Chapter 2 Installing the Router

Installing the Router

Ethernet Devices

Identify the Ethernet devices that you will connect to the router: hub, servers, and workstations or PCs. Ensure that each device has a network interface card (NIC) for connecting to Ethernet ports.

If you plan to configure the software using Cisco IOS commands through the console port, provide an ASCII terminal or a PC that is running terminal emulation software to connect to the console port.

If you plan to connect a modem, provide the modem and modem cable.

Installing the Router

This section describes how to install the Cisco 819 ISR. These routers can be installed on a table top or other flat horizontal surface mounted on a wall or DIN rail.

The recommended clearance when horizontally mounted is 1.5 inches on both sides for floor mount bracket clearance and 2 inches on top. Top clearance is not required but stacking heat-dissipating objects on top of the router is not allowed. I/O side clearance is needed as it is required to access the cable connections. Clearance is not required on the backside (opposite side from I/O face) unless DIN rail mounting is required. Clearance is required to attach and mount the DIN rail bracket. The same clearances apply when mounted vertically.

This section also describes how to attach external antennas to the routers and contains the following topics:
