Cisco 827 Router Cabling and Setup
Quick Start Guide

This document describes the basic process of cabling and configuring the Internet access device, the Cisco 827 router. For advanced cabling information, refer to the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide. For advanced configuration information, refer to the Cisco 827 Routers Software Configuration Guide. These documents are available on the Cisco Documentation CD-ROM and on the World Wide Web.

You can access the most current Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at the following sites:

Parts List

The shipment of your Cisco 827 router includes the following items:

Figure 1 shows the items included with the router. If any of the items is missing or damaged, contact your customer service representative.


Figure 1: Items Included with the Router

Verify the PC Setup

Before you begin, verify that each computer that will be connected to the router 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 PC Configuration Instructions to Establish Cisco Router-to-PC Communications, which is available on the Cisco Documentation CD-ROM, and refer to information available the Microsoft web site.

Connect the Cisco 827 Router to a PC

Follow these steps to connect the Cisco 827 router to a PC:


Figure 2:
Connecting a Cisco 827 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 NIC on the computer.

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.


Connect the Cisco 827 Router to a Hub

Follow these steps to connect the Cisco 827 router to a hub:


Figure 3:
Connecting a Cisco 827 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.

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.


Connect an ADSL Line

Follow these steps to connect an ADSL line to the ADSL port on your router.


Note   The following instructions are for a straight-through ADSL cable, but they also apply if you are using a crossover cable to connect your ADSL line. One ADSL cable is supplied with the Cisco 827 router, and it is selected during the ordering process. If you have microfilters or do not have the phone service on the same line, use the lavender CAB-ADSL-RJ11 cable. If you have a splitter installed, use the lavender with blue stripe CAB-ADSL-RJ11X cable.


Figure 4: Connecting a Cisco 827 Router to an ADSL Line

Step 1   Connect the lavender ADSL cable to the lavender ADSL port on the router.

Step 2   Connect the other end of the ADSL cable to the external wall jack.


Connect a Telephone or Fax Machine

If you have a Cisco 827-4V router, you can connect an analog telephone or fax machine to your router. Use the cables provided with these devices.

The gray PHONE 4, 3, 2, and 1 ports are RJ-11 connectors. If you are outside of North America, you must buy and attach adapters that allow your telephones or faxes to be connected to these RJ-11 connectors. In some countries, these adapters need additional electronics to convert the telephones or faxes to work properly with the router phone ports. For example, in the United Kingdom, you must buy an adapter that also provides a master socket, which causes incoming calls to ring the connected devices. For information on recommended master sockets, see the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide.


Caution   Do not connect the router telephone ports to the telephone wall jack. These ports are not meant for direct connection to the public network. This connection can damage your router.


Figure 5:
Connecting a Telephone to a Cisco 827-4V Router
Step 1   Connect one end of the telephone cable to the gray PHONE 4, 3, 2, or 1 port.

Step 2   Connect the other end of the cable to your device.


Connect the Power and Turn On the Router

Follow these steps to connect power to the Cisco 827 router and turn it on:


Figure 6:
Connecting the Power to a Cisco 827 Router
Step 1   Make sure the router power is off. Press the power switch to standby ( 
 ).

Step 2   Connect the power supply cable to the 8-pin connector on the router.

Step 3   Connect the socket end of the power cord to the desktop power supply.

Step 4   Connect the plug end of the power cord to an electrical outlet.

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


Set Up the Router to Access the Network

The Cisco Router Web Setup (CRWS) software is already loaded on your Cisco 827 router. You can use CRWS to configure the Cisco 827 router. If you purchased your router through an Internet service provider (ISP), it is possible that your router has been configured for use at your site. If you know this is not the case, or if you have purchased Cisco IOS software for the router since installing it, we recommend that you use CRWS to configure the router.


Step 1   Log on to the PC connected to the router through the ETHERNET port.

Step 2   Open a web browser.

Step 3   Type in the following 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.

Step 5   If the CRWS home page does not appear when you enter the URL http://10.10.10.1 , test the connection between the PC and the router by doing the following:
