Preparing for Installation
Before installing the router and connecting devices to it, follow these steps:
Step 1
Obtain a broadband or Ethernet connection from your service provider.
Step 2
Remove the cables and product documentation from the plastic bag. Remove the router power adapter
and the black power cord from the accessory kit.
Step 3
If you ordered a wireless router, remove the antenna from the box.
Step 4
Gather the Ethernet devices to be connected to the router: servers, workstations, or PCs. Make sure that
there is a network interface card (NIC) in each device for connecting to the Ethernet ports.
Step 5
If you plan to configure the software by using Cisco IOS commands and the console port, provide an
ASCII terminal or a PC that is running terminal emulation software to connect to the console port.
Step 6
If you plan to connect a modem, provide the modem and modem cable.
Step 7
If you plan to use the cable-lock feature, provide a Kensington or equivalent locking cable.
Step 8
Read the safety warnings (see the
“Safety Warnings and Guidelines” section on page 2-1
) and
information about preventing damage to the router (see the
“Preventing Damage to the Router” section
on page 2-3
