Cisco 1600 Series Router Hardware Installation Guide
Router Memory
The Cisco 1600 series routers are either of run-from-flash (RFF) or run-from-RAM (RFR)
models. Router model names with an R are RFR routers; all other models are RFF. In this
document, model names without an R refer to both RFF and RFR models, except where
noted. This section describes the two memory architectures used in the Cisco 1600 series
routers.
Run-From-Flash Architecture
With RFF, the microprocessor uses the uncompressed Cisco IOS software image that is
stored in Flash memory.The softwareimage runsdirectly fromFlash memory. RAM stores
working data such as Cisco IOS data structures, network routing tables, and packets to be
transmitted to and received from network interfaces.
The running software image cannot be used to download new software to Flash memory
because it would attempt to overwrite itself. (However, when you are using Dual Flash
Bank memory, you can download the new software image into a different Flash memory
partition.)
To downloada new software image without using Dual Flash Bank memory, a boot-helper
image (called XBOOT) has been added to the ROM on the RFF models. The boot-helper
image is a small subset of Cisco IOS software that supports only a subset of the interfaces
and the WAN protocols. RFF ROM supports the following WAN interfaces. (These are all
onboard interfaces, not WAN-interface-card interfaces.)
Router Memory
• Serial (synchronous and asynchronous) (Cisco 1601)
• DSU/CSU (Cisco 1602)
• ISDN S/T (Cisco 1603)
• ISDN U (Cisco 1604 and Cisco 1604 R)
When upgrading the Cisco IOS software in Flash memory, you must boot the router from
the ROM image. The Flash memory can be overwritten because the Cisco IOS software
that is stored in Flash memory is not being used to run the router.
Overview of the Router 1-7
Router Memory
Run-From-RAM Architecture
With RFR, the Cisco IOS image is stored in Flash memory (usually in compressed form),
butis loaded into RAM beforebeing usedto operate the router.The runningsoftware image
then resides in RAM, so a new software image can be downloaded and copied over the
software image stored in Flash memory.
In RFR routers, only a minimal boot-helper image is stored in the ROM for disaster
recovery. Initial loading of a software image into Flash memory is done over the console
port or the local Ethernet.
Because the Cisco IOS image is stored in compressed form in Flash memory and then
decompressed when loaded into RAM, the standard configuration for the RFR models
contains less Flash memory but more DRAM than the RFF models.
Table 1-3 is a summary comparison of these two memory architectures.
Disaster recovery
(Router fails and the image
store in Flash memory is
corrupted).
• Cisco IOS software image can be
downloaded over any interface and with
any WAN protocol supported by the
ROM boot helper.

downloaded over the console port by
using the xmodem or ymodem
commands.
• Flash PC card can upgraded by booting

surface. Be sure to read the safety information in the Regulatory Compliance and SafetyInformation for Cisco 1600 and Cisco 1700 Routers that came with your router.
Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its
power source.
Installing the Router 2-1
Connecting Power and Turning On the Router
Caution Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than
10 pounds (4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top of the router could damage the
chassis.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during
periods of lightning activity.
Connecting Power and Turning On the Router
If you turn on the router before making network connections, you can verify your
installation by checking the appropriate LEDs during the installation process.
Warning The power supply 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,10Ainternational) isused on the phase conductors
(all current-carrying conductors).

Connecting the Router to the WAN
Each Cisco 1600 series router supports a different type of WAN connection. This section
describes how to make these WAN connections:
• Cisco 1601—Serial
• Cisco 1602—Data service unit/channel service unit (DSU/CSU)
• Cisco 1603—ISDN BRI S/T
• Cisco 1604—ISDN BRI U
• Cisco 1605—Refer to theCisco WANInterface CardsHardware Installation Guide that
came with your WAN interface card.
Connecting the Cisco 1601 to the WAN
For this step, you must purchase a shielded serial transition cable from Cisco Systems. The
router end of the shielded serial transition cable has a DB-60 connector. When you order
the cable, specify the appropriate connector for your WAN interface.
Connecting the Router to the WAN
Note To ensure agency compliance with electromagnetic emissions requirements,such as
electromagnetic interference (EMI), use only a shielded serial transition cable with the
router.

Problem Solving
The key to problem solving is to isolate the problem to a specific subsystem by comparing
what the router is doing to what it should be doing.
When problem solving, consider the following subsystems of the router:
• WAN interface cards—Refer to the LEDs on the cards and the LEDs on the router front
panel to help identify a failure. For information on the front panel LEDs, refer to the
“Front Panel LEDs” section later in this appendix.
• Cables—Check all the external cables that connect the router to the network.
• Power system—Consider the external power source, power cable, router powersupply,
and circuit breaker. Check for inadequate ventilation or air circulation.
• ISDN configuration—Consider ISDN-specific hardware and software configurations
(Cisco 1603, Cisco 1604, and ISDN BRI WAN interface cards only).
Troubleshooting WAN Interface Cards and Cables
Check for the following symptoms to help isolate the problem:
• WAN interface card is not recognized by the router.
Problem Solving
— Makesure that the card is correctly installed in the router.Refer to the “Installing a
WAN Interface Card” section in the “Optional Installations” chapter.

