Quick Start Guide
Installing Your Cisco 1401 Router



    Unpack the Box

When you unpack the box that contains your Cisco 1401 router, you should find the items shown below.

Items You Must Provide:

You must provide the following items to completely install the router:



    Install the Router

A. Connect the router to the local network

Use the included yellow Ethernet cable for connecting the router to the local Ethernet network. For more information on this cable, refer to the "Cabling Specifications" chapter in the hardware installation guide that came with the router.


Step 1   Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the yellow ETHERNET port.

Step 2   Connect the other end to a port on the Ethernet hub or switch.




    Install the Router (continued)

B. Connect the router to the ADSL line

You must provide an ATM DSL modem (for example, a Cisco 625 or Cisco 626 CAP modem), a crossover RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable, and an RJ-11-to-RJ11 cable for this connection.


Step 1   Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to the light-green ATM 25 port on the router.

Step 2   Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to the appropriate port on the CAP modem. For the Cisco 625 and Cisco 626, this is the DATA port.

Step 3   Connect one end of the RJ-11 cable to the ADSL port on the CAP modem. For the Cisco 625 and Cisco 626, this is the LINE port.


Note Refer to the documentation that came with the modem if you are not sure which modem port connects to the router and which port connects to the ADSL line.

Step 4   Connect the other end of the RJ-11 cable to the ADSL wall jack.





    Install the Router (continued)

C. Connect a PC to the router

To use Cisco IOS software to configure the router, it must be connected to a terminal or to a PC with terminal-emulation software. Terminal emulation software should be configured with the following settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, and 1 stop bit.

Take the following steps to connect the router to one of these devices:


Step 1   Connect one end of the light-blue console cable (included) to the CONSOLE port on the router rear panel.

Step 2   Depending on the console port connector (DB-25 or DB-9) on your terminal or PC, connect one of the gray adapters (included) to the other end of the console cable.

Step 3   Connect the gray adapter to the DB-25 or DB-9 connector on your terminal or PC.





    Install the Router (continued)

D. Connect the power cord


Step 1   Connect the power-supply cord to the power socket (labeled +5,+12,-12 VDC) on the rear panel.

Step 2   Connect the other end of the cord to a power outlet.

Step 3   Turn on the router by pressing the power switch to the ON ( | ) position.

Step 4   Confirm that the router has power by checking that the PWR LED on the front panel is on.
