Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
Overview
Cisco 700 series routers connect Ethernet LANs to other networks over Integrated Services
Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) lines.
Cisco 700 series routers offer multiprotocol routing capability between WAN and LAN
ports and can function as transparent bridges.
Product Features
This section describes the major features of Cisco 700 series routers.
CiscoSecure Authentication Agent Support
The CiscoSecure Authentication Agent (available for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0)
application simplifies the use of token authentication over ISDN. There are two
authentication modes: single authentication and double authentication.
CHAPTER
1
The Cisco 700 series router operates in single authentication mode when Token
Authentication Support (TAS) is enabled. The CiscoSecure Authentication Agent is
available on the Cisco Website.
Fast Step Support
Cisco 700 series router software Release 4.0(1) and higher supports the Cisco 700 Fast
Step software. Cisco 700 Fast Step software simplifies the setup, configuration, and
monitoring of Cisco 700 series routers.
Overview 1-1
Product Features
Cisco 700 Fast Step runs on Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT
systems. It is provided with your router on the Cisco Fast Step CD-ROM. The application
is also available on Cisco Connection Online (CCO).
Always On / Dynamic ISDN (AO/DI)
The Always On/Dynamic ISDN (AO/DI) networking service provides an always-available
connection to packet-based services through the WAN. For the user, AO/DI reduces costs
by using the D channel to make low-speed data transfers. For service providers, AO/DI
removes a significant amount of data traffic from the voice network.
The D channel is an always-available, packet-oriented link between the remote office and
the central office. The customer premises equipment (CPE) can use the D channel to pass
Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Transaction Control Protocol and Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) encapsulated in X.25. The D-channel X.25 packets are handled at the
central office by the X.25 packet handler, so these packets can be routed without crossing
the circuit-switched switch fabric.
When D-channel bandwidth exceeds a defined threshold, the router places one or more
ISDN B-channel calls to increase bandwidth. When bandwidth requirements fall below a
defined threshold, the B channels are released.
A maximum of four switched virtual circuits (SVCs) can be used for AO/DI. If a D-channel
connection is not available, the router uses the first available B channel for a call. After the
D channel PPP link is established, it is not torn down. If Bandwidth Allocation Control
Protocol (BACP) is configured, Bandwidth on Demand (BOD) is negotiated by using
BACP.
Performance of the multilink protocol declines when the bandwidth of the underlying links
varies widely; therefore, the router idles the D channel when the B channels are in use.
(RFC 1990 describes how packets can be redirected using the multilink procedure.) After
the number of links drops to one and that link is idle, the router returns to normal operation.
DHCP Address Lease Time
With Cisco 700 series router software Release 4.2(2), you can specify the lease time for all
the addresses. (The previous Cisco 700 series router DHCP server implementation assigned
an IP address to the DHCP client with an infinite lease time.)
1-2
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
Enhanced AT Command Support
There are two modes of operation in the Controller PAD (TPAD) implementation that
respond to the enhanced point-of-sale system (EPOS), Verbose and Terse. In Verbose
mode, the response is in strings, such as “CONNECT,” “NO CARRIER,” “BUSY,” and so
forth. In Terse mode the response is in numbers, such as 1 (CONNECT), 3
(DISCONNECT), 7 (BUSY), and so forth. In addition, in software Release 4.3.1, a series
of TPAD commands have been implemented to support RIVA functionality.
Permanent Linkup Mode
In areas served by carriers providing flat-rate ISDN service, the lines can be permanently
connected between the router and the central office switch. This feature can work on any
switch type.
Triggered RIP
Triggered RIP enhances the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and enables efficient
dynamic routing over demand-circuit links such as ISDN. Defined in RFC 2091, Triggered
RIP avoids the bandwidth overhead by sending updates for only those routes with changed
metrics. Triggered RIP incorporates a reliable delivery mechanism to ensure consistent
topology information.
Dial-On-Demand Routing
Dial-on-demand routing (DDR) allows the router to dynamically initiate calls as traffic
demands to remote devices across ISDN BRI lines. The router also terminates ISDN
connections based on the level of the traffic demanded on the ISDN line and the dynamic
routing parameters.
Automatic Configuration From BOOTP
The automatic configuration feature allows the Cisco 700 series router to obtain a
configuration file from a remote server using Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP).
Overview 1-3
Product Features
SPID and Switch Automatic Detection
The automatic service profile identifier (SPID) and switch detection simplifies the use of
ISDN terminal equipment and makes the equipment easier to use with fewer parameters to
enter. With this feature, you only enter the local directory numbers with area code; no SPID
number or switch type is required.
The automatic detection feature only applies to ISDN switches for the USA and Canada,
usually an AT&T 5ESS Custom, DMS-100, NI-1, or NI-2 switch. The automatic detection
mechanism might not work with any other switch, such as a Siemens switch. The automatic
detection feature is only implemented in the U. S. image.
Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol and Bandwidth Allocation
Protocol
The Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP) and the Bandwidth Allocation
Protocol (BAP) define a set of rules to control dynamic bandwidth allocation to coordinate
and negotiate the actual allocation and deallocation of the second channel.
NetBIOS Name Spoofing
If spoofing is set, the router keeps a local database of up to 100 Domain Name System
(DNS) name entries and has an aging scheme to age out the unused name entries. When a
WINS client sends out a NetBIOS Name query, the router can attempt to answer the query
in place of the WINS server. If the router cannot answer, the router forwards the query
packets to the server, which provides the response to the client.
DHCP Server and Relay Agent
DHCP automates IP addressing and reduces the number of IP addresses a site might
require. Cisco 700 series routers can function as a dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP) server.
Cisco 700 series routers can also function as a DHCP relay agent, but the router cannot act
as a DHCP server and a relay agent at the same time. When configured, your router can
relay DHCP requests and responses between DHCP clients and a specified DHCP server.
1-4
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
Port Address Translation
Cisco 700 series routers support port address translation (PAT) allowing a designated
private IP network to communicate with the outside world. When configured, Cisco 700
series routers translate source addresses from an IP private network to a single, global,
unique IP address before forwarding the packets to the outside world.
IP Address Assignment Through IPCP
The router can be assigned an IP address from the remote device using Internet Protocol
Control Protocol (IPCP) address negotiation. The implementation is based on RFC 1332,
and it supports IPCP options 1 and 3. (It does not support option 2, TCP/IP Header
Compression.) IP unnumbered is also supported. IPCP address negotiation is on by default
in any profile configured for IP routing. This feature does not support address assignment
to remote devices.
Data Compression
Cisco 700 series routers support data compression using the compression algorithm
QIC-122 standard, Stacker LZS. Data compression is a software configuration option that
optimizes the ISDN line bandwidth. Packets are compressed before being sent to the ISDN
line. After they arrive at their destination, the packets are decompressed and sent to the
remote LAN.
Fee Pulse Mode
Fee Pulse Mode manages the ISDN connection based on the paid periods of time. If other
thresholds indicate a call should be dropped due to low traffic, Fee Pulse Mode maintains
the connection until the current paid period has expired. Therefore, you are not paying full
price for part of a connection period. This feature is available only for NET3 (same as
ETSI) switch types, and you must subscribe to Advice of Charge-During Active Call
(AOC-D) supplementary service.
If the feature is enabled and idle time expires, the router checks the remaining time in the
current paid period. The router maintains the connection until the end of the paid period,
minus the disconnect time required to terminate the PPP and ISDN links.
Overview 1-5
Product Features
If the idle time expires too close to the end of the paid period to close the connections before
the end of the paid period, the router extends the connection to the end of the next paid
period, minus disconnect time.
X.25 Policy Routing
X.25 Policy Routing routes a specific IP packet to the target IP host through an X.25
D channel and provide the parameters needed for a X.25 D channel connection. The router
does not require knowledge of POS transaction formats or protocols.
X.25 Over B Channel
Cisco 700 series router software Release 4.1(1) and higher includes a special image that
supports the Cardway TPAD services (British Telecom). The connection is made through
the Cisco 700 series router serial port.
X.25 Priority Queueing
Priority queueing improves the responsiveness of the D channel link. X.25 is a flowcontrolled, nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) protocol. A high-priority packet might not
be transmitted first, even when it is eligible. With priority queueing, data can be put into
one of the four priority queues: high, medium, normal, and low. Packets with the same
priority are sent on a first-in-first-out basis.
Leased Line Authentication Requirement Removed
In software Release 4.0(1) and higher, the authentication sequence is no longer required for
leased line connections. (For 64-kbps or 128-kbps leased line connections, previous
versions of the software required PAP/CHAP authentication to identify the corresponding
profile.)
To eliminate the need for authentication, a user-defined profile named leasedline must be
present and defined. If this profile is not present upon call connect, the router requires
authentication to select the correct profile. If the call cannot be authenticated, the router
1-6
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
defaults to the Standard profile. Within the user-defined profile called leasedline, verify that
PPP authentication is set to none. The switch types that support this feature are PERM64
and PERM128.
Security Features
Cisco 700 series routers provide the following security features:
• PPP authentication support, including Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and
• RFC 1570—PPP Link Control Protocol (LCP) Extensions
• RFC 1582—Extensions to RIP to Support Demand Circuits

