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.
