If any items you ordered were not delivered, please contact Cisco or your equipment provider. Refer to "Cisco 676 Connectors" for information on connector pin assignments.
The following hardware is necessary to configure and use the 676:
The following sections describe how to connect and configure the Cisco 676 ADSL Router.
To configure your 676, follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect the RJ-45 connector on the serial cable to the 676 management port. See Figure 2 for the location of the management port.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the serial cable to the computer serial port. If your computer is equipped only with a DB25 serial port, you need a DB9 male-to-DB25 female adapter.
Step 3 Use the terminal access program from your PC's operating system to access the Cisco 676.
Step 4 Login to CBOS as outlined in "Logon to the CBOS" section.
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:
Connecting cables differs depending on whether or not your phone equipment is connected to a POTS splitter.
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 5 shows phone equipment connected to a POTS splitter. Figure 8 shows how to connect all cables to the 676.
Perform the following procedure to connect the Cisco 676.
Step 1 Plug the Power Connector into the back of the unit.
Step 2 Connect the Ethernet cable.
If you are connecting your 676 to a single Ethernet-equipped PC, use the "no-hub" twisted-pair crossover cable to connect the 676 ENET port to the Ethernet port on your computer. If you are connecting the 676 to a home network, use a standard Ethernet cable (not provided) to connect your 676 ENET port to an avialable port on your home network Ethernet hub.
Step 3 Connect the ADSL cable to the 676 and then connect the 676 to the ADSL line with the telephone cable provided.
Step 4 If you are using an external POTS Splitter, connect the ADSL cable to the wall connector that is labelled as going to the external POTS Splitter. See Figure 6.
The following figure illustrates how to connect a Cisco 676 when using an external POTS Splitter.
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 a telephone can interfere with the modem's operation, and the modem can cause noise on the telephone line. To protect this from happening, small microfilters must be connected to the telephone lines. If you implement an EZ-DSL configuration, your installation lanscape looks like the following.
The following figure illustrates how to connect all cables to the rear panel connectors of the Cisco 676 unit.
In the EZ-DSL configuration, your phone equipment is not connected to a POTS splitter.

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.
The Cisco 676 comes equipped with an extra phone connector port that you can plug your phone into. This phone port has a built-in microfilter.
The following figure illustrates how to cable the connectors to the rear panel of the 676 unit for this configuration.

Carry out the following steps to cable the Cisco 676:
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 676 to the computer's Ethernet adapter with the crossover cable provided. Otherwise, connect the 676's Ethernet port to an Ethernet hub via a straight through cable.
Step 3 Connect the ADSL cable to the 676 and then connect the 676 to the ADSL line with the telephone cable provided.
Step 1 Connect power to the 676 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; as shown in Figure 2-7.
Step 2 Once you have powered up the 676, check that the Power LED is green-colored and ON.
Step 3 If the Power LED is not lit, immediately turn off all power to the 676. Refer to "Troubleshooting" for information.
