Chapter 3 Installing the Router

Connecting WAN, LAN, and Voice Cables

Connecting Routers to the Cisco Redundant Power System

If your router uses the Cisco Redundant Power System (RPS), refer to the Cisco RPS Hardware Installation Guide for instructions about the power connections. You can access this document at the location described in the“Obtaining Documentation” section on page xvii.

Connecting WAN, LAN, and Voice Cables

This chapter describes how to connect the WAN, LAN, and voice interface cables. It includes the following sections:

“Ports and Cabling” section on page 3-18

“LAN, WAN, and Voice Connection Procedures” section on page 3-19

Note One or two Ethernet cables are typically provided with the router. Additional cables and transceivers can be ordered from Cisco. For ordering information, refer to the Cisco Product Catalog at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_catalog_links_launch.html. For cable pinouts, refer to the Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications document available online and on the Documentation CD-ROM.

Warning Do not work on the system, or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
