Cisco uBR905 Router Hardware Installation Guide
OL-0598-01 (9/2000)
Chapter 1
Product Overview
Physical Description
•
A single F-connector interface to the cable system.
•
Four RJ-45 (10BaseT Ethernet) hub ports to connect a maximum of four computers directly to the
Ethernet hub ports at the rear of the unit (depending on the Cisco IOS release). Alternatively, one
of the four ports can connect to an Ethernet hub, which then can connect additional computers or
devices at the site. (The actual number of supported CPE devices depends on the Cisco IOS release;
see the “Bridging Operations” section on page 1-2 for details.)
•
One RJ-45 console port (optional) to connect to a laptop PC or console terminal when locally
configuring the router; the router ships from the Cisco factory with the console port enabled.
Note
The Cisco uBR905 cable access router ships from the Cisco factory with the console port
enabled. By default, downloading a Cisco IOS configuration file disables the console port
and erases all previously saved configurations. This default behavior prohibits
configuration access at the remote site.
Figure 1-3 depicts the front of the Cisco uBR905 cable access router. Figure 1-4 shows the rear of the
unit.

The Cisco uBR905 router is designed to work with commercial security products, such as
Kensington-compatible lock and cable devices, that attach to the router to prevent theft in small office
applications. The router’s rear panel contains generic lock and unlock symbols, identified as “Lock” in
Figure 1-4.
Note
Cisco does not supply these security products.
