Chapter 2 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 2-2shows how to connect the ADSL line to a cable wall jack. Follow the steps given after Figure 2-2to connect the ADSL line to a cable wall jack. (Figure 2-2depicts a Cisco 836 router, but it also applies to the Cisco SOHO 96 router. The connection steps apply to both the Cisco 836 router and the Cisco SOHO 96 router.)

Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
