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 inform ation 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.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER WARRANTY HEREIN, ALL DOCUMENT FILES AND SOFTWARE OF THESE SUPPLIERS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH

Overview
The Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration routers are part of the new line of integrated services routers
that are optimized for secure, fast, high-quality delivery of multiple, concurrent services for
small-to-medium-sized businesses and small enterprise branch offices. The Cisco
routers offer an 8-port 10/100Base-T switch, dual 10/100Base-T WAN ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and
either an ISDN S/T or an analog modem port. The Cisco
1801, Cisco 1802, and Cisco 1803 routers offer
an 8-port 10/100Base-T switch; a single 10/100Base-T WAN port; an ISDN S/T port; and either an
ADSL over POTS, ADSL over ISDN, or G.SHDSL WAN port. All models also offer embedded
hardware-based encryption that provides superior performance for advanced applications, optional
802.11a/b/g wireless LAN functionality, an integrated real-time clock for validating digital certificates
and stamping syslog entries, and optional Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur if
electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled, and can cause complete or intermittent failures.
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:
•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 channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To
guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
•If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.
Safety Recommendations
CautionFor the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should
be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

Site Environment
The Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration router can be placed on a desktop, installed in a rack, or
mounted on a wall or other vertical surface. The location of your router and the layout of your equipment
rack or wiring room are extremely important considerations for proper operation. Having equipment
placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and
shutdowns, and can make maintenance difficult. Plan for access to both the front panel and the back
panel of the router. When facing the router front-bezel, airflow is from left to right,

Site Configuration
The following precautions will help you plan an acceptable operating environment for your router and
will help you avoid environmentally caused equipment failures:
•Ensure adequate air circulation in the room where your router operates. Electrical equipment
generates heat. Without adequate air circulation, ambient air temperature may not cool equipment
to acceptable operating temperatures.
•To avoid damaging equipment, always follow the ESD-prevention procedures described in the
“Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” section on page 2-3. Damage from static discharge
can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
•Ensure that the chassis cover and module back panels are secure. All empty network module slots,
interface card slots, and power supply bays must have filler panels installed. The chassis is designed
to allow cooling air to flow within it through specially designed cooling slots. A chassis with
uncovered openings permits air leaks, which may interrupt and reduce the flow of air across internal
components.

Console and Auxiliary Port Considerations
The router includes an asynchronous serial console port and an auxiliary port. The console and auxiliary
ports provide access to the router either locally (using a console terminal connected to the console port)
or remotely (using a modem connected to the auxiliary port). This section provides important
information about cabling that you should consider before you connect the router to a console terminal
or a modem.
The main difference between the console port and the auxiliary port is that the auxiliary port supports
hardware flow control and the console port does not. Flow control paces the transmission of data
between a sending device and a receiving device. Flow control ensures that the receiving device can
absorb the data sent to it before the sending device sends more. When the buffers on the receiving device
are full, a message is sent to the sending device to suspend transmission until the data in the buffers has
been processed. Because the auxiliary port supports flow control, it is ideally suited for use with the
high-speed transmissions of a modem. Because console terminals send data at slower speeds than
modems, the console port is ideally suited for use with console terminals.

Console Port Connections
The router has an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable and
the adapter used, this port will appear as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the cable.
Your router is supplied with an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable for connecting to a PC that is running
terminal emulation software.
To connect the router to an ASCII terminal, use the RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable and a DB-9-to-DB-25 adapter.
The default parameters for the console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. The
console port does not support hardware flow control. For detailed information about installing a console
terminal, see the
“Connecting to a Console Terminal or Modem” section on page 4-5.
For cable and port pinouts, see the online document Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications.
This document is located on Cisco.com.
Connecting to the Console Port
If a console terminal or PC is connected to the console port, you can configure the router locally. Follow
these steps to connect a console terminal or PC that is running HyperTerminal or similar terminal
emulation software to the console port on the router:
Connecting to a Console Terminal or Modem
Step 1Use the blue RJ-45-to-DB-9 console cable to connect the router to a terminal.
NoteOn the Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration routers, the console port is color-coded blue.
Step 2Configure your terminal or terminal emulation software for 9600 baud (default), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
and no parity; set flow control to “none.”
NoteBecause hardware flow control is not supported on the console port, do not connect modems to
the console port. Connect modems only to the auxiliary port.
Auxiliary Port Connections
The router has an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial auxiliary port (RJ-45) that supports flow control.
Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port appears as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the
cable.
Your router is supplied with a DB-9-to-DB-25 adapter for connecting to a modem.

