Safety with Electricity
Warning
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
Warning
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Both LAN and WAN ports may use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Warning
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the router is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the router first.
Warning
The ISDN connection is regarded as a source of voltage that should be inaccessible to user contact. Do not attempt to tamper with or open any public telephone operator (PTO)-provided equipment or connection hardware. Any hardwired connection (other than by a nonremovable, connect-one-time-only plug) must be made only by PTO staff or suitably trained engineers.
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
•
•
•
•
•

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
CautionTo avoid damaging ESD-sensitive components, ensure that you have discharged all static electricity from your body before opening the chassis.
CautionFor safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

Configuring the HSSI Interface
Whenever you install a new interface, or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must configure it. If you replace a module that was already configured, the router recognizes it and brings up the interface using the existing configuration.
Before you configure an interface, have the following information available:
•
•
Timesaver
Obtain this information from your system administrator or network plan before you begin to configure the router.
To configure an HSSI interface, you must use configuration mode (manual configuration). In this mode, you can enter Cisco IOS commands at the router prompt.
Before you begin to configure an interface, disconnect all WAN cables from the router to keep it from trying to run the AutoInstall process. The router tries to run AutoInstall whenever you power it ON if there is a WAN connection on both ends and the router does not have a valid configuration file stored in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) (for instance, when you add a new interface). It can take several minutes for the router to determine that AutoInstall is not connected to a remote Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) host.
If you have questions or need help, refer to the section "Cisco Connection Online" later in this document for more information.
Configuring the HSSI Interface for Connection to a DSU
This section describes basic configuration, including enabling the interface and specifying IP routing. Depending on your own requirements and the protocols you plan to route, you might also need to enter other configuration commands.
