Step 3 If you plan to configure the software using a terminal or PC connected to the
router, provide the terminal or PC.
Note Unless otherwise specified, a lavender straight-through RJ-11to RJ-11 cable is
provided as the ADSL cable. The user can select one of two other cables
instead—a crossover RJ-11 to RJ-11 ADSL cable or a straight-through RJ-11 to
RJ- 45 ADSL cable. Each router is supplied with only one ADSL cable, which the
user selected during the ordering process.
Note The optional orange ISDN S/T cable used for connecting a Cisco 836 router’s
ISDN port to the ISDN service provider is for dial backup and remote
management. The Cisco SOHO 96 router needs this cable for remote
management. The user may order this optional cable additionally.
Note There are six different power cords. Each was designed to meet the specifications
of the cable wall jack for a particular country. Each of the six power cords is
different from the others. The default cord shown in Figure 2-1 is European Union
standard specification.
Preventing Damage to the RouterFollow these guidelines when connecting devices to your router:
•Connect the color-coded cables supplied by Cisco Systems to the color-coded
ports on the back panel.
•If you must supply your own cables, see Appendix A, “Specifications and
Cables,” for cable specifications. If this appendix does not provide
specifications for a particular cable, we strongly recommend that you order
the cable from Cisco Systems.
•If the symbol of suitability ( ) appears above a port, you can connect the port
directly to a public network that follows the European Union standards.
