Preparing to Connect the Router

Before you connect the router to the devices, install the router according to the instructions in the “Installing the Router” section.

Preventing Damage to the Router

To prevent damage to your router, follow these guidelines when connecting devices to your router:

  • Turn off power to the devices and to the router until all connections are completed.
caut.gif

Caution blank.gif Do not turn on the devices until after you have completed all connections to the router.

  • If you must supply your own cable, see the “Cisco 860, 880, 890 Series” section for cabling specifications. If this appendix does not provide specifications for a particular cable, we strongly recommend ordering the cable from Cisco.

Connecting a PC, Server, or Workstation

To connect a PC (or other Ethernet devices) to an Ethernet switch port, follow these steps:


Step 1blank.gif Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to an Ethernet switch port on the router. See Figure 3-1.

Connecting an External Ethernet Switch

If more than four PCs in an office must be connected to each other, you can add Ethernet connections to the router by connecting an external Ethernet switch to the Ethernet switch on the router.

To connect an external Ethernet switch to an Ethernet switch port on the router, perform these steps:


Step 1blank.gif Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to an Ethernet switch port on the router. (See Figure 3-2.)

Step 3blank.gif Turn on the Ethernet switch.


 

Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port

Connect a terminal or PC to the Console port either to configure the software by using the CLI or to troubleshoot problems with the router.

To connect a terminal or PC to the console port on the router and access the CLI, follow these steps:


Step 1blank.gif Connect the RJ-45 end of a DB-9-to-RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 Console port on the router. Figure 3-3 shows the RJ-45 end of the serial cable connected to the Console port on the router.

note.gif

Noteblank.gif Antenna orientation can increase or decrease signal reception due to polarization. Typically, an SP’s transmitting antenna on the BTS is a vertically polarized omnidirectional antenna, which means the electromagnetic waves are transmitted from it in a vertical plane. Hence, the receiving antenna needs to be vertically oriented too in order to receive the best signal. As the angle of the antenna orientation is changed from vertical to horizontal, only an angular component of the signal is picked up by the antenna. Therefore, if the antenna orientation is horizontal, the antenna picks up the least signal. The signal is received by the antenna as a result of it bouncing off of reflective surfaces. Hence, depending on where the antenna is placed, it may receive different signal strengths. However, the recommended position is vertical.

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.
caut.gif

Caution blank.gif 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).

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

Connecting an FXS Line

Use a standard straight-through RJ-11 modular telephone cable to connect a Foreign Exchange Service (FXS) port to a telephone or fax machine.

warn.gif

Warningblank.gif This equipment contains a ring signal generator (ringer), which is a source of hazardous voltage. Do not touch the RJ-11 (phone) port wires (conductors), the conductors of a cable connected to the RJ-11 port, or the associated circuit-board when the ringer is active. The ringer is activated by an incoming call. Statement 1042

note.gif

Noteblank.gif If you have specified the use of a private line automatic ringdown (PLAR) off-premises extension (OPX) connection mode for an FXO voice port (with loop resistance less than 8000 Ohm), you must ensure that the soft-offhook option is enabled on the port.

This option allows a stepped offhook resistance during seizure, which avoids overloading the circuit during offhook in the event that ringing voltage is present on the circuit at the same time as the trunk seizure. The stepped offhook resistance is initially set to 800 Ohms, then adjusts to 50 Ohms when ringing voltage is not present.

To enable the soft-offhook command on the port, and to access the connection command with plar opx syntax, see the Cisco Command Lookup Tool.



 

Connecting a Voice ISDN BRI Line
