Cisco 828 Router and SOHO 78 Router Cabling and Setup Quick Start Guide

This document describes the basic process of cabling and configuring the Cisco 828 router and the SOHO 78 router. For advanced cabling information, refer to the Cisco 828 Router and SOHO 78 Router Hardware Installation Guide. For advanced configuration information, refer to the Cisco 828 Router and SOHO 78 Router Software Configuration Guide. These documents are available on the Cisco Documentation CD-ROM and on the World Wide Web.

You can access the most current Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at the following sites:

Parts List

The shipment of your Cisco 828 router or SOHO 78 router includes the following items:

Figure 1 shows the items included with the router. If any of the items is missing or damaged, contact your customer service representative.


Figure 1: Items Included with the Router

Verify the PC Setup

Before you begin, verify that each computer that will be connected to the router has a network interface card (NIC) installed and that Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) has been loaded and configured. For more information on how to configure TCP/IP, refer to the Cisco Router Web Setup User Guide, which is available on the Cisco 800 and SOHO Series Product Documentation CD, and refer to information available the Microsoft website.

Connecting Cables to the Router

This section describes the following tasks:

Connecting a Hub

This section describes how to connect a hub to the router Ethernet 4 port.

The TO HUB/TO PC button identifies the device that you connect to the yellow Ethernet 4 port, using the yellow Ethernet cable. For example, setting the button to the TO HUB position (in) indicates that you are connecting a hub; setting the button to the TO PC position (out) indicates that you are connecting a server, PC, or workstation. For information on how the settings of this button on a hub can affect the setting of this router, refer to the Cisco 828 Router and SOHO 78 Router Hardware Installation Guide.

You can use the yellow Ethernet cable to connect a server, PC, or workstation to any of the four Ethernet ports. However, if you want to connect a hub to a port other than the ETHERNET 4 port, you must use a crossover cable, which is not included with the router.

To connect a hub to the router, follow the steps in Figure 2.


Figure 2: Connecting a Hub



Note   To connect a hub to an Ethernet port other than the ETHERNET 4 port, you must use a crossover cable, which is not included with your router.

Connecting a Server, PC, or Workstation

To connect a server, PC, or workstation to the router, follow the steps in Figure 3.


Figure 3: Connecting a Server, PC, or Workstation



Note   If you are using Ethernet port 1, 2, or 3, you do not need to use the TO HUB/TO PC button.

Connecting the xDSL Cable

Figure 4 shows how to connect the xDSL cable to a wall jack.


Warning To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.


Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.


Figure 4: Connecting the xDSL Cable to a Wall Jack


Connecting a Terminal or PC

You can connect either a terminal or a PC to the router. Use the terminal or PC to configure the software, using the command-line interface (CLI), or to troubleshoot problems that arise. To connect a terminal or PC, follow the steps in Figure 5.


Figure 5: Connecting a Terminal or PC


Connecting the Power Supply

To connect the power supply, follow the steps in Figure 6.


Warning The device is designed to work with TN power systems.


Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 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.

Set Up the Router to Access the Network

The Cisco Router Web Setup (CRWS) software is already loaded on the Cisco 828 router or SOHO 78 router. You can use CRWS to configure the Cisco 828 router and the SOHO 78 router. If you purchased your router through an Internet service provider (ISP), it is possible that your router has been configured for use at your site. If you know this is not the case, or if you have purchased Cisco IOS software for the router since installing it, we recommend that you use CRWS to configure the router.


Step 1   Log on to one of the PCs connected to the router through Ethernet port 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Step 2   Open a web browser.

Step 3   Type in the following universal resource locator (URL):

http://10.10.10.1

Step 4   Click the Router Setup link in the Cisco Router Web Setup home page, and follow the instructions that appear in the page that is displayed.

Step 5   If the web page does not appear when you enter the URL http://10.10.10.1 , test the connection between the PC and the router by doing the following:
