Quick Start
for
the Cisco 673 SDSL router




Introduction

The Cisco 673 is an SDSL router for home connectivity to an SDSL service provider network over an SDSL/Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) physical layer. The Cisco 673 can transmit and receive data at rates up to 1.168 Mbps. A 10/100BaseT interface is provided for connection to an Ethernet LAN or Ethernet-equipped PC.


Note The Cisco 673 can achieve rates of 1.168 Mbps up and downstream. However, the maximum operative rate is determined by the CO SDSL equipment.




Installing the Cisco 673

This sections provides information necessary to install the Cisco 673 router.

Connecting Cables

The basic procedure is:


Step 1   Plug the power connector into the back of the unit.

Step 2   Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (yellow) to the ENET port on the back of the unit and then connect the other end to the Ethernet connector in your network.

Step 3   Connect the provided telephone cable (lavender) to the Cisco 673 WALL connector and then connect the other end of the cable to the wall-mounted telephone connector.

Step 4   Plug the power supply into the wall.

The Cisco 673 powers on. Check to see that the POWER LED is on.

You have now successfully installed your Cisco 673 SDSL router.




Troubleshooting Tips

If the suggested solutions in this section do not resolve your issue, contact your Internet service provider.

    1. If the WAN LNK LED blinks and never stays on continuously, the Cisco 673 never connects to the central office equipment. Your Cisco 673 SDSL router configuration may not be compatible with the service provider's server configuration.

    Solution: Remove power from the Cisco 673 by removing the power cord from the router's rear panel. Reconnect the power cord. If your router still does not connect to the service provider, call your service provider. Your service provider can assist you to correct your configuration.

    2. If the WAN LNK LED turns off after the Cisco 673 has successfully been transferring data between your personal computer and your service provider, the Cisco 673 or the service provider's server may have a timeout set.

    Solution: Contact your service provider. Be prepared to give the ISP a precise estimate of the time you are connected before the Cisco 673 disconnects from the Internet.