Data Call Button (Cisco 770 Series Routers Only)
The data call button on the front panel of Cisco 770 series routers provides an alternative to
establishing or disconnecting data calls through the command interface. The data call
button performs in Make or Break mode. If no B channels are connected for data, and at
least one B channel is available, the button works in Make mode and attempts to establish
a call. When at least one B channel is connected for data, the button works in Break mode,
disconnecting the call. Table 1-2 summarizes the operation of the Cisco 770 series data call
button.

Safety
Before installing the router, read these warnings:
Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its
power source.
Warning Before working on any system, turn the power switch to off and unplug
the power cord.
Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove
jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when
connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal
object to the terminals.
Warning The ISDN connection is regarded as a source of voltage that should be
inaccessible to user contact. Do not attempt to tamper with or open any public
telephone operator (PTO)-provided equipment or connection hardware. Any hardwired connection (other than by a nonremovable, connect-one-time-only plug)
must be made only by PTO staff or suitably trained engineers.
2-2
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain
SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports
both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all
national laws and regulations.
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
Preventing Damage to Your Router
Use the following guidelines when connecting devices to your router:
• Connect the color-coded cables supplied by Cisco to the color-coded ports on the back
panel.
• If you must supply additional cables, we strongly recommend ordering the cables from
your Cisco 700 series router vendor.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies of
different electrostatic potentials, such as an operator and a piece of electrical equipment. It
occurs when electronic components are improperly handled, and it can damage equipment
and impair electrical circuitry. Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur with the
combination of synthetic fibers and dry atmosphere.
Always use the following ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing
components:
Step 1Connect the chassis to earth ground with a wire that you provide.
Step 2Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes
good skin contact.
Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel
unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and
shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is
available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis. Always
follow the guidelines in the preceding section, “Safety.”
Step 3Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports that
do not have a cable attached.
If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch the exposed pins at the
unconnected end of the cable.
Note This device is intended for use in residential and commercial environments only.
Preparing for Installation 2-3
Unpacking Your Router
Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which
should be between 1 and 10 megaohms (Mohms).

