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.

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)—An existing 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 operations 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.

Preface

Obtaining Additional Publications and Information

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, while 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.

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 initial 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 previous configuration.
Resetting the Configuration Register Value
If you are using an enable password, you use this process to restore the router to its previous 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 that is 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.
Step 3 Reboot the router by pressing the power switch to the off ( 0 ) position and then
to the on ( | ) position.

Problem Solving

The key to problem solving is to isolate the problem to a specific subsystem by comparing what the router is doing to what it should be doing.
In problem solving, consider the following subsystems of the router:
WICs—Refer to the LEDs on the cards and the LEDs on the router front panel
to help identify a failure. For more information on WAN interface cards (WICs), refer to the Cisco Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide.
Cables—Check all the external cables that connect the router to the network.
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.
Problem Solving

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.

Closing the Chassis

After installing memory or a VPN module on the motherboard, attach the router cover by following these steps:
Step 1 If you disconnected the fan from the motherboard in the “Opening the Chassis”
procedure, reconnect the fan cable to the connector labeled FAN on the motherboard.
Step 2 Locate the posts that protrude from the inside of the chassis cover, and locate the
corresponding openings on the chassis bottom.
Step 3 Line up the posts with the corresponding openings, as shown in Figure C-8, and
carefully slide the posts into the openings, taking care not to damage the router motherboard with the posts.
