Configuring an ADSL WAN Interface Card on
Cisco 1700 Series Routers
This document describes asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) one-port wide area network (WAN)
interface cards (WICs). These cards provide ADSL high-speed digital data transfer between a single
customer premises equipment (CPE) subscriber and a central office.
ADSL WICs are available in three variations: ADSL over POTS (WIC-1ADSL), ADSL over POTS with
Dying Gasp support (WIC-1ADSL-DG), and ADSL over ISDN with DyingGasp support
(WIC-1ADSL-I-DG). The ADSL over POTS WICs are commonly used to provide ADSL services over
ordinary telephone lines. The ADSL over ISDN WIC is used to provide ADSL services in those areas of
the world which have extensive ISDN backbones already in place.

Connecting an ADSL WIC to the Network
Warning
Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch,
line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is OFF and the power
cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power
supply when the power cord is connected.
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
• Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical
accident occurs, you can quickly turn off the power.
• Before working on the router, turn off power to the router, and unplug the power cord.
• Disconnect all power before doing the following:
–
Installing or removing a router chassis
–
Working near power supplies
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
• Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
• Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
• Turn off power to the router.
• If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the victim,
and then call for help.
• Determine whether the victim needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take
appropriate action.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It can occur when
printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always
follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the router chassis is
electrically connected to earth/ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good
skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted
ESD voltages to ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must be used
properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1
and 10 megohms (Mohms).
Connecting an ADSL WIC to the Network
For this connection, use a standard lavender RJ-11 cable.

Configuring the ADSL Interface
Note If you are connecting a Cisco 1700 series router with an ADSL WIC to an RJ-11 wall jack that has
the ADSL pair wired for pins 2 and 5, you must use the lavender crossover cable with the blue stripe.
The crossover cable is orderable as a spare.
The following steps tell how to connect the card, using the standard lavender RJ-11 cable; the steps also
apply to the lavender crossover cable with the blue stripe.
Step 1 Confirm that router power is still turned off.
Step 2 Connect one end of the cable (RJ-11) to the ADSL port on the card.
Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to the wall jack (RJ-11) at your site, as shown in Figure 6.

The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
Step 5 To connect the card to the network, you must configure the ADSL card in the router to the no shutdown
state. Enter the no shut command in the router configuration. Verify that the CD LED comes on,
indicating that the card is connected to the network.
Configuring the ADSL Interface
Whenever you install a new WIC, or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you
must configure the interface. If you replace a card that was already configured, the router recognizes it
and brings up the interface in the existing configuration.
Before you configure an interface, have the following information available:
• Protocols you plan to route on the new interface
41200
• IP addresses, subnet masks, network numbers, zones, virtual path identifier/virtual channel
identifier (VPI/VCI) number(s), or other information related to the routing protocol

Configuring the ADSL Interface
Timesaver Obtain this information from your system administrator or network plan before you begin router
configuration.
You can configure the new interface and other router parameters by using any of the following methods:
• Configuration Mode (manual configuration)—recommended if you are familiar with IOS
commands. Enter the commands at the prompt.
• AutoInstall (automatic installation)—recommended if another router running IOS software is
installed on the network. This configuration method must be coordinated in advance by someone
with experience using IOS software, such as the network administrator.
• System Configuration Dialog (Setup facility)—recommended if you are not familiar with IOS
commands. You are prompted for each response.
These procedures are explained in the following sections. To change the settings shown in the examples,
and for further information, refer to the IOS configuration guides and command references. If you have
questions or need help, see the section “Obtaining Technical Assistance” later in this document.
Default Commands
The IOS software provides the following default configurations for ADSL-specific parameters.
The following default command sets the ADSL operating mode:
dsl operating-mode auto
The following command sets the ATM virtual circuit-per-virtual path (vc-per-vp) configuration for the
router:
atm vc-per-vp 256
Defaults for WIC-1ADSL-I-DG
For the WIC-1ADSL-I-DG, the default command operating-mode auto sets the carrier tone range from
33 to 56 to meet the requirements of the Deutsche Telekom U-R2 specification.
Alternately, to set the carrier tone range from 29 to 48, use the command
dsl operating-mode auto tone low
This command, dsl operating-mode auto tone low, is not available on the WIC-1ADSL or
WIC-1ADSL-DG.
Configuration Mode
You can configure the interfaces on your ADSL WIC manually by entering IOS commands on the
command line. This method, called configuration mode, provides the greatest power and flexibility.
For further information about these commands, refer to the IOS configuration guides and command
references.