Installing Your Router
This chapter describes the tasks necessary to connect your PC or hub through the router to
an ISDN line and connect a PC or ASCII terminal to the router for configuration purposes.
Before you begin, it is important to know if the device you are connecting to a hub or a
node. Basically, a hub is a device that connects three or more nodes. Nodes are everything
else, such as network interface cards (NICs) installed in PCs. For additional information on
hubs and nodes, see the “HUB/NODE Switch” section in Chapter 6, “Concepts and
Descriptions.”
To install your Cisco 700 series router, you must perform the following tasks:
• Connect the Ethernet devices to the router.
• Connect the ISDN line to the router.
• Connect the router to a power source.
• Verify the router installation.
Note The Cisco 700 Quick Reference Guide has diagrams showing common installations.
Connecting Ethernet Devices
The Ethernet ports are marked in yellow on the back panel.
Caution Do not connect the yellow Ethernet ports on your router to any other
port or device, except another Ethernet port. Connecting the cable to the wrong
port can damage your router.
Installing Your Router 3-1
Connecting Ethernet Devices
To connect Ethernet devices to the router, complete the following steps:
Step 1If you are connecting to a node, or if you are connecting a Cisco 761, Cisco 762,
Cisco 765, Cisco 771, Cisco 772, or Cisco 775 router to a hub, connect the
yellow Ethernet cable to the yellow port labeled ETHERNET on the rear panel.
If you are connecting a Cisco 766 or Cisco 776 router to a hub, connect an
Ethernet crossover cable (not supplied) to any open Ethernet port.
Step 2Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet connector on the LAN device,
such as the Ethernet port of the NIC on the back of your computer.
(See Figure 3-1.)
Step 3Set the HUB/NODE switch if you are connecting a Cisco 700 series router other
than a Cisco 766 or Cisco 776 router.

location. The following sections describe each.
Installing Your Router 3-3
Connecting the ISDN Line
Provisioning the NT1
Outside of North America, you might need to provide an external network terminator type 1
(NT1) and the ISDN U cable that connects the NT1 to the ISDN wall jack. Contact your
telephone service provider and ask for the following information:
• Is an external NT1 and an ISDN U cable required?
• Does the telephone service provider provide the NT1 or must you supply it?
• If you must supply the NT1, can the telephone service provider provide a list of NT1
vendors?
Inside North America, if you have a 761, 765, 771, or 775, you must provide an external
NT1 and the ISDN U cable that connects the NT1 to the ISDN wall jack. Contact your
telephone service provider for a list of NT1 vendors. If you have a 762, 766, 772, or 776,
you can use the internal NT1 in the router.
Note Detailed information on provisioning your line can be found in Appendix C,
“Provisioning the ISDN BRI Line.” In addition, the Cisco 700 Quick Reference Guide
contains a form to guide you in gathering the provisioning information.
3-4
Warning Network hazardous voltages are present in the ISDN cable. If you
detach the ISDN cable, detach the end away from the router first to avoid possible
electric shock. Network hazardous voltages also are present on the system card in
the area of the ISDN port (RJ-45 connector), regardless of when power is turned
to standby.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during
periods of lightening activity.
Warning To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunications line cord.
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
Connecting the ISDN Line to the S/T Port
The S/T port connects to some telephone service provider networks using an external NT1.
The need for an external NT1 is determined by your telephone service provider network.
Note If you are interested in the technical aspects of S/T ports, additional information can
be found in the “ISDN Ports” section of Chapter 6, “Concepts and Descriptions.”
Caution Always connect the orange cable to the orange S/T port on the router.
Do not connect the cable to a yellow Ethernet port. This will damage your router.
To connect an ISDN line to the S/T port of a router when your telephone service provider
said that an NT1 is not required, complete the following steps:
Step 1Connect the orange S/T cable to the orange port labeled S/T on the rear panel of
your router.
Step 2Connect the other end of the orange S/T cable to the ISDN wall socket. (See

Verifying Installation
Verifying Installation
When the router is powered on, it is automatically booted, and the router attempts to
establish links to the LAN and the WAN.
Compare the LED states with known activity. For example, all LEDs should blink at least
once during the boot process, which takes a few minutes. Once the router is booted, you
can verify your connections by using the LEDs.
The LAN, CH1, and CH2 LEDs each have companion RDX and TDX LEDs. The RDX and
TDX LEDs indicate traffic on the respective channels. Using an application such as a Web
browser, verify that the router is receiving data from the WAN. When you access a Web
page on the network, the router indicates the transfer of data by turning on the LAN LED
and blinking the companion RDX and TDX LEDs. The CH1 LED also turns on and the
companion RDX and TDX LEDs blink. The CH2 LED might turn on, depending on the
amount of traffic. If the LEDs do not behave as expected, check the physical connections.
Brief descriptions of the LED states as they relate to the physical connections are provided
in Table 3-1. All the LEDs are listed, but each router model has a different subset of LEDs.
If your connections are correct and the LEDs are not in the correct state, it might be because
the router or PC is not yet configured. If your router is configured and the states are not
correct, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting Cisco 700 Series Routers.”

able to turn on your PC, enter the configuration parameters for the PC (your service
provider or network administrator provides these instructions), and connect to the Internet
or your corporate network. Once the connection is established, the installation is complete.
Installing Your Router 3-11
Where To Go From Here
If your router is not preconfigured, gather the information listed in Cisco 700 Quick
Reference Guide. This information is commonly available from your ISDN service
provider (telephone company) and the network administrator of the central site network or
your Internet service provider.
Cisco strongly recommends that you use the Cisco 700 Fast Step Setup application unless
you have been instructed to do otherwise. Cisco 700 Fast Step applications are located on
the CD-ROM inside the Cisco 700 Quick Reference Guide.
If you are an experienced user and want to use the command-line interface (CLI) to
configure the software or have been instructed to do so, refer to the Cisco 700 Series Command Reference for a list of the commands and some configuration examples.

