In addition, depending on the type of modules you plan to use, you might need the following equipment to connect a
port to an external network:
Cables for connection to the WAN and LAN ports (dependent on configuration).
For more information on cable specifications, see
Modular Access Router Cable Specifications
on
www.cisco.com.
Ethernet hub or PC with a network interface card for connection to an Ethernet (LAN) port.
Console terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running HyperTerminal or similar terminal emulation software) configured
for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control, and no parity.
Modem for connection to the auxiliary port for remote administrative access (optional).
Data service unit (DSU) or channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU) as appropriate for serial interfaces.
External CSU for any CT1/PRI modules without a built-in CSU.
NT1 device for ISDN BRI S/T interfaces (if not supplied by your service provider).
Caution:
Sites with ambient temperatures consistently above 25 degrees C (77 degrees F) and with potentially high
levels of dust or debris may require periodic preventative maintenance cleaning.
Unpacking the Router
Do not unpack the router until you are ready to install it. If the final installation site will not be ready for some time, keep
the chassis in its shipping container to prevent accidental damage. When you are ready to install the router, proceed with
unpacking it.
The router, accessory kit, publications, and any optional equipment you ordered may be shipped in more than one
container. When you unpack the containers, check the packing list to ensure that you received all of the items on the list.
Installing the Router in a Rack
The Cisco CGR 2010 router can only be mounted in a rack.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis by holding it by the plastic panel
on the front. Always hold the chassis by the sides of the metal body.
