THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
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.

Preface
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:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227) EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55 USA: 1 800 553-2447

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.
Obtaining Technical Assistance
78-13834-02
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.

Chapter 2 Installation
Caution Do not connect a WAN cable to the card until you have completed the
installation procedure.

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:
Caution Read the instructions in the following section, “Installing the Cards,” before
you install the cards.
Step 1 Remove the installed card from the WIC1 slot.
Step 2 Reinstall the card (removed in Step 1) in the WIC0 slot.
Step 3 Install 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 1 Make 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.
Caution Power 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 2 Loosen 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.

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
Note See 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 1 Connect 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 2 Configure the terminal to operate at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
and no flow control.

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.

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.
Note SPIDs 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 spid1 spid-number [ldn]
Router(config-if)# isdn spid2 spid-number [ldn]
Note Although 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.
