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.

Step 4 Make sure that your modem and the router auxiliary port are configured for the same transmission speed

(up to 115200 bits per second [b/s] is supported) and support mode control with data carrier detect
(DCD) and data terminal ready (DTR).

Connecting the 3G Card

Note The Cisco 880G router does not support OIR of the 3G card. You must enter the shutdown command on

the cellular interface before you remove the 3G card from the router.

To connect and secure the 3G card, follow these steps:

Step 1 Align the 3G card to the 3G express card slot, as shown in Figure 3-7. Keep the card parallel to the

surface and firmly push the card into the slot.

Connecting the 3G Card

Tip Holding the 3G card on the flat metal surface will make it easier to align and insert the 3G card.

Note When inserting the card into the 3G express card slot, you may hear a metal-on-metal sound as

the 3G card rubs against the internal metal cage. The 3G card is designed to fit tightly into the
3G express card slot. Firm pressure may be required to insert the card.

Note Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) customers need to insert a SIMM card,

provided by their network carrier, into the 3G card.

Connecting a Data BRI Port

You can connect the Data BRI port to the ISDN service provider as a backup link to the WAN port in
case the primary xDSL (general term referring to various forms of DSL, including global industry
standard symmetrical high-speed DSL [G.SHDSL]) WAN service fails. The Data BRI connection is not
available on the third-generation (3G) models.

The cabling requirements for the ISDN S/T connection are as follows:

• You must provide two unshielded Category 5 cables. The first cable connects the NT1 box to the

splitter, and the second cable connects the splitter to the wall jack.

• There are RJ-45 connectors at both ends of the default orange ISDN S/T cable. However, an

RJ-45–to–RJ-11 ISDN S/T cable is available upon request if the wall jack at the site requires an
RJ-11 connector. Contact your router reseller for the appropriate cable.

1

Caution Both LAN and WAN ports use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables to these

connectors. To avoid damage to the router, do not connect telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits
(such as ISDN or DSL circuits) to safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits (such as LAN circuits).

Note If you have specified the use of a private line automatic ringdown (PLAR) off-premises extension (OPX)

connection mode for an FXO voice port (with loop resistance less than 8000 Ohm), you must ensure
that the soft-offhook option is enabled on the port.

This option allows a stepped offhook resistance during seizure which avoids overloading the circuit
during offhook in the event that ringing voltage is present on the circuit at the same time as the trunk
seizure. The stepped offhook resistance is initially set to 800 Ohms, then adjusts to 50 Ohms when
ringing voltage is not present.