Devices
This chapter describes how to connect an ISDN or analog telephone to a Cisco 700 series
router and how to configure the router to support that telephone. An ISDN telephone can
be connected to the ISDN S/T port of any Cisco 700 series router. An analog telephone can
be connected to a Cisco 765, Cisco 766, Cisco 775, or Cisco 776 router basic telephone
service port (also known as “plain old telephone service” or “POTS” port).
Note During a voice call, if the remote party hangs up the receiver and your receiver
remains off-hook, you will hear a fast busy tone after 30 seconds.
Connecting an ISDN (Digital) Telephone
You can connect an ISDN telephone to any Cisco 700 series router with an S/T port. The
ISDN telephone communicates over the same ISDN line the router uses to send and receive
data. ISDN telephones are available in two basic models, self-powered (described in the
section “Connecting a Self-Powered Digital Telephone”) and with an independent power
supply (described in the section “Connecting a Digital Telephone with an External Power
Supply”).

you use, the procedure to connect the ISDN telephone and power supply might differ
slightly. This example procedure describes how to connect an AT&T ISDN telephone
(model ISDN 8510T) and an AT&T external power supply (model MSP-1). Also refer to
the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the telephone.
ISDN and Analog Telephone Devices 4-3
Connecting an ISDN (Digital) Telephone
You must provide the following equipment:
• NT1 with two S/T interfaces and one U interface.
• Telephone cable to connect digital telephone. (This cable is usually provided with the
telephone.)
• ISDN U cable that connects the NT1 to the ISDN wall jack.
Take the following steps to connect the ISDN telephone and external power supply. This
procedure assumes you have connected the ISDN U port to the ISDN wall jack (see
Figure 4-1).
Step 1Connect an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable (included) from the ISDN S/T port (on the rear
panel of the router) to the port labeled LINE on the ISDN telephone power
supply. (See Figure 4-2.)
Step 2Connect the ISDN telephone RJ-45 cable to the port labeled PHONE on the
ISDN telephone power supply. (See Figure 4-2.)
Step 3Connect the telephone power supply to the power outlet.
You can now use the ISDN telephone on the same ISDN line as the router.

Connecting an Analog Telephone Device
If you are using a Cisco 765, Cisco 766, Cisco 775, or Cisco 776, you can connect one or
two analog devices, such as a telephone, fax machine, or modem, directly to the router. The
analog device is connected to basic telephone services through the same ISDN line the
router uses.
Also, if you are outside of North America, you might need to provide an adapter cable for
the type of connector that your device uses (the telephone uses an RJ-11 connector.)
To connect the analog device to the router, connect the telephone cable (provided with the
analog device) to the RJ-11 port (labeled with a telephone icon) on the rear panel of the
router, as shown in Figure 4-3.

