Preparing to Install Your Router
Before you begin installing your router, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Order an ISDN BRI line from your telephone service provider.
Step 2 If you have a Cisco 761, Cisco 765, Cisco 771, or Cisco 775 router, do the
following:
(a)
If you are outside North America, ask your telephone service provider if
you must provide an external Network Termination 1 (NT1) and the ISDN
U cable that connects the NT1 to the ISDN wall jack. Ask for NT1 vendors
if necessary.
(b)
If you are inside North America, ask your telephone service provider for
external NT1 vendors. Provide the ISDN U cable that connects the NT1 to
the ISDN wall jack.
Step 3
Be aware of the standard Ethernet and ISDN cable distance limitations.
Step 4
Gather the Ethernet devices to be connected to the router: hub, server,
workstation, or PC.
Step 5
If you have a Cisco 761, Cisco 765, Cisco 771, or Cisco 775 router and plan to
connect a digital telephone, you must provide an NT1 with two S/T interfaces
and one U interface, a telephone cable to connect the telephone (usually this
cable is provided with the device), and an ISDN U cable that connects the NT1
to the ISDN wall jack.
Step 6
If you have a Cisco 765, Cisco 766, Cisco 775, or Cisco 776 router and plan to
connect an analog telephone, fax, or modem, gather these devices. You must also
provide the telephone cable to connect each device (usually this cable is
provided with the device).
Step 7
If you plan to configure the software using a terminal or PC connected to the
router, provide the terminal or PC.
