2 Overview

This document describes the steps for installing your Cisco 1711 or Cisco 1712 Security Access router.

The Cisco 1711 Security Access router is a fixed configuration router that includes a 1-port analog modem card (WIC-1-AM) that is installed in the WAN interface card (WIC) slot 1. The Cisco 1711 Security Access router also includes an integrated 4-port 10/100-Mbps Ethernet switch in WIC slot 0, an onboard Fast Ethernet port external interface, and a Virtual Private Network (VPN) module in the router's internal slot. The analog modem WIC and the switch port WIC are not field replaceable.

The Cisco 1712 Security Access router is a fixed configuration router that includes a 1-port Integrated Services Digital Network Basic Rate Interface (ISDN-BRI) S/T interface card (WIC-1B-S/T) that is installed in the WAN interface card (WIC) slot 1. The Cisco 1712 Security Access router also includes an integrated 4-port 10/100-Mbps Ethernet switch in WIC slot 0, an onboard Fast Ethernet port external interface, and a virtual private network (VPN) module in the router's internal slot. The ISDN WIC and the switch port WIC are not field replaceable.

The Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers provide secure Internet connectivity and dial backup using the analog modem port (on the Cisco 1711) or the ISDN port (on the Cisco 1712) in the event that your primary connection fails. The switch ports and the onboard 10/100-Mbps Ethernet port enable you to configure a demilitarized zone (DMZ) using virtual local area networks (VLANs) and Cisco IOS firewall features.

Additional documentation can be found on Cisco.com.

Product Serial Number Location

The serial number label for Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 routers is located on the rear of the chassis, to the right of the On/Off switch.

Product documentation

Items You Need to Provide

Depending on your network environment, you may need to provide some of the following items so that you can install the router:

Straight-through Ethernet cables (RJ-45-to-RJ-45) to connect the router to a broadband (xDSL or cable) modem and to a hub or switch

Straight-through or crossover cables to connect WICs to the appropriate WAN services (the integrated switch ports operate in auto-detect mode)

Ethernet hub or switch to connect the router to the local network, or an xDSL or cable modem to connect the router to the service provider

Server or other computer with a network interface card (NIC) or other networked device (such as a hub or a switch) to connect to the integrated 4-port 10/100-Mbps Ethernet switch

(Cisco 1712 only) External Network Termination (NT-1), if needed, to connect the WIC to WAN services. (Some ISDN service providers require an external NT-1 device to connect an ISDN S/T port to the ISDN line.)

4 Connecting the Router

Figure 1 shows a typical installation of the Cisco 1711 or Cisco 1712 Security Access router.

Figure 1 Typical Cisco 1711 or Cisco 1712 Installation

Follow these steps to connect the router to the power supply, your local network, and your service provider's network:


Step 1 Connect power to the router as shown in Figure 1:

a. Connect the attached power supply cord to the power socket (labeled +5, +12, -12 VDC) on the back panel of the router.

b. Connect the separate power cord to the power socket on the power supply.

c. Connect the other end of the separate power cord to a power outlet.

d. Turn on the router by pressing the power switch to the on ( | ) position.

e. Confirm that the router has power by checking that the PWR LED on the front panel is on.

Step 2 To connect the router to your network, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port (RJ-45), and connect the other end of the cable to a port on the hub or switch, as shown in Figure 1.


Note The example provided in Figure 1 shows connectivity to a hub. The router's Ethernet switch port can be connected to another networked device, such as a switch or computer with a NIC. If you are connecting the router's switch port to another switch, use a crossover cable. If you are connecting a computer to the router's switch port, it will take about 30 seconds for connectivity to be established.


Step 3 To use Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) to configure your router, you must connect a PC to the first Ethernet switch port on the 4ESW module. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the switch port labeled 1x, and connect the other end to the Ethernet port on your PC.


Caution Always connect the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the router. Accidentally connecting the cable to the wrong port can damage your router.

Step 4 To connect the router to your service provider's network, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the 10/100 ETHERNET port (the yellow port); connect the other end of the cable to a network port on your service provider's broadband (xDSL or cable) modem equipment, as shown in Figure 1.


Caution Always connect the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the router. Accidentally connecting the cable to the wrong port can damage your router.

Step 5 (Optional) To make a backup connection to your service provider's network, follow the instructions for your router model below:

The Cisco 1711 router supports a 56-kbps dial-up connection to your service provider's network that can serve as a backup connection to your service provider in the event that your primary connection goes down. To make a backup dial-up connection, connect one end of a straight-through RJ-11 cable to the Analog Modem port on WIC-1-AM module on the router, as shown in Figure 1, and connect the other end of the cable to your telephone wall jack.

The Cisco 1712 router supports an ISDN-BRI S/T connection to your service provider's network that can serve as a backup connection in the event that your primary connection go down. To make a backup ISDN connection, connect one end of an RJ-45 ISDN cable to the ISDN-BRI S/T port on WIC-1B-S/T module on the router, as shown in Figure 1; connect the other end of the cable to your ISDN wall jack.


Note To configure your router for a backup dial-up or ISDN connection, you must use the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI). For more information, see the Cisco 1700 Series Router Software Configuration Guide.



5 Configuring the Router Using Cisco Router and Security Device Manager

Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) is a web-based configuration tool that allows you to configure LAN and WAN interfaces, routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), firewalls, VPNs, and other features on your router. If SDM is installed on your router, configure the router by following the instructions in the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) Quick Start Guide. If this document was not shipped with your router, you can obtain SDM and instructions for installing it on your router from the following location:


To obtain the SDM release notes, and other SDM documentation, go to http://www.cisco.com/go/sdm and click the Technical Documentation link.

6 Connecting a PC to the Router's Console Port

This step is optional, and required only if you want to use the Cisco IOS CLI to configure or troubleshoot the router, instead of SDM. To use Cisco IOS, you must connect the router to a terminal or to a PC with terminal emulation software. Terminal emulation software should be configured with the following settings:

9600 baud

8 data bits

No parity bits

1 stop bit

The Cisco 1700 Router Software Configuration Guide describes how to configure the router by using Cisco IOS software.

Follow these steps to connect the router to a terminal or PC:


Step 1 Connect the RJ-45 end of the console cable to the CONSOLE port on the back panel of the router, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Connecting the Console Cable to the Router

Step 2 Connect the DB-9 end of the console cable to the console port (also called the serial port) on your PC. If this adapter does not fit your PC console port, you must provide an adapter that fits.
