Connecting the Router to the WAN

Cisco 1600 Series Router Hardware Installation Guide

2-10

Follow these steps to connect the Cisco 1601 to the WAN:

Step 1 Connect the cable DB-60 connector to the SERIAL Ø port on the Cisco 1601.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to one of the following devices:

• Asynchronous modem that you provide if connecting to an analog telephone

line.

• Synchronous modem, DSU/CSU, or other data circuit-terminating

equipment (DCE) that you provide if connecting to a digital WAN line.

Step 3 Check the RDY LED on the rear panel. It lights when the router is correctly

connected to the modem or DSU/CSU. If the RDY LED is not on, refer to the

“Troubleshooting” appendix later in this guide.
