The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency
energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and tel evision reception. This equipment
has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These
specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or
Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference
to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment
or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of
the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio
are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your
service request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request
Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the
Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your
production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are
assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business
operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts
Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has
established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your
business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around
the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or
significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by
inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time
resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Cisco 1700 Router Hardware Installation Guide
xviii
78-5405-03
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most
business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources
during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product
capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your
business operations.

Router Memory
This section describes the types of memory stored in the router and how to find
out how much of each type of memory is stored in the router.
For instruction on how to upgrade memory in the router, refer to the “Installing
and Upgrading Router Memory” appendix later in this guide.
Types of Memory
The Cisco 1700 router has the following types of memory:
• Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM)—This is the main storage
memory for the router. DRAM is also called working storage and contains the
dynamic configuration information. The Cisco 1700 router stores a working
copy of Cisco IOS software, dynamic configuration information, and routing
table information in DRAM.
• Nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM)—This type of memory
contains a backup copy of your configuration. If the power is lost or the router
is turned off, this backup copy enables the router to return to operation
without reconfiguration.
• Flash memory—This special kind of erasable, programmable memory
contains a copy of the Cisco IOS software. The Flash memory structure can
store multiple copies of the Cisco IOS software. You can load a new level of
the operating system in every router in your network and then, when
convenient, upgrade the whole network to the new level. The Flash memory
on the Cisco 1700 router is stored on mini-Flash modules.

Installing a WAN Interface Card
This section describes how to install WAN interface cards in the router.
Installing the Cards in Correct Sequence
The Cisco 1700 router discovers interfaces on WAN interface cards installed in
the WIC0 slot before it discovers those installed in the WIC1 slot. This can affect
your router configuration. This section describes how to ensure that your existing
router configuration is not affected when you install WAN interface cards.
If you are installing a WAN interface card in the router for the first time, install
the card in the WIC0 slot to ensure that your software configuration will not be
affected if you install a second card at a later time.
If you are installing a second WAN interface card in a Cisco 1720 that has a card
installed in the WIC1 slot, follow this general procedure to prevent having to
reconfigure your router:

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco 1700 Router
CautionIf you install the screws in drywall, use hollow wall anchors (1/8 inch
by 5/16 inch) to secure the screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the
strain of the cables connected to the router rear-panel connectors could pull the
router from the wall.
Step 2Hang the router on the screws with either the left side or
right side mounting brackets so that:
• The LEDs are visible to the user—The LEDs
indicate the router operating status, so the LEDs
should be easily visible.
• The power supply does not hang from its cable—If
the power supply is not supported, it might
disconnect from the cable that connects it to 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 more information on WAN
interface cards, refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide that comes with each card.
• Cables—Check all the external cables that connect the router to the network.
Cisco 1700 Router Hardware Installation Guide

Step 3Press Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode:
Router(config)# Ctrl-Z
Step 4Reboot the router, and enter the recovered password.
78-5405-03
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
• Power system—Check the external power source, power cable, router power
supply, and circuit breaker. Check for inadequate ventilation or air circulation
that might cause overheating.
• ISDN configuration—Consider ISDN-specific hardware and software
configurations (ISDN BRI WAN interface cards only).
OK LED Diagnostics
Use the front-panel OK LED to determine any problems with the router. When the
router first boots up, it performs a power-on self-test (POST). If the router detects
a problem during the POST, the OK LED blinks in a different patterns (described
in Table 3-1) depending on the problem. A pattern consists of a specific number
of blinks that is repeated until the router is turned off. If the router experiences
any of these problems, contact your Cisco reseller.

Troubleshooting ISDN
Because ISDN uses many variables and supports many different configurations, it
sometimes can cause problems for the router. This section describes problems
related to the ISDN line that might occur.
Two commands are useful when troubleshooting ISDN:
• For routers with an ISDN S/T WAN interface card, enter the clear interface
command to terminate any active ISDN calls and to reset the ISDN BRI
interface. Do this for each ISDN port installed in the router:
• For routers with an ISDN U WAN interface card(s), use the clear controller
command to terminate any active ISDN calls, to reset the ISDN BRI
interface, and to reset the ISDN line between the router and the central office
switch. Do this for each ISDN port installed in the router:

Ordering and Configuring an ISDN
Line
This appendix describes how to order and configure an Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) line for use with a Cisco 1700 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
ISDN BRI Line Configuration Requirements
Before using a Cisco 1700 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 dramatically 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).
Cisco 1700 Router Hardware Installation Guide
78-5405-03
D-1
• 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, 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 D-1 lists, by
geographic areas, the ISDN switch types supported by a Cisco 1700 router
ISDN BRI interface. Use the isdn switch-type command followed by the
corresponding keyword. You must reboot the router after entering this command
for the change to take effect.

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 such a service provider, the provider assigns your ISDN device one or
more SPIDs when you first subscribe to the service. Providers use different
numbering schemes, but a SPID is usually a seven-digit telephone number, plus
some optional numbers.
The provider also assigns your device one or two local directory numbers (LDNs),
which function as the router telephone number. The LDN is the number that a
remote router dials to make a call to your router.

Appendix D Ordering and Configuring an ISDN Line
NoteSPIDs have significance only at the local-access ISDN interface. Every router that
uses ISDN must be assigned SPIDs (if used by the service provider) by the service
provider for that router.
When the router connects to the service provider’s central office ISDN switch, it
sends the SPIDs to the switch. If the router is not configured with the correct
SPIDs, it cannot place or receive calls. Use the isdn spid command to define the
SPID and the LDN on the router for both ISDN BRI B channels, as follows:
Router(config-if)# isdn spid1spid-number [ldn]
Router(config-if)# isdn spid2spid-number [ldn]
NoteAlthough the LDN is usually optional, it might be required so that the router
answers calls made to the second directory number.
ISDN Configuration Options
For information on how to configure Cisco 1700 router to dial into a central-site
router over ISDN, refer to the Cisco 1700 Router Software Configuration Guide that
came with your router.
For more advanced information on configuring ISDN for Cisco 1700 routers,
refer to the chapter “Configuring ISDN” in the Dial Solutions Configuration Guide
publication, which is on Cisco.com. This document includes information on the
following topics:
Snapshot Routing
You can also configure snapshot routing for the router ISDN interface. During
snapshot routing, the router is configured to bring up the ISDN line, dynamically
learn about remote routes, and then take down ISDN line. The router saves the
learned routes for a specified period of time, even though routing updates are not
exchanged while the ISDN line is down. See the chapter “Configuring DDR” in
the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide publication for detailed
information about snapshot routing.

Dial-on-Demand Routing
To place calls on the ISDN interface, you must configure it with dial-on-demand
routing (DDR). See the chapter “Configuring DDR” in the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide publication for detailed information about DDR.
Bandwidth on Demand and Dial Backup
See the chapter “Configuring DDR” in the Wide-Area Networking Configuration
Guide publication for detailed information about bandwidth on demand and dial
backup.