OL-3317-03
Configuring the ADSL Interface
Before you begin, disconnect all WAN cables from the router to keep it from running the AutoInstall
process. The router tries to run AutoInstall whenever you power it on if there is a WAN connection on
both ends and the router does not have a valid configuration file stored in NVRAM (for instance, when
you add a new interface). It can take several minutes for the router to determine that AutoInstall is not
connected to a remote Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) host.
To enter configuration mode, follow this procedure:
Step 1 Connect a console to the router. If you need instructions for connecting a console, refer to the
installation chapter of your router installation and configuration guide. Power up the router.
Step 2 If the current configuration is no longer valid, after about one minute you see the following prompt:
Would you like to enter the initial dialog? [yes]:
Enter no. You now enter the normal operating mode of the router.
Note If the current configuration is valid, you enter the normal operating mode automatically.
Step 3 After a few seconds, you see the user EXEC prompt. Type enable and the password to enter enable
mode:
Router> enable
Password:
Configuration changes can be made only in enable mode. The prompt changes to the privileged EXEC
(enable) prompt (
Router#
Step 4 Enter the config terminal command to enter configuration mode:
Router# config terminal
Router(config)#
Router#):
The router enters global configuration mode, indicated by the Router(config)# prompt.
Step 5 If you have not configured the router before or want to change the configuration, you can configure
global parameters, passwords, network management, and routing protocols. In this example, IP routing,
AppleTalk routing, and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) routing are all enabled:
Router(config)# ip routing
Router(config)# appletalk routing
Router(config)# ipx routing
For complete information about global configuration commands, refer to the IOS configuration guides
and command references.
Step 6 Select the ADSL interface to configure:
Router(config)# interface atm 0
Router(config-if)#
The prompt changes again to show that you are in interface configuration mode.
Note For the Cisco 1751 and 1760 routers, enter the command as interface atm slot/port. For
example, interface atm 0/0.
Step 7 Select the ADSL operating mode:

Router (config-if) dsl operating-mode mode
Caution This command is for testing or lab environments only. Using a mode other auto for the DSL operating
mode can lead to unpredictable behavior on the ADSL line.
Step 8 Configure routing protocols on the interface. (You must have previously enabled these protocols as part
of global configuration.) In this example, IP, AppleTalk, and IPX are being configured on the ADSL
interface:
Router(config-if)# ip address 1.10.16.16 255.255.0.0
Router(config-if)# appletalk static cable-range 5-5
Router(config-if)# appletalk zone ZZ
Router(config-if)# ipx network B004
Step 9 Configure a PVC on the interface. (You must have the VPI/VCI number from the service provider
before you configure this.)
Router (config-if)# pvc 0/33
Router (config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 1.10.16.16 broadcast
Router (config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rt 160 160 1
Router (config-if-atm-vc)# encapsulation aal5snap
Step 10 To configure another interface, enter the exit command to return to the Router(config)# prompt.
Step 11 When you finish configuring interfaces, exit configuration mode. Return to the enable prompt by

Building configuration. . .
[OK]
Router#
The router is now configured to boot in the new configuration.
The AutoInstall process is designed to configure the router automatically after it connects to your WAN.
For AutoInstall to work properly, a TCP/IP host on your network must be configured to provide the
configuration files. The TCP/IP host can reside anywhere on the network if the following two conditions
are met:
• The host must be on the remote side of the router’s synchronous serial connection to the WAN.
• User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts to and from the router and the TCP/IP host must be
enabled.

OL-3317-03
Configuring the ADSL Interface
This functionality is coordinated by your system administrator at the TCP/IP host site. You should not
try to use AutoInstall unless the required files are installed on the TCP/IP host.
Follow this procedure to prepare your router for the AutoInstall process:
Step 1 Connect the router to the WAN.
Step 2 Turn on power to the router.
The router loads the operating system image from Flash memory. If the remote end of the WAN
connection is connected and properly configured, the AutoInstall process begins.
Step 3 If AutoInstall succeeds, you should write the configuration data to the router’s NVRAM. To do this,
enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Building configuration. . .
[OK]
Router#
Note This step saves the configuration settings that the AutoInstall process created. If you do not
do this, your new configuration will be lost the next time you boot the router.
Router# prompt:
System Configuration Dialog
You can configure the router manually, using the System Configuration dialog (also called the Setup
facility). Unlike configuration mode, the System Configuration dialog prompts you for each response.
Before you begin, disconnect all WAN cables from the router to keep it from trying to run the AutoInstall
process. The router tries to run AutoInstall whenever you power it on if there is a WAN connection on
both ends and the router does not have a configuration file stored in NVRAM. It can take several minutes
for the router to determine that AutoInstall is not connected to a remote TCP/IP host.
This section shows a sample configuration using the System Configuration dialog. You should enter
values appropriate for your router and network. To change the settings shown in the examples, and for
further information, refer to the IOS configuration guides and command references.
Many prompts in the System Configuration dialog include default answers, shown in square brackets
following the question. Enter your response, or press Return to accept the default answer.
You can request help at any time by entering a question mark (?) at the System Configuration dialog
prompt.
Follow this procedure to configure the router, using the System Configuration dialog:
Step 1 Connect a console to the router. If you need instructions for connecting a console, refer to your router
installation and configuration guide. Power up the router.
Step 2 If the current configuration is no longer valid, after about one minute you see the following prompt:
Would you like to enter the initial dialog? [yes]:
Press Return or enter yes to enter the System Configuration dialog.
