Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco 1700 Router

Optional Installation Steps

This section describes some installation steps that you might or might not use, depending on your site and how you are configuring the router. This chapter describes the following procedures:

•Connecting a PC

•Connecting a Modem

•Wall-Mounting

Connecting a PC

If you want to configure the router using the Cisco IOS command-line interface, you must connect the router console port to a terminal or PC. The cable and adapter required for this connection are included with the router.

To configure the router with a PC, the PC must have some type of terminal emulation software installed. The software should be configured with the following parameters: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit. Refer to the Cisco 1700 Router Software Configuration Guide that came with your router for detailed information about configuring the router using Cisco IOS software.

Follow these steps to connect the router to a terminal or PC:

Step 1 Connect the blue console cable to the blue CONSOLE port on the router, as shown in Figure 2-5.

Step 2 Use the correct adapter to connect the other end of the cable to the terminal or PC. If your terminal or PC has a console port that does not fit the adapter included with the router, you must provide the correct adapter for that port.