Supplementary Services
This section describes how to configure the Cisco 765, Cisco 766, Cisco 775, and
Cisco 776 routers for supported supplementary services. These are the only models that
support the following supplementary services:
• Call Waiting
• Call Hold and Retrieve
• Call Transfer
• Three-Way Call Conferencing
Cisco 700 series routers do not support Open Service Intervals or Battery Reversal.
4-6
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
Call Waiting
Note To use DTMF commands from the telephone keypad, the set local access command
must be set to on.
Note In this section, the term on-hook means to hang up the telephone.
Call waiting sounds a tone if you are already on a call and there is a second incoming call.
Your BRI line must be provisioned for the additional call offerings (ACOs) call hold and
call retrieve to use call waiting. (For more information on ACOs, refer to the appendix
“Provisioning the ISDN BRI Line.”) One analog telephone interface can support two calls;
therefore, only one call at a time can be waiting.
To retrieve the new call, perform a flash or short on-hook (quickly press the telephone
receiver button once) to place the call in progress on hold and answer the new call. If your
analog telephone offers the option, you can press the Flash key instead of the telephone
receiver button to put the call on hold and answer the new call.
You can toggle between calls on the same analog telephone interface by performing the
short on-hook or by using the Flash key.
If you terminate one call and return the receiver to the hook, the waiting call remains active.
The telephone rings, and when you pick up the receiver, you are connected to the waiting
call.
The set callwaiting command enables call waiting for the analog port specified. Following
is an example of the set callwaiting command that turns on the call waiting feature on the
phone1 port:
766> set callwaiting interface phone1 on
ISDN and Analog Telephone Devices 4-7
Supplementary Services
Disabling Call Waiting
Depending upon the devices connected to the analog telephone ports, it might be necessary
to disable call waiting, for example, if the tone generated by the call waiting service
interrupts data transfer when using an analog fax machine connected to the router. (Consult
the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the device to determine if this is
necessary.)
The set callwaiting command disables call waiting for the analog port specified. Following
is an example of the set callwaiting command that turns off the call waiting feature on the
phone1 port:
766> set callwaiting interface phone1 off
Disabling Call Waiting on a Per-Call Basis
When making an outgoing voice call over one of the analog telephone ports, you might
want to disable the call waiting feature on a per-call basis. To disable call waiting, use the
dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) command, dialed on the keypad of the telephone, as
shown in the following example:
**99#
When the voice call is completed, call waiting is restored.
Call Hold and Retrieve
Call hold and retrieve is the ability to place a caller on hold, make a second call, and return
to the first call. (Some countries that use the NET3 switch do not support ISDN
provisioning for call hold and call retrieve.)
To place a call on hold:
Step 1Perform a short on-hook (quickly press the telephone receiver button once) to
get a dial tone.
If your analog telephone device offers the option, you can press the Flash key
instead of the short on-hook to put the call on hold.
Step 2Dial the hold access number, **95#.
Step 3Dial the second call.
4-8
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
To retrieve the call placed on hold, perform the short on-hook or press the Flash key again.
If you have a call on hold and you hang up, the telephone rings, indicating a call is on hold.
Picking up the telephone receiver connects you to the caller on hold.
Call Transfer
Call transfer is the ability to transfer an active call to another number. (Some countries that
use the NET3 switch do not support ISDN provisioning for call transfer.)
Take the following steps to transfer an active incoming call to another telephone number:
Step 1Perform a short on-hook (quickly press the telephone receiver button once) to
Step 2Dial the number to which the call is to be transferred.
Step 3Hang up the receiver. The call is transferred.
get a dial tone.
If your analog telephone device offers the option, you can press the Flash key
instead of the short on-hook to put the call on hold.
You can also return to the original call by performing another short on-hook.
If the transfer fails, the caller remains on hold, and the telephone rings to alert
you to the call on hold.
Three-Way Call Conferencing
Three-way call conferencing adds another party to an active call. (Some countries that use
the NET3 switch do not support ISDN provisioning for three-way call conferencing.) Up
to three people can be connected using three-way conferencing. (It is a known limitation
that no more than two Cisco 700 series routers can be connected.)
Take the following steps to add a third party to an active call:
Step 1Perform a short on-hook (quickly press the telephone receiver button once) to
get a dial tone.
If your analog telephone device offers the option, you can press the Flash key
instead of the short on-hook to put the call on hold.
ISDN and Analog Telephone Devices 4-9
Country-Specific Dialing Instructions
Step 2Dial the second call.
Step 3When the second call is answered, perform a short on-hook to connect the
original caller.
Country-Specific Dialing Instructions
Integrated Network Service (INS) ISDN lines are used in Japan. NET3 lines are used
throughout Europe and parts of Asia. 1TR6 ISDN lines are used throughout Europe. This
section describes analog telephone dialing instructions specific to these countries.
Dialing with INS ISDN Lines for Japan
To make an analog telephone call over INS ISDN lines in Japan from a telephone connected
to Cisco 700 series routers, take the following steps:
Step 1Enter each individual number (called a dialing digit) of the telephone number on
the telephone keypad.
You must enter each successive dialing digit within 6 seconds of entering the
previous digit. If you wait longer than 6 seconds, an incomplete set of dialing
digits is sent to the switch.
4-10
Step 2Send the entire set of dialing digits to the switch in one of the following ways:
• Press the pound (#) key on the telephone keypad.
• Wait 6 seconds without entering any more dialing digits on the telephone
keypad. After 6 seconds, the set of dialing digits is automatically sent to the
switch.
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
Disabling the Pound Key’s End-of-Dial Function
If the pound (#) key is one of the dialing digits in a telephone number, you can disable the
end-of-call function on a per-call basis. This command applies only to INS router software.
To disable the end-of-call function, use the following DTMF command:
**98#
After entering the **98# command, wait for the dial tone and enter the desired dialing
digits, including the pound (#) key. The call is sent 6 seconds after the last dialing digit is
entered. When the call is terminated, the end-of-call function is restored for the next call.
Internal Tones for NET3 and 1TR6 ISDN Lines for Europe
Depending on the ISDN service provider, certain internal tones, such as dial, ring back, and
busy tones, might not be provided by the telephone switch (the device on the other end of
the ISDN line). If this is the case with the ISDN line you are using, you can configure
Cisco 700 series routers to provide just the dial tone or all tones. This command applies
only to NET3 router software and to 1TR6 router software.
The set internaltones command provides just the dial tone or all internal tones. By default,
the router provides all internal tones.
The following is an example of a set internaltones command that enables the dial tone
only:
766> set internaltones dialtone
Call Forwarding in Sweden and Finland
Call Forwarding supplementary service has been added to software Release 4.0(2) and
higher for Sweden and Finland (NET3). The Call Forwarding types supported are as
follows:
Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU)—Enables the network to redirect all incoming calls
to another party, regardless of the status of the user.
Call Forwarding No Reply (CFNR)—Enables the network to redirect calls to another party
when the call is not established within a predefined period of time.
ISDN and Analog Telephone Devices 4-11
Country-Specific Dialing Instructions
Call Forwarding Busy (CFB)—Enables the network to redirect to another party calls that
meet a busy condition.
In all types of Call Forwarding, the user’s ability to originate calls is unaffected by the Call
Forwarding supplementary service.
The feature numbers for Call Forwarding are provided here for convenience, but they could
be different in your area, depending upon the local telephone service provider.
To activate Call Forwarding:
Step 1Take the phone off hook.
Step 2Dial *feature number* phone number to be forwarded to #.
Step 3Hang up. You might hear a confirmation signal from the network before you
hang up.
To deactivate Call Forwarding:
Step 1Take the phone off hook.
Step 2Dial #feature number#.
If the wrong feature number is entered, you might hear a signal indicating the
wrong feature number was entered or the activation or deactivation failed.

There is no equivalent command-line command to activate or deactivate Call Forwarding.
The phone number to which calls are redirected is not displayed.
All types of Call Forwarding supplementary services must be provisioned on the ISDN line
for the service to be available.
Where To Go From Here
If your router has been preconfigured, there is nothing more to do except power on the
router.
If you are using the Cisco 700 Fast Step Setup application to configure your router, it
includes steps to configure the digital and analog devices attached to your router. Cisco 700
Fast Step applications are on the CD-ROM inside the Cisco 700 Quick Reference Guide.
If you are an experienced user and want to use the command-line interface (CLI) to
configure the digital and analog devices or have been instructed to do so, refer to the
Cisco 700 Series Command Reference for a list of the commands and some configuration
examples. The Cisco 700 Series Command Reference is on the Documentation CD.

