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

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.

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 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:

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 Guide, which is available on the Cisco Documentation CD-ROM.
