C H A P T E R 2 Installation This chapter provides procedures for installing the Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers and includes the following sections: • Before Installing the Router • Connecting the Router to Your Local Network • Connecting the Router to Your Service Provider’s Equipment • Connecting Networked Devices to the Router’s Switch Ports • Connecting Power to the Router • Verifying Your Installation • Optional Installation Steps Before Installing the Router The Cisc
Chapter 2 Installation Connecting the Router to Your Local Network Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source. Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Caution Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top of the router could damage the chassis.
Chapter 2 Installation Connecting the Router to Your Local Network The Cisco 1711 Security Access router is a fixed configuration router that includes a 1-port analog modem card (WIC-1-AM) that is installed in the WAN interface card (WIC) slot 1. The Cisco 1712 Security Access router is a fixed configuration router that includes a 1-port Integrated Services Digital Network Basic Rate Interface (ISDN-BRI) S/T interface card (WIC-1B-S/T) that is installed in WIC slot 1.

Chapter 2 Installation Connecting the Router to Your Service Provider’s Equipment Connecting the Router to Your Service Provider’s Equipment You can also connect the Cisco 1711 or Cisco 1712 Security Access router to your service provider’s broadband (xDSL or cable) modem equipment by following these steps: Connect one end of the cable to the yellow Ethernet port (labeled 10/100 ETHERNET). See Figure 2-2 for an illustration of this connection.
Chapter 2 Installation Connecting Networked Devices to the Router’s Switch Ports Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to a network port on your service provider’s broadband (xDSL or cable) modem equipment. Connecting Networked Devices to the Router’s Switch Ports The Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers support connections from a computer with a NIC or other networked device (such as hubs or switches) to the router’s integrated 4-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch.
Chapter 2 Installation Connecting Power to the Router Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to a port on the hub, switch, or the Ethernet port on your computer. Note Note Caution The example provided in Figure 2-3 on page 2-6 shows connectivity to a hub. The router’s Ethernet switch port can be connected to other networked devices, such as a switch or computer with a NIC. If you are connecting the router’s switch port to another switch, use a crossover cable.
Chapter 2 Installation Connecting Power to the Router Warning This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120VAC, 15AU.S. (240VAC, 16A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors). Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal use.

Chapter 2 Installation 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). • WIC0/WIC1 OK (back panel)—On when a WIC is correctly installed in the corresponding WIC slot.
Chapter 2 Installation Optional Installation Steps Connecting a PC to the Router’s Console Port If you want to configure the router by using the Cisco IOS command-line interface, you must connect the router console port to a terminal or PC. The cable and adapter required for this connection are included with the router. To configure the router by using a PC, the PC must have some type of terminal emulation software installed.

Chapter 2 Installation Optional Installation Steps An external modem is not required for use on the Cisco 1711 Security Access router WIC-1-AM card. Note Follow these steps to connect a modem to the router, using the console cable: Connect the RJ-45 end of the cable to the black AUX port on the back of the router, as shown in Figure 2-6.
Chapter 2 Installation Optional Installation Steps Step 2 Connect the DB-9 end of the cable to the DB-9 end of the DB-9-to-DB-25 adapter. Step 3 Connect the DB-25 end of the adapter to the modem. Wall-Mounting The Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers can be wall-mounted using two number six, 3/4-inch screws and the molded mounting brackets on the bottom of the hub, as shown in Figure 2-7. You must provide the screws. We recommend using pan-head or round-head screws.
Chapter 2 Installation Optional Installation Steps Step 2 Caution Hang the router on the screws with either the left side or right side mounting brackets so that • The LEDs are visible to the user—Because the LEDs indicate the router operating status, they need to be easily visible. • The power supply does not hang from its cable—If the power supply is not supported, it might disconnect from the cable that connects it to the router.
