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.
NoteFor 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.)

CautionAlways 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.
modem interface, WIC-1-AM card, refer to the V.90 Modem WAN Interface Cards
on the Cisco 1700 Series Routers.
For additional information and technical specifications about the 1-port ISDN
BRI (S/T interface), WIC-1B-S/T card, refer to the Cisco 3600/2600 Series ISDN
BRI Connectivity Options.

NoteThe WIC-1-AM, WIC-1B-S/T and the Ethernet switch WIC are not field
replaceable.
To connect the Cisco 1711
Security Access router or the Cisco 1712 Security
Access router to the local network, follow these steps:
Step 1Connect one end of the cable to the yellow Ethernet port (labeled
10/100 ETHERNET), as shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-4.
Connect the other end of the cable to a network port on the hub or switch.

Connecting the Router to Your Service Provider’s
Equipment
You can also connect the Cisco 1711 or Cisco 1712 Security Access router to
your service provider’s broadband (xDSL or cable) modem equipment by
following these steps:
Step 1Connect one end of the cable to the yellow Ethernet port (labeled
10/100 ETHERNET). See Figure 2-2 for an illustration of this connection.

Step 2Connect the other end of the cable to a network port on your service provider’s
broadband (xDSL or cable) modem equipment
.
Connecting Networked Devices to the Router’s
Switch Ports
The Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers support connections from
a computer with a NIC or other networked device (such as hubs or switches) to
the router’s integrated 4-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch.
Follow these steps to connect other networked devices to the router’s switch ports:
Step 1Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet Port (RJ-45) as shown in
Figure 2-3.