APPENDIX
Configuring the ISDN Line
This appendix describeshow to order and configurean IntegratedServices Digital Network
(ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) line for use with a Cisco 1600 series router with an
ISDN BRI interface or a Cisco 1600 series router with an ISDN BRI WAN interface card
installed.
This appendix contains the following sections:
• ISDN BRI Line Configuration Requirements
• ISDN BRI Switch Types
• ISDN BRI Provisioning by Switch Type
• Defining ISDN Service Profile Identifiers
• ISDN Configuration Options
B
ISDN BRI Line Configuration Requirements
Before using a Cisco 1600 series router with an ISDN BRI interface or a Cisco 1600 series
router with an ISDN BRI WAN interface card installed, you must order a correctly
configured ISDN BRI line from your local telecommunications service provider.
This process varies significantly from provider to provider on a national and international
basis. However, following are some general guidelines:
• Ask for two channels to be called by one number.
• Ask for delivery of calling line identification. This is also known as Caller ID or
Automatic Number Identification (ANI).
Configuring the ISDN Line B-1
ISDN BRI Switch Types
• If the router is going to be the only device attached to the ISDN BRI line, ask for
point-to-point service and a data-only line.
• If you will be connecting another ISDN device (such as an ISDN telephone) to the
ISDN BRI line through the router, ask for point-to-multipoint service (subaddressing is
required) and a voice-and-data line.
ISDN BRI Switch Types
ISDN BRI supports a variety of service provider switches. Table B-1 lists, by geographic
areas, the ISDN switch types supported by the Cisco 1600 series routers ISDN BRI
interface.When configuring the router,use the isdn switch-type commandfollowed by the
corresponding keyword.

ISDN BRI Provisioning by Switch Type
The ISDN BRI line is configured (provisioned) for different types of services by the
ISDN BRI service provider. The person ordering the ISDN line must also order the
provisioning described in this section.
Table B-2 lists the provisioning that should be ordered for the router, based on the switch
type.

Defining ISDN Service Profile Identifiers
Defining ISDN Service Profile Identifiers
An ISDN service provider, usually a telephone company, can offer a variety of services.
Many providers use service profile identifiers (SPIDs) to identify the device that is using
the ISDN service, similar to the way that the telephone company uses a telephone number
to identify your standard telephone service. If you use a service provider that requires
SPIDs, the provider assigns your ISDN deviceone or more SPIDs when you first subscribe
to the service. Providers use different numbering schemes, but a SPID is usually a
seven-digittelephone number,plus some optional numbers. The provider also assigns your
device one or two local directory numbers (LDNs), which function as the router telephone
numbers. The LDN is the number that a remote router dials to make a call to the router.
Note SPIDs have significance only at the local-access ISDN interface. The remote router
is assigned a SPID when the ISDN BRI services are ordered for that router.
When your ISDN device accesses the switch to initialize the connection, first it must send
any assigned SPID(s) to the service provider. Otherwise, your ISDNdevice cannot place or
receivecalls. Use the isdn spid command todefine the SPIDand the LDNon the routerfor
both ISDN BRI B channels, as follows:
Router(config-if)# isdn spid1
spid-number [ldn
]
Router(config-if)# isdn spid2
Note Althoughthe LDNis usuallyoptional, it might be requiredso thatthe router answers

Snapshot Routing over ISDN
You can also configure snapshot routingfor the router ISDN interface. Snapshot routing is
a method of learning remote routes dynamically and keeping the routes available for a
specified period of time, even though routing updates are not exchangedduring that period.
See the chapter “Configuring DDR” in the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide
publication for detailed information about snapshot routing.

Hardware Specifications
Hardware Specifications
Table C-1 lists the system specifications for Cisco 1600 series routers.
The EIA/TIA-232 console port is configured as data terminal equipment (DTE) and uses
an RJ-45 connector. A console cable kit is provided with your router to connect a console
(an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port. The
console cable kit contains an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female
DTE adapter (labeled Terminal). Table C-4 lists the pinouts for the asynchronous serial
console port, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE
adapter.
C-4
Cisco 1600 Series Router Hardware Installation Guide
You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. (See
Figure C-1.) Holding the cables in your hand, side-by-side, with the tab at the back, the
wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left connector (pin 1) should be the same
color as the pin on the outside of the right connector (pin 8).On Cisco cables, pin 1 is white
on one connector, and pin 8 is white on the other connector.
1Pins 1, 2, 7, and 8 are not used.
2TE refers to terminal terminating layer 1 aspects of TE1, TA, and NT
functional groups. This applies to the Cisco 1603 and the ISDN BRI
S/T WAN interface card.
3NT refers to network terminating layer 1 aspects of NT1 and NT2
functional groups. This applies to the Cisco 1604 ISDN S/T port.

Cable Pinouts
The serial port on the router uses a universal port, a 60-pin receptacle that supports the
following serial interfaces: EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, X.21, V.35, and EIA-530. The
shielded serial transition cable determines the electrical interface type. The router end of all
of the cables is a 60-pin connector.
DTE connectors have a plug connector at the network end. (DCE connectors have a
receptacle at the network end.) However,V.35 is availablein DTE mode either a receptacle
or a plug connector at the network end. The serial port operates in DTE and DCE modes.
The tables that follow list the signal pinouts for the DTE mode serial transition cables for
each router interface type.
