The contents of your carton may vary depending on your service provider. Table 2-2 shows a list of the standard contents of a Cisco 677 shipment.
| Contents | Description |
|---|---|
Cisco 677 | Cisco's ADSL DMT router for home/office use. |
Quick Reference Card for the Cisco 677 ADSL DMT Router | Quick start information for the Cisco 677. |
Cisco 677 ADSL DMT Router Installation and Operation Guide (this publication) | Technical documentation for the Cisco 677. |
Cisco Broadband Operating System User Guide | Technical documentation for the Cisco Broadband Operating System used by the Cisco 677. |
Power supply | North American AC power adapter. |
ADSL cable | RJ-11 telephone cable (14 ft). |
Ethernet cable | Yellow Ethernet category 5 "no-hub" twisted pair crossover cable (6 ft). |
Your shipment might optionally contain a management cable (RJ-45-to-DB-9 serial cable). (See Figure 2-1).
If any items you ordered were not delivered, please contact Cisco or your service provider. Refer to "Cisco 677 Connectors" for information on connector pin assignments.
The following hardware is necessary to configure and use the Cisco 677:
This section describes how to connect and configure the Cisco 677 ADSL DMT router.
Follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect the RJ-45 connector on the serial cable to the Cisco 677 management port. (See Figure 2-2.)
Step 2 Connect the other end of the serial cable to the computer serial port. If your computer is equipped only with a DB-25 serial port, you need a DB-9-male-to-DB-25-female adapter.
Step 3 Use the terminal emulation program from your PC's operating system to access the Cisco 677.
Step 4 Log in to the Cisco Broadband Operating System (CBOS) as outlined in "Log On to the Cisco Broadband Operating System" section.
For the best access to the CBOS, use your terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal in Windows) to set your COM protocol to the following settings:
The procedure for connecting cables differs depending on whether or not your telephone equipment is connected to 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 router has a dedicated cable for data transmission. Figure 2-3 shows telephone equipment connected to a POTS splitter. Figure 2-6 shows how to connect all cables to the Cisco 677.
Figure 2-4 shows how to connect a Cisco 677 when using an external POTS splitter.
In the EZ-DSL configuration, your telephone 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 router's operation, and the router can cause noise on the telephone line. To prevent this from happening, small microfilters must be connected to the telephone lines. If you implement an EZ-DSL configuration, your installation landscape should look similar to Figure 2-5.
Figure 2-6 shows how to connect the cables to the Cisco 677.
Complete the following steps to connect the cables to the Cisco 677:
Step 1 Plug the power cable into the back of the unit.
Step 2 Connect the Ethernet cable.
If the computer at the customer premises has only a single Ethernet-equipped computer, attach the Cisco 677 to the computer's Ethernet adapter with the crossover cable provided. Otherwise, connect the Cisco 677's Ethernet port to an Ethernet hub via a straight-through cable.
Step 3 Connect the ADSL cable to the Cisco 677 and then connect the Cisco 677 to the ADSL line with the telephone cable provided.
Step 1 Connect power to the Cisco 677 by plugging the power supply into an appropriate electrical outlet.
Step 2 When you have powered up the Cisco 677, check that the Power LED is ON.
Step 3 If the Power LED is not lit, immediately remove the barrel power connector from the Cisco 677. Refer to "Troubleshooting," for information.
Step 4 To power down the Cisco 677, unplug the power supply cable from the Cisco 677 rear panel PWR connector.
 | Warning To prevent dangerous overloading of the power circuit, read the label on the rear of the Cisco 677 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. |
