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 television
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.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

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.

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.

• Nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM)—This type of memory
• Flash memory—This special kind of erasable, programmable memory
Chapter 1 Cisco 1721 Router Overview
memory for the router. DRAM is also called working storage. It contains the
dynamic configuration information. The Cisco 1721 router stores a working
copy of the Cisco IOS software, dynamic configuration information, and
routing table information in DRAM.
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.
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.

WIC Installation
This section describes how to install WICs in the router.
Installing the Cards in Correct Sequence
The Cisco 1721 router discovers interfaces on WICs 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 WICs.
If you are installing a WIC 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.
Installing WICs
78-13834-02
If you are installing a second WIC in a Cisco 1721 that has a card installed in the
WIC1 slot, follow this general procedure to prevent having to reconfigure your
router:
CautionRead the instructions in the following section, “Installing the Cards,” before
you install the cards.
Step 1Remove the installed card from the WIC1 slot.
Step 2Reinstall the card (removed in Step 1) in the WIC0 slot.
Step 3Install the new card in the WIC1 slot.
Cisco 1721 Router Hardware Installation Guide

Installing WICs
Installing the Cards
Follow these steps to install the card in a Cisco 1721 router:
Step 1Make sure that the power switch is set to the STANDBY position () and that
the power cable is not connected to the power socket on the rear panel.
CautionPower must be removed from the system prior to installing or removing WICs
to avoid damaging them. When WICs are pushed into or pulled out of a router
that is powered up, there is a very good chance that they could be damaged
electrically and will no longer function.
Step 2Loosen the thumbscrews on the WIC slot cover on the rear panel, as shown in
Figure 2-2, and then remove the slot cover. You should be able to loosen the
screws using your fingers; however, if the screws are very tight, you might need
to use a Phillips screwdriver.

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—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.
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.

Recovering a Lost Password
Recovering a Lost Password
This section describes how to recover a lost enable password and how to enter a
new enable secret password.
Password recovery consists of the following major processes:
• Determining the Configuration Register Value
With this process, you determine the configuration of the router, so that you
may restore the configuration after the password is recovered.
• Resetting the Router
With this process, you reconfigure the router to its intial startup
configuration. You then display the enable password, if one is used.
• Resetting the Password
If you are using an enable secret password, you enter a new password with
this process. You then restore the router to its prior configuration.
• Resetting the Configuration Register Value
If you are using an enable password, you use this process to restore the router
to its prior configuration.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
NoteSee the “Hot Tips” section on Cisco.com for additional information on
replacing enable secret passwords.
Determining the Configuration Register Value
Follow these steps to determine the configuration register value:
Step 1Connect an ASCII terminal or a PC running a terminal-emulation program to the
console port on the router. See the “Connecting a PC” section in Chapter 2,
“Installation.”
Step 2Configure the terminal to operate at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
and no flow control.
Step 3Reboot the router by pressing the power switch to the off ( 0 ) position and then
to the on ( | ) position.

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.
In problem solving, consider the following subsystems of the router:
• WICs—Refer to the LEDs on the cards and the LEDs on the router front panel
to help identify a failure. For more information on WICs, refer to the
Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide, which comes with
each card.
• Cables—Check all the external cables that connect the router to the network.
Problem Solving
• 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 WICs 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 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 possible
problems related to the ISDN line.
Two commands are useful for troubleshooting ISDN:
• For routers with an ISDN S/T WIC, 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 WIC, 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:

internationally. However, the 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).

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, 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 area, the ISDN switch types supported by a Cisco 1721 router
ISDN BRI interface. Use the isdn switch-type command followed by the
corresponding keyword. You must reboot the router after you enter this command
in order for the change to take effect.

ISDN BRI Provisioning by Switch Type
The ISDN BRI line is configured (or 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 D-2 lists the provisioning that should be ordered for the router, based on the
switch type.

Defining ISDN Service Profile Identifiers
78-13834-02
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.
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.
Cisco 1721 Router Hardware Installation Guide
D-5
ISDN Configuration Options
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 1721 router to dial in to a central-site
router over ISDN, refer to the Cisco 1700 Router Software Configuration Guide.
For more advanced information on configuring ISDN for Cisco 1700 routers,
refer to the chapter “Configuring ISDN” in the Dial Solutions Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your router. This
document includes information on the following topics:
• Snapshot Routing
• Dial-on-Demand Routing
Appendix D Ordering and Configuring an ISDN Line
• Bandwidth on Demand and Dial Backup
Snapshot Routing
You can configure snapshot routing for the router ISDN interface. During
snapshot routing, the router is configured to bring up the ISDN line, to
dynamically learn about remote routes, and then to take down the 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 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 for detailed information about DDR.
Bandwidth on Demand and Dial Backup
See the chapter “Configuring DDR” in the Wide-Area Networking Configuration
Guide for detailed information about bandwidth on demand and dial backup.