Troubleshooting Cisco 700
Series Routers
This chapter helps you find solutions to problems you might be having with your router.
Begin by attempting to isolate the problem to a specific source.
Power-On Self-Test
When the router is powered on, it performs a series of self-tests. After these tests are
completed, the LEDs indicate operating status. Any operational problem is represented by
a combination of lit and unlit LEDs. Cisco 760 series routers have 12 to 14 (depending on
the model) LEDs on the front panel. Cisco 770 series routers have 15 to 18 LEDs on the
front panel.
CHAPTER
5
Note The function of each LED is described in the “Front-Panel LEDs” section of
Chapter 1, “Overview.”
LED Diagnostics
The front-panel LEDs can be used for diagnostic purposes. Table 5-1 lists the combinations
of lit and unlit LEDs and their significance.
To verify your Ethernet connection, check that one of the following LEDs is on:

TWAIT Timer
During initialization (power-up or reboot), with the switch type set to NI1, the following
message displays:
The timer value varies from 1 second to 5 minutes. Upon expiration of the time, the router
requests a terminal endpoint identifier (TEI) and initiates SPID initialization as usual. If
needed, either a voice or data call can be initiated instead of waiting for the timer to expire.
This stops the timer immediately and allows initialization to continue.
Note that the call will be successful unless the ISDN line has not been given enough time
to rest before power-up or reboot.

Communicating with the WAN
This section describes the problems and solutions commonly found in Cisco 700 series
router configurations.
Terminal Identifier or SPID Problems
Either of the following messages received on your terminal might indicate a SPID
configuration problem:
Channel Not Available
Facility Not Subscribed
Check for the following conditions:
• The wrong ISDN switch type was set. Change the switch type by using the set switch
command or the Cisco 700 Fast Step Setup application.
• The ISDN line was incorrectly configured by the ISDN service provider. Confirm the
line configuration with the ISDN service provider.
• The SPIDs were not entered or were entered incorrectly. Enter or change the SPIDs by
using the set spid command or the Cisco 700 Fast Step Setup application.
Outgoing Calls Cannot be Initiated
If outgoing calls are unsuccessful, check for the following conditions:
• A telephone number was not correctly configured. Enter or change the number with the
set number command or the Cisco 700 Fast Step Setup application.
• The ISDN B channel is under operator control and does not respond to the router.
Contact your ISDN service provider.
• The SPIDs were not entered or were entered incorrectly. Enter or change the SPIDs by
using the set spid command or the Cisco 700 Fast Step Setup application.
Troubleshooting Cisco 700 Series Routers 5-3
Communicating with the WAN
Outgoing Calls are Rejected
If an outgoing call is initially successful and then rejected, check for the following
conditions:
• A telephone number was incorrectly configured with the set number command.
• To resolve error messages such as “Incompatible Destination,” use the set number
command to enter a 1 at the beginning of the number, even if the number called is in the
same area code. (Some networks require the 1 to connect a data call at 64 kbps.)
• The number called is busy. Try the call again.
• The ISDN line was incorrectly configured by the ISDN service provider. Confirm the
line configuration with the ISDN service provider.
• If using authentication, the client password or secret might not match the remote router’s
host password or secret.
Incoming Calls Not Received
If the router places outbound calls without any problems, but cannot receive incoming calls,
check the following:
• Verify the directory numbers are set correctly. Enter or change the number with the set
directory number command or the Cisco 700 Fast Step Setup application.
• ISDN line provisioning is correct. Confirm the line configuration with the ISDN service
provider.
• PPP host secret and password match the client secret and password. Confirm the
passwords with the ISDN service provider.
• A profile with a name matching the client host name exists. Rename or delete the
profile.
Router Calls Itself
ISDN supports two separate logical data channels on the same physical line. If these two
numbers are the same, the router might attempt to call itself when on-demand dialing is
enabled or if the user issues the call command.
5-4
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
If the router calls itself, check that the number configured with the set number command
is not the same as the number configured with the set directory number command.
Communicating with the LAN
If you have problems communicating with a 10BaseT Ethernet LAN device (such as your
PC), do the following:
• Verify the LINK LED on the back panel of all models except Cisco 766 or Cisco 776
routers or at least one of the link (LK1, LK2, LK3, or LK4) LEDs on Cisco 766 or
Cisco 776 routers is on, indicating the router is communicating with the LAN device. If
the LED is blinking, it is attempting to establish a connection. Check the Ethernet cables
or the device attached to the other end of the cable, such as the network interface card
(NIC) in your PC.
• Verify the LAN LED on the front panel is lit, indicating the router is communicating
with the LAN device. If the LED is blinking, it is attempting to establish a connection.
Check the Ethernet cables or the device attached to the other end of the cable, such as
the NIC in your PC.
• Check the HUB/NODE switch located on the back panel of all models except Cisco 766
or Cisco 776 routers. This switch eliminates the need for an Ethernet crossover cable
when connecting to a hub. If it is in the wrong position, it will not cause any damage to
the equipment; however, the signals will not be sent to the correct location. If you are
connecting directly to a PC, the switch should be in the HUB position. If you are
connecting to a hub, the switch should be in the NODE position.
Note For a description of the HUB/NODE switch function, see “HUB/NODE Switch”
section in Chapter 6, “Concepts and Descriptions.”
Troubleshooting Cisco 700 Series Routers 5-5
Inband Timeout Violation
Inband Timeout Violation
The Inband Timeout Violation error message indicates the router cannot communicate with
the remote device after an ISDN connection had been established. This might be caused by
the speed of the connection. Under some conditions, the router attempts to connect at
56 kbps, and the remote device attempts to connect at 64 kbps. The data becomes unusable.
Set the speed to 64 kbps, and attempt the connection again.
ISDN BRI Cause Values
This section describes ISDN BRI standard cause values that might be received from the
ISDN switch when using Cisco 700 series routers. These values are sent from the ISDN
switch to the router to indicate ISDN call status.
Although ISDN service providers generally define cause messages with decimal values,
Cisco 700 series routers display the hexadecimal (or hex) translation of the decimal value.
Table 5-2 lists the ISDN BRI cause values, the hexadecimal translation, the cause message,
and a short definition of the cause message. Cause values are standardized; however, each
ISDN service provider uses its own version of the cause message wording. Therefore, the
cause messages shown in Table 5-2 might not match the messages exactly as they appear
on the terminal.

