This chapter provides procedures for installing the Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712
Security Access routers and includes the following sections:
• Before Installing the Router
• Connecting the Router to Your Local Network
• Connecting the Router to Your Service Provider’s Equipment
• Connecting Networked Devices to the Router’s Switch Ports
• Connecting Power to the Router
• Verifying Your Installation
• Optional Installation Steps
Before Installing the Router
The Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers are shipped ready for
desktop mounting. Before making the power and network connections, simply set
the router on a desktop, shelf, or other flat surface.
Note For instructions on wall-mounting the router, see the “Wall-Mounting” section on
page 2-14.
Be sure to read the safety information in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety
Information for Cisco 1700 Routers document that came with your router.

Caution Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds
Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power
source.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
(4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top of the router could damage the chassis.
Connecting the Router to Your Local Network
The Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers are connected to your
local Ethernet network through the yellow 10/100 Ethernet port. You must
provide the following items for this connection:
• A straight-through, RJ-45-to-RJ-45, Ethernet cable
• A 10/100-Mbps Ethernet hub or switch
Warning
The ports labeled 10/100 ETHERNET and CONSOLE are safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits.
Because BRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid
connecting the SELV circuits to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.
(To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance
and Safety Information for Cisco 1700 Routers document that came with the
router.)
2-2
Caution Always connect the Ethernet cable to the yellow ports on the router. Do not
connect the cable to an ISDN S/T or U port (on a WIC) or to an NT-1 that is
connected to a WIC. Accidentally connecting the cable to the wrong port can
damage your router.

Connecting the Router to Your Local Network
The Cisco 1711 Security Access router is a fixed configuration router that
includes a 1-port analog modem card (WIC-1-AM) that is installed in the WAN
interface card (WIC) slot 1.
The Cisco 1712 Security Access router is a fixed configuration router that
includes a 1-port Integrated Services Digital Network Basic Rate Interface
(ISDN-BRI) S/T interface card (WIC-1B-S/T) that is installed in WIC slot 1.
Both the Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers also include an
integrated 4-port 10/100-Mbps Ethernet switch in WIC slot 0, which is supported
only on secure Cisco IOS images.

port on your computer.
Note The example provided in Figure 2-3 on page 2-6 shows connectivity to
a hub. The router’s Ethernet switch port can be connected to other
networked devices, such as a switch or computer with a NIC. If you are
connecting the router’s switch port to another switch, use a crossover
cable.
30 seconds for connectivity to be established due to the Spanning-Tree Protocol
(STP) disabling the ports until a loop-free topology is determined. When you use
this type of connection, you must configure the spanning-tree portfast command
on the router’s switch port. The spanning-tree portfast command causes a
spanning tree port to enter the forwarding state immediately, bypassing the
listening and learning states.
Caution You can use the portfast feature on switch ports that are connected to a single
workstation or PC only to allow those devices to connect to the network
immediately, rather than waiting for spanning tree to converge. Do not use the
portfast feature on ports that are connected to networking devices such as hubs,
routers, switches, bridges, or concentrators.
Connecting Power to the Router
Read the following warnings before connecting the router to power.
Warning

Connecting Power to the Router
Chapter 2 Installation
Warning
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent)
protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120VAC, 15AU.S.
(240VAC, 16A international) is used on the phase conductors (all
current-carrying conductors).
Warning
This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to
earth ground during normal use.
Follow these steps to connect power to the router and to turn the router on:
Step 1 Connect the attached power-supply cord to the power socket (labeled +5, +12,
-12 VDC) on the router rear panel, as shown in Figure 2-4 on page 2-9.

Verifying Your Installation
Verifying Your Installation
You can verify that you have correctly installed the router by checking the
following LEDs:
• PWR (front panel)—On when power is being supplied to the router.
• OK (front panel)—On when the router software is loaded and functional.
Blinking means that the router is performing a power-on self-test (POST).
• WIC0/WIC1 OK (back panel)—On when a WIC is correctly installed in the
corresponding WIC slot.
• ETH ACT (front panel)—Blinking when there is network traffic on the local
10/100 Ethernet LAN.
• WIC0ACT or WIC1 ACT (front panel)—See Tab le 1-3.
• LINK (back panel)—On when the router is correctly connected to the local
Ethernet LAN through the 10/100 ETHERNET port.
• MOD OK (back panel)—On when the VPN hardware encryption module is
installed and recognized by IOS.
Chapter 2 Installation
Optional Installation Steps
This section describes some installation steps that you might or might not use,
depending on your site and on how you are configuring the router. This section
describes the following procedures:
• Connecting a PC to the Router’s Console Port
• Connecting a Modem on the AUX Port
• Wall-Mounting
• Stacking the Router
• Unstacking the Router

Chapter 2 Installation
Connecting a PC to the Router’s Console Port
If you want to configure the router by using the Cisco IOS command-line
interface, you must connect the router console port to a terminal or PC. The cable
and adapter required for this connection are included with the router.
To configure the router by using a PC, the PC must have some type of terminal
emulation software installed. The software should be configured with the
following parameters:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity bits
• 1 stop bit
Note Refer to the Cisco 1700 Router Software Configuration Guide for detailed
information about configuring the router using Cisco IOS software.
To connect the Cisco 1711 or Cisco 1712 Security Access router to a terminal or
PC, follow these steps:

Wall-Mounting
The Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers can be wall-mounted
using two number six, 3/4-inch screws and the molded mounting brackets on the
bottom of the hub, as shown in Figure 2-7. You must provide the screws. We
recommend using pan-head or round-head screws.

To mount the router on a wall or other surface:
Step 1 Install the two screws 3.75 inches (9.52 centimeters) horizontally apart on a wall
or other vertical surface.
The screws should protrude 0.25 inch (0.64 centimeter) from the surface of the
wall.
Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access Routers Hardware Installation Guide
OL-4050-02
Chapter 2 Installation
Step 2 Hang the router on the screws with either the left side or right side mounting
brackets so that
• The LEDs are visible to the user—Because the LEDs indicate the router
operating status, they need to 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.
Caution If 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.
Stacking the Router
You can stack one Cisco 1711 Security Access router and/or one Cisco 1712
Security Access router in a four-device stack, along with other Cisco products
designed to be stacked with the router. You can stack each device directly on top
of another device.
Optional Installation Steps
OL-4050-02
Note The Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers are not shipped with the
stacking equipment described in this section; however, the equipment is included
with all other Cisco products that are designed to be stacked.
Each Cisco product designed to be stacked with the router comes with a stacking
clip and a fastener for keeping the multiple devices together in a stack. Before you
stack the devices, assemble the clip and fastener as shown in Figure 2-8 on
page 2-16.
