Caution Always connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet ports on the router. Accidentally connecting the cable to the wrong port can damage your router.

Step 3 Connect one end of a second Ethernet cable to the 10BT ETHERNET port on the router (the port on the left). Step 4 Connect the other end to your Internet modem.

Note The 10BT ETHERNET port does not perform autosensing for full-/half-duplex operation, and the default setting is for half-duplex. To enable full-duplex mode on the 10BT ETHERNET port, you will need to use the Cisco IOS software to reconfigure the port.

5Configure the Router Using Cisco Router and Security Device Manager

Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) is a web-based configuration tool that allows you to configure LAN and WAN interfaces, routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), firewalls, VPNs, and other features on your router. If SDM is installed on your router, configure the router by following the instructions in the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) Quick Start Guide. If this document was not shipped with your router, you can obtain SDM and instructions for installing it on your router from the following location:

http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/sdm

To obtain the SDM release notes, and other SDM documentation, go to http://www.cisco.com/go/sdm and click the Technical Documentation link.
