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.

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.
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.

Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install
or replace this equipment.
Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to
its power source.
Before working on a system that has a standby/off switch, turn the
power to standby and unplug the power cord.
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.
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.

Chapter 2Installation
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 1Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes good
skin contact.
CautionTo properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap
and cord must operate effectively. Always follow the guidelines in
the preceding section, “Safety.”
Step 2Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports that
do not have a cable attached.
Preparing for Installation
78-12837-02
If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch the exposed pins at the
unconnected end of the cable.
NoteThis router is intended for use in residential and commercial
environments only.
CautionPeriodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which
should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

The following conditions must be met when you mount the router:
• Because you will use the LEDs as status and problem indicators, the LEDs on
the front panel must face upward and be easily visible.
• The back panel must face downward to reduce strain on the cable
connections.
• The power supply must rest on a horizontal surface, such as the floor or a
table. If the power supply is not supported, it might place strain on the power
supply cable and cause it to disconnect from the connector on the router back