ISDN Ports
Cisco 700 series routers provide one basic rate interface (BRI). The ISDN BRI service
provided by your telephone service provider offers two bearer channels (B channels) and
one data channel (D channel). The B channel operates at 64 kbps and carries user data. The
D channel operates at 16 kbps and carries control and signaling information, although it can
support user data transmission under certain circumstances.
Public Switched Telephone Network
Routing Information Protocol
Numbers assigned by the ISDN service provider that identify the ISDN B channels.
They are assigned only in North America. The SPID format is generally the ISDN
telephone number with several numbers added to it. Depending on the switch type
supporting your ISDN BRI line, your ISDN line might be assigned none, one, or two
SPIDs.
Transmission Control Protocol
Terminal Packet Assembler and Disassembler
Outside North America, telephone service providers typically provide an S/T interface. The
S/T interfaces are four-wire (two pairs of two wires) interfaces that supports full-duplex
data transfer over two pairs of wires.
Inside North America, telephone service providers typically provide a U interface. The
U interface is a two-wire (single pair) interface that supports full-duplex data transfer over
a single pair of wires.
Concepts and Descriptions 6-3
HUB/NODE Switch
NT1 and the ISDN Ports
Commonly, telephone carriers use a four-wire network within their system. The wiring in
your home or business is a two-wire local loop. A Network Termination 1 (NT1) device
connects the telephone carrier four-wire network to a two-wire local loop.
Inside North America, it is common to find an NT1 built into a network device. Outside
North America, the telephone carrier or the user must provide an external NT1. To use the
internal NT1, the telephone carrier line is connected to an ISDN U port. If an external NT1
is required, the telephone carrier line is connected the ISDN U port on the NT1, and the
router’s ISDN S/T port is connected to the ISDN S/T port on the NT1.
HUB/NODE Switch
The Ethernet ports on hubs are wired differently than the Ethernet ports on nodes. This
allows the devices to communicate with a straight-through Ethernet cable. Basically,
transmitted data must be sent from the transmit pin on one device to the receive pin on the
other device, and vice versa. Nodes connected to hubs handle this crossover internally. If
the signal does not cross over, the transmitted data is sent from the transmit pin on the
sending device to the transmit pin on the receiving device, and communications fails.
To connect two nodes or two hubs, the signal must be crossed externally. Usually this is
accomplished using an Ethernet crossover cable. The pins of a crossover cable have been
rewired so the transmit pins are connected to the receive pins, as shown in Figure 6-1.

Your Cisco 761,Cisco 762, Cisco 765, Cisco 771, Cisco 772, or Cisco 775 router can be
either a hub or a node. The HUB/NODE switch eliminates the need for a crossover cable.
When the switch is in NODE position, the router is seen as a node and connects to a hub
with a straight Ethernet cable. When the switch is in HUB position, the router can connect
to a network interface card (NIC) installed in a PC.
Cisco 766 and Cisco 776 routers have an unmanaged 4-port Ethernet hub. If you are
connecting a Cisco 766 or Cisco 776 router to another Ethernet hub, you must use a
crossover cable.

Terminal Communications
This appendix describes the processes for establishing a terminal connection, loading the
Cisco 700 IOS software (also known as the software image), and loading and saving the
current configuration.
Establishing a Terminal Connection
By connecting an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software, you can
configure the router through a serial connection. This might not be necessary for the
following reasons:
• You are configuring the router through the LAN by using Cisco 700 Fast Step Setup or
Telnet.
APPENDIX
B
• The router is preconfigured by a vendor or network administrator to be “plug-and-play.”
• The router will be configured using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) and can
“discover” its configuration.
The example in this section shows how to connect to the router serial communications port
from your ASCII terminal or PC by using Hyperterminal. (Hyperterminal is an accessory
software application included with the Windows operating system.)
Take the following steps to connect your router to a console through the configuration port:
Step 1Connect the blue DB-9-to-DB-9 serial cable from your terminal to the rear-panel
port labeled CONFIG. (See Figure B-1.)
If your terminal or PC console has a DB-25 connector, use the included
DB-25-to-DB-9 adapter. If you are connecting the router to a Macintosh
computer, you need a straight-through RS-422-to-DB-9 or RS-422-to-DB-25
cable.
Connect the other end of the console cable to the ASCII terminal or PC.
Note The router is a data communications equipment (DCE) device. A
crossover cable is not required.
Step 3Start HyperTerminal. Click Start>Accessories>HyperTerminal. The
Connection Description window displays.
Step 4Enter a name in the Name field of the Connection Description window. When
you click OK, the Phone Number window displays.
Step 5Select the COM port from the Connect using list to which the router is
connected. For example, if the router is connected to the COM2 port of your PC,
select Direct to COM2. When you click OK, the Port Settings window displays.
Step 6Set the port as follows:
• Bits per second = 9600
• Data bits = 8
• Parity = None
• Stop bits = 1
• Flow control = None
B-2
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
Note The configuration port does not support hardware flow control.
Step 7Power on the router.
Step 8Click OK to connect. You can test the connection by pressing Enter. A
command-line interface prompt appears.
It is assumed that this is a new connection. Once it is created, you can save the Connection
Description by selecting File>Save As.
Troubleshooting the Terminal Connection
Although the balance of the Hyperterminal settings should default to the correct values, if
you have problems, select File>Properties, and check the following.

