Installing the Cisco 805 Router 2-17
Verifying Installation

Verifying Installation

Verify the power, Ethernet, and serial connections by checking the LEDs. Table2-3

describes the normal pattern for each LED and what to do if you get an abnormal pattern.

Where to Go Next

You have completed the hardware installation and are ready to configure the software.

Cisco strongly recommends that you use the Cisco 805 Fast Step software. Use the

Cisco 805 Fast Step CD-ROM that ships with the Cisco 805 router and Cisco 805 Fast Step

online help. If you decide to use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure the

software, refer to the Cisco 805 Router Software Configuration Guide.
