2.2 Unpack and Inspect Contents of the Shipping Carton

Open the shipping carton carefully and check that the contents include the items you ordered. You can identify the Cisco 626 by the product name on the bottom of the front end of the modem (the end with the LEDs).

The contents of your carton may vary depending on your equipment provider. The following graphic shows the minimum contents for all the Cisco 626 shipments. The following table shows a list of the standard 626 shipment contents.

Table 2-2: List of Standard Contents in Shipment


Contents	Description

ATM25 cable	Category 5 cable (6 ft)

Your shipment may also contain a management cable.

Note Contact Cisco or your equipment provider if any items you ordered were not delivered. Refer to "System Connectors" for information on connector pin assignments.

2.3 Hardware Requirements

The following hardware is necessary to configure management virtual connections:

A computer that has a standard terminal emulation program or a dumb terminal
Any machine with a DB9 serial port

Note If only a DB25 serial port is available on the computer, a DB9-to-DB25 adapter is also needed to connect the RJ45 cable to the computer.

2.4 Set Up the Cisco 626 Hardware Environment

Consult the following section to set up the hardware environment for your Cisco 626.

2.4.1 Connect the Management Port to the Serial Port

Perfrom the following procedure to connect the Cisco 626 for configuration of management VCs and/or passwords.

Step 1 Connect the RJ45 connector on the serial cable to the 626 management port. See Figure 2-2 for location of the management port.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the serial cable to the computer serial port. If your computer only uses a DB25 serial port, a DB9-to-DB25 adapter is needed in order to connect the RJ45 cable.

Step 3 Use a terminal access program to access the Cisco 626.

Step 4 Login to the CBOS as outlined in the "Logon to the CBOS" section on page 3-2.

Figure 2-2: Management Port Cabling

2.4.2 Configure the Serial Port

Use a terminal access program (such as Hyperterminal in Windows) to set the COM protocol to the settings listed below.

Baud rate: 38400 bps recommended (standard 9600 bps is also applicable)
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None

2.4.3 Connect All Cables to the Network Using a POTS Splitter

A POTS splitter separates data signals from voice signals on your phone line. The POTS splitter works by running a separate data line from the voice line, so that the ADSL modem has a dedicated cable for data transmission. Figure 2-3 shows phone equipment connected to a POTS splitter.

Figure 2-3: Phone Equipment Connected Through a POTS Splitter

Note The POTS splitter can also be installed on the outside of the house adjacent to the telephone network interface device (NID).

Perform the procedure below to install the Cisco 626 using a POTS splitter.

Step 1 Plug the Power Connector into the back of the unit.

Step 2 Connect the ATM25 cable into the ATM25 connector on the rear panel of the Cisco 626. Connect the other end of the ATM25 cable to your premise router; for example a Cisco 1401.

Step 3 Connect the RJ11 cable to the WALL connector on the rear panel of the 626. Connect the other end of that cable to the POTS Splitter.

The following figure illustrates how to connect all cables to the rear panel .
