Connecting Ethernet Devices
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide 3-2
To connect Ethernet devices to the router, complete the following steps:
Step 1
If you are connecting to a node, or if you are connecting a Cisco 761, Cisco 762,
Cisco 765, Cisco 771, Cisco 772, or Cisco 775 router to a hub, connect the
yellow Ethernet cable to the yellow port labeled ETHERNET on the rear panel.
If you are connecting a Cisco 766 or Cisco 776 router to a hub, connect an
Ethernet crossover cable (not supplied) to any open Ethernet port.
Step 2
Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet connector on the LAN device,
such as the Ethernet port of the NIC on the back of your computer.
(See Figure 3-1.)
Step 3 Set the HUB/NODE switch if you are connecting a Cisco 700 series router other
than a Cisco 766 or Cisco 776 router.
(a)
If your router is connected to another device, such as a NIC in a PC, set the
switch in HUB position.
(b)
If your router is connected to an Ethernet hub, set the switch in NODE
position. (Cisco 766 or Cisco 776 routers do not have a HUB/NODE
switch.)
