Verifying Your Installation

Verifying Your Installation

You can verify that you have correctly installed the router by checking the following LEDs:

PWR (front panel)—On when power is being supplied to the router.

OK (front panel)—On when the router software is loaded and functional. Blinking means that the router is performing a power-on self-test (POST).

ETH ACT (front panel)—Blinking when there is network traffic on the local Ethernet LAN.

SLOTØ, SLOT1, and SLOT2 (front panel)—Activity on PORTØ and PORT1 of each of these slots varies, depending on the type of WIC or VIC installed. Refer to Table 4 in the “Cisco 1750 Router Overview” chapter for detailed information on activity at different ports.

SLOT 0 and SLOT 1 OK (rear panel)—On when a WIC or VIC is correctly installed in the slot.

SLOT 2 OK (rear panel)—On when a VIC is correctly installed in the slot.

LINK (rear panel)—On when the router is correctly connected to the local Ethernet LAN through the 10/100-Mbps Ethernet port.
