Connection Procedures and Precautions
Follow these steps to connect your router to the network:
Step 1
Confirm that the router is powered off.
Step 2
Connect each WAN or LAN cable to the appropriate connector on the chassis. For locations of the
chassis WAN and LAN ports, see the
“Chassis Views” section on page 1-7
.
•
Position the cables carefully, so that they do not put strain on the connectors.
•
Bundle the cables so that they do not intertwine.
•
Inspect the cables to make sure that the routing and bend radiuses are satisfactory. Reposition
cables, if necessary.
•
Install cable ties in accordance with site requirements.
Step 3
Connect the other end of each WAN or LAN cable to the appropriate network device. See
Table 4-2
for
information about which network devices to connect each cable to.
Note
For cable pinouts, see the
Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications
document.
Connecting to a Console Terminal or Modem
Your router has asynchronous serial console and auxiliary ports for system management. These ports
provide administrative access to your router either locally (with a console terminal or PC) or remotely
(with a modem).
Cisco Systems provides the following cables for connecting your router to a console terminal, PC, or
