Installing the Cisco 1005 2-13
Connecting to the Network and Powering Up the Router
Connecting the Network Interface Cables
The 10BaseT Ethernet port supports unshielded twisted-pair cabling. You must supply the
cable that connects to the 10BaseT Ethernet port. To connect your Cisco 1005 router to a
hub, you need a straight-through cable (see Table A-2 in the appendix “Cable Pinouts”). To
connect to a PC Ethernet network interface card, you need a crossover cable (see Table A-3
in the appendix “Cable Pinouts”).
For synchronous communication, the serial port supports the following standard interfaces:
EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, V.35, X.21, and EIA-530. For asynchronous communication,
the serial port supports the EIA/TIA-232 standard interface.
You can order from Cisco Systems a DB-60 shielded serial transition cable. The router end
of the shielded serial transition cable has a DB-60 connector; the other end of the cable has
the appropriate connector for the standard interface you specify. (For cable pinouts, refer to
the appendix “Cable Pinouts.”) To ensure agency compliance with electromagnetic
interference (EMI) emissions requirements, use only a shielded serial transition cable with
your Cisco 1005 router.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity. (To see translated versions of this warning, see the appendix “Translated
Safety Warnings.”)
