3 Parts List

The shipment of your router includes the following items:

•One Cisco 826 or Cisco SOHO 76 router

•One yellow Ethernet cable

•One lavender ADSL cable

•One light blue console cable

•One black power supply

•One black power supply cord

•Cisco 800 and SOHO Series Product Documentation

If any of the items is missing or damaged, contact your customer service representative.

4 Verify the PC Setup

If you are connecting a PC to the router Ethernet port, you must first verify that the PC has a network interface card (NIC) installed and that Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) has been loaded and configured. For more information on how to configure TCP/IP, refer to the Microsoft documentation provided with your Windows operating system.

5 Connect the Router to a PC

Follow these steps to connect the Cisco 826 or Cisco SOHO 76 router to a PC:

Step 1 Connect the yellow Ethernet cable from the yellow Ethernet port on the back panel of the router to the Ethernet port on the computer, as shown in Figure 1.

Step 2 Verify that the TO HUB/TO PC switch on the left side of the back panel has been set to the TO PC position (out). If the button is in, press it to set it to the out position.

6 Connect the Router to a Hub

Follow these steps to connect the Cisco 826 or Cisco SOHO 76 router to a hub:

Step 1 Connect the yellow Ethernet cable from the yellow Ethernet port on the back panel of the router to the Ethernet port on the hub, as shown in Figure 2.

Step 2 Verify that the TO HUB/TO PC switch on the left side of the back panel has been set to the TO HUB position (in). If the button is out, press it to set it to the in position.

7 Connect an ADSL Line

Follow these steps to connect an ADSL to the ADSL over ISDN port on your router:

Step 1 Connect the lavender ADSL cable to the lavender ADSL over ISDN port on the router, as shown in Figure 3. If you have microfilters or do not have telephone service on the ADSL line, use the lavender CAB-ADSL-RJ11 cable. If you have a splitter installed, use the lavender CAB-ADSL-RJ11X cable with the blue stripe. One of these two ADSL cables is supplied with the router. (The cable supplied is the one that was selected during the ordering process.)

Step 5 Turn on the router. Press the power switch to on (|).

9 Verify the Connections by Using the LEDs

The following table describes the normal condition for LEDs and what to do if you observe an abnormal condition. For more information on all LEDs or to resolve problems, see the Cisco 826 and Cisco SOHO 76 Router Hardware Installation Guide.

LED
Normal Condition
Explanation
Actions to Take

OK

On

Power is supplied to the router.

If the LED is off, power is not being supplied to the router. Check the outlet to make sure that it is not switched off. Check the power cables to verify that the cable from the outlet to the power supply is properly connected. Check the cable from the power supply to the router to make sure that it is properly connected.

ADSL CD

On

ADSL is connected.

If the LED is off, check the connections. Also, verify that service is being provided to the premises.

ADSL RXD

Blinking

ADSL port receives data.

If the LED is off continuously and you know that data is being sent to the router, check the ADSL connections. Also, check to ensure that the router or the ADSL switch (the service provider device) is properly configured.

ADSL TXD

Blinking

ADSL port sends data.

If the LED is off continuously and you know that data is being sent to the router, check the ADSL connections. Also, check to ensure that the router is properly configured.

ETHERNET 1

On

Ethernet device is connected.

If the LED is off, toggle the TO HUB/TO PC button (if set to TO HUB [in], reset to TO PC [out], and vice versa). Also, make sure that the connected device is powered on.

ETHERNET RXD

Blinking

Ethernet port is receiving a packet.

If the LED is off continuously and you are that sure another device is attempting to send data to the router, check the Ethernet connections. Also, make sure that the router or the LAN device attempting to send data to the router is properly configured.

ETHERNET TXD

Blinking

Ethernet port is transmitting a packet.

If the LED is off continuously and you are sure that the router is attempting to send data to another device, check the Ethernet connections. Also, make sure that the router is properly configured.


10 Set Up the Router to Access the Network

The Cisco Router Web Setup (CRWS) software is already loaded on your router. If you purchased your router through an Internet service provider (ISP), it is possible that your router has already been configured for use at your site, and no additional configuration is necessary.

If your router has not been configured by your service provider or network administrator, it can be configured by using the command-line interface (CLI). However, unless you are an advanced user, we recommend that you use CRWS to configure the router. CRWS is a web-based utility that makes it easy to configure the router by following the setup instructions on the screen. (Detailed information about CRWS is provided in the Cisco Router Web Setup User's Guide.)

To launch CRWS, complete these steps:

Step 1 Log on to a PC connected to the router LAN (ETHERNET).

Step 2 Open a web browser.

Step 3 Type in the universal resource locator (URL) http://10.10.10.1.

Step 4 Click the Router Setup link in the Cisco Router Web Setup home page, and follow the instructions that appear in the page that is displayed.

If the CRWS home page does not appear when you enter the URL (Step 3), test the connection between the PC and the router by doing the following:

•Check that the OK LED on the router is on.

•Check the connection between the router and the PC, including the cable from the PC to the hub, and the cable from the hub to the PC.

•Be sure that the TO HUB/TO PC button is in the correct position.

If the CRWS home page still does not appear, verify that the web browser's Work Offline option is disabled.

If the web page still does not appear, verify that your PC is automatically configured to receive an IP address. Follow the instructions in the Cisco Router Web Setup User's Guide, which is available on Cisco.com.
