Connecting the Router to the LAN
Cisco 1600 Series Router Hardware Installation Guide 2-4
Connecting the Router to the LAN
The router can be connected to two 10BaseT or AUI Ethernet LANs.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during
periods of lightning activity.
Warning The ports labeled 10BASET, CONSOLE, and FLASH PC CARD are
safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected
to other SELV circuits. Because the BRI circuits are treated like
telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone
network voltage (TNV) circuits.
Connecting to an AUI Ethernet
You must supply an Ethernet transceiver for this connection. Follow these steps to connect
the router to an AUI Ethernet LAN:
Note
Some transceivers connect directly to the router AUI port. If you have this type of
transceiver, you do not need the AUI adapter cable. You can connect the transceiver to the
AUI port on the router and then go to Step 3.
Step 1 Connect the one end of the AUI adapter cable to the transceiver.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the AUI adapter cable to the AUI port on the router
(Figure 2-2).
Step 3 Connect the transceiver to the Ethernet LAN by using a BNC connector
(Figure 2-2).
