Installing the Router
Perform the following steps to connect the ADSL line to a cable wall jack:
Step 1 Connect the RJ-11 end of the ADSL over ISDN cable to the ADSLoISDN port on
the router.
Step 2 Connect the other RJ-11 end of the ADSL over ISDN cable to the splitter’s local
ADSL connector port.
Step 3 Connect the unshielded Category 5 cable from the splitter’s outside ADSL port to
a wall jack.
Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Router’s Console Port (Optional) You can connect either a terminal or a PC to the router’s console port. You can use
the terminal or PC for configuring the software via the CLI or for troubleshooting.
To connect a terminal or PC, follow the steps given after Figure2-3. (Figure 2-3
shows a Cisco 836 router, but it also applies to the Cisco SOHO 96 router. The
connection procedure applies to both the Cisco 836 router and the Cisco SOHO96
router.)
Note Unless you are an experienced network administrator, it is recommended that you
use the Cisco Router Web Setup software to configure the router. Use of this
software is described in the “Using Cisco Router Web Setup to Configure the
Router” section on page 2-47.
