•Straight-through or crossover cables to connect WICs to the appropriate WAN services (the integrated switch ports operate in auto-detect mode)

•Ethernet hub or switch to connect the router to the local network, or an xDSL or cable modem to connect the router to the service provider

•Server or other computer with a network interface card (NIC) or other networked device (such as a hub or a switch) to connect to the integrated 4-port 10/100-Mbps Ethernet switch

•(Cisco 1712 only) External Network Termination (NT-1), if needed, to connect the WIC to WAN services. (Some ISDN service providers require an external NT-1 device to connect an ISDN S/T port to the ISDN line.)
