Description

10BASE-T Ethernet port(s)

All

Provides connection to 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) Ethernet networks. Compatible with 10/100-Mbps devices.

ISDN BRI S/T port

Cisco 801 and 803

Provides connection to ISDN S/T network.

ISDN BRI U port

Cisco 802 and 804

Provides connection to ISDN U network.

IDSL port

Cisco 802 IDSL and 804 IDSL

Provides connection to IDSL network.

Telephone ports

Cisco 803 and 804

Provide connection to telephone, fax machine, or modem, which are connected to telephone services through ISDN line.

Internal Network Termination 1 (NT1)

Cisco 802 and 804

Eliminates need for an external NT1 in North America.1

Flash memory

All

8 MB of Flash memory.2

Dynamic RAM (DRAM)

All

4 MB of DRAM.2

Easily distinguishable ISDN B-channel LEDs

All

ISDN B-channel LEDs in a different color from other LEDs.

Ease of installation

All

Color-coded ports and cables to reduce the chance of error.

Cisco IOS software

All

Supports Cisco IOS software.

Cisco 800 Fast Step application

All

Provides a Windows 95-, Windows 98-, and Windows NT-based software tool for basic configurations.

Console port

All

Provides connection to terminal or PC for software configuration using command-line interface and for troubleshooting.


Note The console port is a service port.


Cable lock

All

Provides a way to physically secure the router.

Locking power connector

All

Locks power connector in place.

Wall-mount feature

All

Brackets on router bottom provide a way to mount router on wall or vertical surface.

1 Although the ISDN U interfaces on the Cisco 802 and Cisco 804 routers provide internal NT1s, the routers themselves do not function as NT1s. You cannot connect S/T devices to Cisco 802 and Cisco 804 routers.

2 An additional 8 MB of Flash memory and 4 or 8 MB of DRAM can be added at the factory or later. You can order upgrade kits and have trained and qualified personnel add the memory. The Cisco product number for the 8-MB Flash memory upgrade kit is MEM800-8F and the numbers for the DRAM upgrade kits are MEM800-4D and MEM800-8D.

Back Panels

The figures in this section show the back panel of each of the Cisco 800 series routers.

If the symbol of suitability () appears above a port, you can connect the port directly to a public network that follows the European Union standards.


Warning If the symbol of suitability with an overlaid cross () appears above a port, you must not connect the port to a public network that follows the European Union standards. Connecting the port to this type of public network can cause severe injury or damage your router.
