Perform the following steps to connect the router to the AC adapter:
Step 1 Connect one end of the power supply cable to the router’s input jack.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the power supply cable to the desktop power adapter.
Step 3 Plug the power cord of the desktop power adapter into an electrical outlet.
Note Be sure to use the power supply that was shipped with your router. Although you
may be able to connect another Cisco power supply to your router, that power
supply may not provide all the features that are provided by the power supply that
shipped with your router.
Connecting ISDN Port to ISDN Service Provider
The Cisco 836 router is designed with the dial backup function, allowing you to
connect the ISDN S/T port to the ISDN service provider as a backup link to the
WAN port in case the ADSL service goes down. The Cisco 836 router supports
both the dial backup and remote management features; the Cisco SOHO 96 router
supports only the remote management function.
Note To make a connection to the ISDN service, you need to connect the orange ISDN
S/T cable to the ISDN port.
To connect the router’s ISDN S/T port to the ISDN service provider, follow the
steps given after Figure 2-6. This procedure applies to both the Cisco 836 router
and the Cisco SOHO 96 router.
Note The user must provide the two unshielded Category 5 cables that connect the NT1
box to the splitter and that connect the splitter to the wall jack.