In addition, check for COM port conflicts. If you suspect a hardware conflict, select
Start>Help, and search for ports>Hardware Conflict Troubleshooter. From the
Hardware Conflict Troubleshooter help window, you can launch the Hardware Conflict
Troubleshooter.
TPAD Support
The serial port can be configured as a TPAD port. Communications with the router through
the serial port for configuration purposes are not possible when TPAD is enabled. You can
continue to enter configuration commands by using Telnet.
Settings>ASCII SetupDeselected
Settings>ASCII SetupDeselected
Settings>ASCII SetupSelected
B-4
The following example sets the serial port as a TPAD port:
Host> set serialport tpad
To switch from TPAD mode to configuration mode, do one of the following:
• From the terminal connected to the serial port, enter ^A three times, followed by a
Return to restore the prompt.
• From a Telnet session, enter the set serial config command.
The current state of the serial port can be displayed by using the show configuration
command in a Telnet session.
For complete information on TPAD, see the Cisco 700 Series Command Reference.
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
Downloading Software
The default image for Cisco 761, Cisco 765, Cisco 771, and Cisco 775 routers is NET3, IR.
The default image for all other Cisco 700 series routers is US. Usually the software loaded
in your router at the factory is the most up-to-date version available. You might want to
update the image if
• The default image is not the correct image for your area.
• A new version of the image has been released.
• Another version of the image contains features you desire.
The following example loads the operating system software in the router through a serial
connection from the terminal to the configuration port.

Provisioning the ISDN BRI Line
If your router has not been preconfigured, usually you can configure your router by filling
out the forms provided in the Cisco 700 Quick Reference Guide and following the
instructions in the Cisco Fast Step Setup application. The Cisco Fast Step Setup application
takes advantage of the Cisco 700 series router’s ability to detect the switch type and SPID
information. However, there might be cases where you need detailed information to
complete the configuration.
This appendix provides detailed information to help you order and configure the Integrated
Service Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) line to operate with your
Cisco 700 series router.
Both the ISDN line configuration and the router configuration are dependent on the switch
type used. Switches that comply with the NI1 standard provide the best performance with
Cisco 700 series routers.
C
Data and Voice
The Cisco 765, Cisco 766, Cisco 775, and Cisco 776 routers support data and voice
applications. The voice applications on these four router models are implemented with
ISDN BRI and through the analog telephone port on the router.
Note When ordering an ISDN line to support multiple voice calls, provision the line for
call appearances 1 and 2.
Provisioning the ISDN BRI Line C-1
Data and Voice
Note Some ISDN service providers might charge a lower rate for an ISDN line that
supports only data applications. If you do not require voice capability on your ISDN line,
provision the line for data application support only.
Table C-1 describes the data and voice application features.
Table C-1ISDN BRI Data and Voice Applications
FeatureDescription
SubaddressingProvides locally addressed terminals within a
specific ISDN access area.
Speech/3.1-kHz audio-bearer capabilityEnables use of terminal equipment that supports
voice applications. Examples of this type of
equipment are ISDN telephones and terminal
adapters.
Multiple subscriber numbers (MSN)Enables the use of multiple directory numbers on
the same ISDN line. Each piece of terminal
equipment on the same ISDN line can then be
assigned its own directory number.
Call hold and retrieveEnables a call in progress to be put on hold and
then retrieved.
Call waitingDuring a voice call, enables the call waiting tone to
be generated when a second voice call is received.
Call bumpingWhen two data calls are in progress and ACO is
provisioned on the ISDN line, the router can be
configured to either ignore a voice call or
disconnect a data call to accept the voice call. (Also
referred to as voice priority.)
Call transferTransfers an active call to another telephone
number.
3-way call conferencingAdds a third party to an existing call.
C-2
Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide
Note There might be an additional charge for configuring the line to support some of these
features. Check with your service provider.
North America Switch Types
The following section describes the switch types commonly found inside North America
that are compatible with Cisco 700 series routers.
National ISDN-1
National ISDN-1 (NI1) switches comply with established National ISDN standards. This
type of line is supported by AT&T, Lucent, Northern Telecom, and other manufacturers’
switches.
Note Switches that comply with the NI1 standard provide the best performance with
Cisco 700 series voice-priority feature. If possible, order this type of ISDN line from your
service provider.
Lucent 5ESS Custom
Lucent 5ESS switches can run in custom mode, in addition to NI1 mode.
Custom mode allows the switch to be configured to operate in either a point-to-point or a
multipoint configuration. Point-to-point configuration supports one piece of terminal
equipment on the ISDN line and does not require Service Profile Identifiers (SPIDs).
Multipoint configuration supports multiple pieces of terminal equipment on the same ISDN
line and requires SPIDs.
Northern Telecom DMS-100 Custom
Northern Telecom DMS-100 switches support a custom mode used with older terminal
equipment.
Provisioning the ISDN BRI Line C-3
International ISDN Switch Types
International ISDN Switch Types
Cisco 700 series routers support most international switch types. International ISDN lines
generally use one of the following switch types:
• EURO-ISDN (also known as NET3)
• 1TR6
• TPH
• Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT)
Note International ISDN lines are not assigned SPIDs.
EURO-ISDN Switch Type
The EURO-ISDN switch type, also known as NET3, is used in Europe and parts of Asia,
including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Singapore, and Taiwan.
Enter the show version command to verify that the software loaded on your Cisco 700
series router is ISDN Stack Revision NET3 2.10. If the correct software is not loaded on your
router, contact your customer service representative.
1TR6 ISDN Switch Type
The 1TR6 switch type is used in Germany. Enter the show version command to verify that
the software loaded on your router is ISDN Stack Revision 1TR6 2.10. If the correct
software is not loaded on your router, contact your customer service representative.
Multiple Subscriber Numbers with 1TR6
The 1TR6 lines can be configured for multiple subscriber numbers, usually referred to as
“extended addressing” in Germany. The line is usually assigned a group of eight sequential
directory numbers that can be used for the different pieces of terminal equipment used on
the ISDN line. These numbers are also used for allocation to the analog telephone port and
for call routing.
