Connecting a Data BRI Port

You can connect the Data BRI port to the ISDN service provider as a backup link to the WAN port in case the primary xDSL (general term referring to various forms of DSL, including global industry standard symmetrical high-speed DSL [G.SHDSL]) WAN service fails. The Data BRI connection is not available on the third-generation (3G) models.

The cabling requirements for the ISDN S/T connection are as follows:

You must provide two unshielded Category 5 cables. The first cable connects the NT1 box to the splitter, and the second cable connects the splitter to the wall jack.

There are RJ-45 connectors at both ends of the default orange ISDN S/T cable. However, an RJ-45-to-RJ-11 ISDN S/T cable is available upon request if the wall jack at the site requires an RJ-11 connector. Contact your router reseller for the appropriate cable.


Caution Both LAN and WAN ports use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables to these connectors. To avoid damage to the router, do not connect telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits (such as ISDN or DSL circuits) to safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits (such as LAN circuits).

Although the following procedure shows a Cisco 888W data router, this procedure applies to all Cisco 880 series router with a Data BRI port.

To connect the Data BRI port to the ISDN service provider, follow these steps:


Step 1 Connect one end of the orange ISDN S/T cable to the Data BRI port on the router. Figure 3-19 shows a Data BRI connection.

Online Insertion and Removal

Online insertion and removal (OIR) of the SFP module is supported on the Cisco 892F ISRs.


Note If an SFP module is inserted with auto-failover or SFP media-type already configured, the port is forced to the speed and duplex capability of the SFP. For a 100 base SFP, the speed is set to 100 and duplex can be configured to either half or full. For a 1000 base SFP, the speed is set to 1000 and duplex is set to full.


Verifying Connections

To verify that all devices are properly connected to the router, first turn on all the connected devices, then check the LEDs. To verify router operation, refer to Table 3-3.

For full LED description, see Table 1-4 and Table 1-2.