Solving Problems
The key to solving problems is to isolate each problem to a specific subsystem by comparing what the
router is doing to what it should be doing.
Observing the LED indicators on the front and back panels of the router can help you determine router
performance and operation. See the following sections:
•Reading System LEDs, page 6-4
•Reading Port and Connection LEDs, page 6-4
When solving problems, consider the following router subsystems:
OL-6425-03
Cisco 1800 Series Integrated Services Routers (Fixed) Hardware Installation Guide
6-1
Page 64
Solving Problems
•Power and cooling systems—External power source, power cable, router power supply and circuit
breaker, and router blower and fan. Also consider inadequate ventilation or air circulation.
•Cables—External cables that connect the router to the network.
Troubleshooting the Power and Cooling Systems
Both the system LED and the fans can help you troubleshoot a power problem. To attempt to isolate the
problem, check the items identified in the sections that follow.
Normal Indications
With the power switch on, the normal indications are:
•SYS OK LED on green and continuous
•Fans operating
•POE LED on green and continuous if the inline power supply is installed
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting
Fault Indications
Check the following symptoms to locate or eliminate faults in the power and cooling systems:
•With the power switch on, is the SYS OK LED on?
–
If the LED is green and continuous, the router is receiving power and is functional.
–
If the LED is off, check the power source and power cable.
•With the power switch on and the SYS OK LED on and green, do the fans operate?
–
If no, check the fans.
–
If yes, the power system is functioning.
•Does the router shut down after being on a short time?
–

CautionWhen you remove or install DIMMs, always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and ensure that it
makes good contact with your skin. Connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal part of the
chassis.
CautionHandle DIMMs by the edges only. DIMMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by
mishandling.

Step 4Firmly press the DIMM into the socket until the spring-loaded clips on the socket snap over the end of
the DIMM.
Installing the Optional Inline Power Supply
The inline power supply option for the Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration routers includes an inline
power supply card that must be installed inside the router, and an external power supply. Perform the

following steps to install the inline power supply card. See
and other components within the router.
Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if
interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals.
Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a
restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted
access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through
the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security.

inline power supply card. Failure to do so may result in damage to the inline power supply card or to the
router.
CautionWhen installing the inline power supply card, ensure that the card is installed in the proper direction.
Improper installation will result in damage to the inline power supply card. Installation of the inline
power supply card requires the installation of three metal standoffs, to which the card is then secured
using three screws. Be sure to use all three screws to ensure that the card is installed properly—if the
card is not installed in the correct direction, the three screw holes will not match up with the three metal
standoffs.
Step 1Find the metal standoff attachment locations on the system board, which are indicated by a star pattern
surrounding each of the three holes in the system board.
Step 2Install the three metal standoffs into the system board in the metal standoff attachment locations
(denoted by a star pattern around the holes). Use a 1/4-inch nut driver to tighten the standoffs.
CautionMake sure that the standoffs are straight when installed. Tighten them gently but firmly. The shoulder
of each standoff must be seated tightly against the system board.
Step 3Place the inline power supply card on top of the three metal standoffs, lining up the metal standoffs with
the screw holes in the inline power supply card.
Step 4Insert the screws provided in the accessory kit through the inline power supply card and into the metal
standoffs. Carefully tighten the screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
After you install the inline power supply card in the router, install the router cover and connect the inline
power supply to the power connector on the back of the router.
Installing the Chassis Cover
The Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration router has a cover that slides onto the chassis from the back
of the chassis. Follow these steps to install the chassis cover on a Cisco
router:
Step 1Gently slide the cover of the router onto the chassis.
Step 2Replace the cover screw that you removed when you opened the chassis. See the “Removing the Chassis
Cover” section on page 7-2.

Removing and Installing CompactFlash Cards
Removing and Installing CompactFlash Cards
This section describes how to install and replace CompactFlash cards in Cisco 1800 series
fixed-configuration routers. It contains the following sections:
•Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
•Removing a CompactFlash Memory Card
•Installing a CompactFlash Memory Card
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
CompactFlash memory cards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. ESD damage, which
can occur when electronic cards or components are handled improperly, results in complete or
intermittent failures.
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:
•Always use an ESD wrist strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
•Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
•Place a removed CompactFlash memory card on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If
the card will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
•Avoid contact between the card and your clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD
voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
•Do not remove the wrist strap until the installation is complete.
CautionFor safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).
Removing a CompactFlash Memory Card
To remove a CompactFlash memory card from the chassis, perform the following steps. See Figure 7-5.
CautionDo not remove a CompactFlash memory card from the chassis while it is being accessed. A blinking CF
LED indicates that the CompactFlash memory is being accessed. Removing the CompactFlash memory
card from the router while it is being accessed can damage your router.
Step 1Press the ejector button next to the CompactFlash memory card. The ejector button moves outward so
that it projects from the panel.
Step 2Press the ejector button again. This ejects the CompactFlash memory card partway out of its slot.
Step 3Pull the CompactFlash memory card out of its slot.
Step 4Push the ejector button in until the button is flush with the bezel.
CautionTo prevent damage to the ejector mechanism, the ejector button must remain pressed all the way in (flush
against the bezel) when it is not being used to eject a CompactFlash memory card.

Step 1Make sure that the ejector button is pressed flush with the front panel, so that it does not project beyond
the panel.
NoteIf the ejector button is projecting beyond the panel, push it in until it is flush with the bezel.
Step 2Insert the CompactFlash memory card into the slot until it is fully seated. The ejector button remains
flush with the panel.
NoteIf the ejector button is projecting from the panel after you insert the CompactFlash memory card,
remove the CompactFlash memory card, press the ejector button until it clicks, and reinsert the
CompactFlash memory card.
CautionTo prevent damage to the ejector mechanism, the ejector button must remain pressed flush against the
