1: Connect the Router to a PC

Follow the steps shown in Figure 1 on page 3 to connect the router to a PC with an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed. Figure 1 shows portions of two router back panels. Refer to the back panel that is similar to the back panel of the router that you are installing.

Note Verify that the TO HUB/TO PC switch on the left side of the back panel has been set to the TO PC

position (out). If the button is in, press it to set it to the out position. You will know that the position is correct if the LED for this port on the front of the router comes on after you have finished installing the router and the PCs have been turned on.

To connect additional computers to Cisco 827H, Cisco 828, or SOHO 78 routers, obtain standard Ethernet cables, and attach them to the router via Ethernet ports 1, 2, and 3.
