Ethernet switch

A switch connects pieces of network equipment (including the

Cisco 1700 router) to create a network. You can use a 10-, 100-,

Phillips screwdriver

Although the WAN interface cards use thumbscrews, you might

need a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the WAN interface card

slot cover.

Cisco WAN interface card

In order to make a WAN connection, the Cisco 1700 router must

have a supported WAN interface card installed. The router

supports up to two cards. You can order the cards when ordering

the router, and they will be installed for you. You can order the

cards separately, after receiving the router, and install them

yourself.

RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable

T1/FT1, and 56-kbps services. You will need one cable for each

connection that requires this cable type.

Serial cable

This cable connects a serial card to serial services. You must

order this cable from Cisco. For detailed information about

serial cable types, refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Cards

Hardware Installation Guide that comes with every card.
