Cisco Systems 96, 836 manual Using the Router LEDs to Check Links

Chapter 2 Installation

Perform the following steps to connect the Cisco 836 router’s ISDN port to the ISDN service provider:

Step 1 Connect one end of the orange ISDN S/T cable to the Cisco 836 router’s ISDN S/T port.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the orange ISDN S/T cable to the S/T port on the NT1 box.

Step 3 Connect the first unshielded Category 5 cable from the U port on the NT1 box to the telephone line port on the splitter.

Step 4 Connect the second unshielded Category 5 cable from the telecommunication service port on the splitter to the wall jack to allow a link to the network service provider.

Note There are RJ-45 connectors at both ends of the default orange ISDN S/T cable used in the preceding procedure. However, an RJ-45 to RJ-11 ISDN S/T cable is available upon request if the wall jack at the site requires an RJ-11 connector. Contact your router reseller for the appropriate cable.

Note The cable for connecting the NT1 box to the splitter is not included in the accessory kit. The user must provide this cable.

Using the Router LEDs to Check Links

Use the LEDs on the front of the router to check the links between the router and any attached Ethernet devices or telephone. See Table 1-2 on page 1-5to verify the link status of devices attached to the Cisco 836 and Cisco SOHO 96 routers.
