Equipment

When You Use It

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.

 

 

Straight-through

This cable connects the router to the Ethernet LAN and the

RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable

WAN interface cards to various WAN services, including ISDN,

 

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.

 

 

NT1

Some ISDN service providers require a Network Termination 1

 

device to connect an ISDN S/T port to the ISDN line.

 

 

Asynchronous modem

Connect a modem to the AUX port on the router when you want

 

to configure the router from a remote location.
