Chapter2 Installation
Installing the Router
Perform the following steps to connect the PC to Ethernet port 4 (or to port 1, 2,
or 3) on the router:
Step 1 Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to Ethernet port 4 on the router.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the NIC
of the PC, server or workstation.
Note Leave the PCs that you connect to the router turned off until after you complete
the router installation.
You can connect additional PCs to Ethernet ports 1, 2, and 3.
To verify the connection, check that the Ethernet 1 LED on the front panel is on
after you complete the router installation.
Connecting an ADSL Line
The procedure for connecting an ADSL line depends on the router and, in some
cases, on the location. Figure 2-2 shows how to connect the ADSL line to a cable
wall jack. Follow the steps given after Figure2-2 to connect the ADSL line to a
cable wall jack. (Figure 2-2 depicts a Cisco 836 router, but it also applies to the
Cisco SOHO 96 router. The connection steps apply to both the Cisco836 router
and the Cisco SOHO 96 router.)
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
