Perform the following steps to connect the Cisco 836 router’s ISDN port to the
ISDN service provider:
Step 1 Connect one end of the orange ISDN S/T cable to the Cisco 836 router’s ISDN
S/T port.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the orange ISDN S/T cable to the S/T port on the NT1
box.
Step 3 Connect the first unshielded Category 5 cable from the U port on the NT1 box to
the telephone line port on the splitter.
Step 4 Connect the second unshielded Category 5 cable from the telecommunication
service port on the splitter to the wall jack to allow a link to the network service
provider.
Note There are RJ-45 connectors at both ends of the default orange ISDN S/T cable
used in the preceding procedure. However, an RJ-45 to RJ-11 ISDN S/T cable is
available upon request if the wall jack at the site requires an RJ-11 connector.
Contact your router reseller for the appropriate cable.
Note The cable for connecting the NT1 box to the splitter is not included in the
accessory kit. The user must provide this cable.
Using the Router LEDs to Check Links
Use the LEDs on the front of the router to check the links between the router and
any attached Ethernet devices or telephone. See Table1-2 o n page 1-5 to verify
the link status of devices attached to the Cisco 836 and Cisco SOHO 96 routers.
