is necessary to configure and use the Cisco 675e:

Note If only a DB25 serial port is available on the computer, a DB9-to-DB25 adapter is also needed to connect the serial cable to the computer.

2.4 Set Up the Cisco 675e Hardware Environment

Consult the following section to set up the hardware environment for your Cisco 675e.

2.4.1 Connect the Management Port to the Serial Port

To configure your Cisco 675e, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect the RJ-45 connector on the serial cable to the Cisco 675e management port. See Figure 2-2 for location of management port.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the serial cable to the computer serial port. (If your computer has only a DB25 serial port, a DB9-to-DB25 adapter is needed for connection.)

Step 3 Use the terminal access program from your PC's operating system to access the Cisco 675e.

Step 4 Login to CBOS as outlined in the "Logon to the CBOS" section.

2.4.2 Configure the Serial Port

For the best access to the Cisco Operating System, use your Terminal Access Program (such as HyperTerminal in Windows) to set your COM protocol to the following settings:

2.4.3 Connect All Cables to the Network

Connecting cables differs depending on whether or not your phone equipment is connected to a POTS splitter.

POTS Splitter Configuration

A POTS splitter separates data signals from voice signals on your phone 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 phone equipment connected to a POTS splitter.


Figure 2-3: Phone Equipment connected through POTS splitter


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

Carry out the following steps to cable the Cisco 675e:

Step 1 Plug the Power Connector into the back of the unit.

Step 2 Connect the Ethernet cable.

If the computer at the customer premise has only a single Ethernet-equipped computer, attach the Cisco 675e to the computer's Ethernet adapter with the crossover cable provided. Otherwise, connect the Ethernet port of the Cisco 675e to an Ethernet hub via a straight through cable.

Step 3 Connect the ADSL cable to the Cisco 675e and then connect the Cisco 675e to the ADSL line with the telephone cable provided.

The following figure illustrates how to cable the connectors to the rear panel of the Cisco 675e unit for this configuration.


Figure 2-4: Connecting Cables in a POTS Splitter Configuration


EZ-DSL (Splitterless) Configuration

In the EZ-DSL configuration, your phone equipment is not connected to a POTS splitter. Without a POTS Splitter and under certain circumstances, transient noise from the phone can interfere with the modem's operation, and the modem can cause noise on the phone line. To protect this from happening, small microfilters should be connected to the phone lines. If your phone equipment uses EZ-DSL, your configuration looks like the following.


Figure 2-5: Splitterless Configuration


The Cisco 675e comes equipped with an extra phone connector port into which you can plug your phone. This phone port has a built-in microfilter.

Note Do not connect a phone to the phone connector if you have a POTS Splitter installed. Contact your service provider to verify your configuration.

The following figure illustrates how to cable the connectors to the rear panel of the Cisco 675e unit for this configuration.


Figure 2-6: Cabling for the EZ-DSL Configuration


Carry out the following steps to cable the Cisco 675e:

Step 1 Plug the Power Connector into the back of the unit.

Step 2 Connect the Ethernet cable.

If the computer at the customer premise has only a single Ethernet-equipped computer, attach the Cisco 675e to the computer's Ethernet adapter with the crossover cable provided. Otherwise, connect the Ethernet port of the Cisco 675e to an Ethernet hub via a straight through cable.

Step 3 Connect the ADSL cable to the Cisco 675e and then connect the Cisco 675e to the ADSL line with the telephone cable provided.

Note The microfilters do not work if connected improperly. For connection instructions, see "EZ-DSL Microfilter Specification".

2.5 Power On the Cisco 675e

Step 1 Connect power to the Cisco 675e by plugging one end of the power supply into an appropriate electrical outlet and the other end into the power connector on the back of the unit.

Note Cisco recommends that you unplug your Cisco 675e unit when you are not using it.

Step 2 Once you have powered up the Cisco 675e, check that the Power LED is ON.
