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

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.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER WARRANTY HEREIN, ALL DOCUMENT FILES AND SOFTWARE OF THESE SUPPLIERS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH

Kensington Lock
A Kensington security slot is located on the router back panel. To secure the router to a desktop or other
surface, use the Kensington lockdown equipment.
Reset Button
The Reset button is used to restore the router to the factory default configuration or to load a custom
configuration file.
There are two different ways to do this:
1. by pressing the Reset button within 5 seconds of powering up the router; or
2. by pressing the Reset button for 5 seconds while running IOS.
NoteIf you execute a CLI reboot command while the embedded wireless AP is running Cisco Unified IOS
software, the router reboots, but the AP continues running. Clients with Cisco Unified IOS software are
controlled by a wireless LAN controller (WLC) and can be reset only by the controller.
Cisco 860VAE Routers—Custom Configuration File
On Cisco 860VAE routers, the reset button can be used to load a custom configuration file without having
to use the CLI. The configuration file can be located on an external USB flash drive or on the router's
compact flash.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
The custom configuration file must be named one of the following:
• customer-config
• SN-customer-config
When the system attempts to load a custom configuration file, configuration files on a USB flash drive
have priority over configuration files on the router's flash drive and the “SN-customer-config” file name
has priority over the “customer-config” file name. The priority for loading a configuration file is as
follows:
1. USB flash0: SN-customer-config
2. USB flash0: customer-config
3. Router flash: SN-customer-config
4. Router flash: customer-config
If the router does not find a valid custom configuration file, the system aborts the process.
To reset the router to the factory default configuration, follow these steps:

where “SN” is the unique hardware serial number.
Step 1Verify that IOS is running correctly by checking that the system status LED is on.
Step 2Press and hold the Reset button until the system status LED begins to flash. Typically, this occurs within
5 seconds.
The router reloads itself after the startup configuration has been replaced with the new customer
configuration.
Custom Configuration File for Cisco 892FSP, 896VA, 897VA, and Cisco 898EA
For the first method, the configuration file can be located on the router's compact flash or on the router's
nvram. The custom configuration file must use cfg as the filename extension.
When the system attempts to load a custom configuration file, configuration files on nvram have priority
over configuration files on the router's compact flash.
The priority for loading a configuration file is as follows:
1. nvram: *.cfg
2. Router flash: *.cfg
If the router does not find a valid custom configuration file, the system aborts the process.

OL-16215-11
Chapter 1 Product Overview
Because the LED indicators are shared, the LED illuminates (green) when either port is active. For
example, the LED indicator labeled BRI 1 B1 illuminates when either the BRI1 B1 channel is active or
when the FXS port is active. You can determine the activity status on each interface by using the
following commands.
• For activity status on the FXS ports, use the show port summary command.
• For activity status on the BRI ISDN port, use the show isdn status command.

Fan
Power Supply
Hardware Features
Some router models do not have a fan, while other models have either one or two fans.
The fans spin at full speed, as a diagnostic aid, immediately after the router is powered up. After the
router has booted, the fans spin as fast as necessary to minimize fan noise while maintaining a safe
internal operating temperature.
The following models have no fan:
• Cisco 892FSP
• Cisco 896VA
• Cisco 897VA
• Cisco 898EA
The Cisco 892FSP has a single +12V power supply input. The Cisco 892FSP power connector is
different from the barrel-type connector on other 890 series models. The AC adapter cable connector has
four pins and a built-in locking mechanism. Figure 3-27 shows the power adapter connector.
The Cisco 896VA, 897VA, and Cisco 898EA use PoE (12 VDC 43 W, -54 VDC 80 W) and non-PoE
(12 VDC 60 W) power supplies.
Power over Ethernet Module
The Cisco 880 series ISRs can include an optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) module that provides
power to 802.3af-compliant devices connected to FE ports 0 and 1.
The Cisco 890 series ISRs can include an optional PoE module that provides power to 802.3af-compliant
devices connected to FE ports 0, 1, 2, and 3.
The PoE module is an option available only for the Cisco 880 series and 890 series ISRs and requires a
48 V external power adapter.
This function can be added to an 880 or 890 series router by installing the PoE adapter card in the router
and inserting the PoE 48 V external power adapter.
NoteThe Cisco 880 series ISRs with embedded WLAN antennas require a single external power supply: a
30 W power supply for non-POE-enabled routers or a 60 W power supply for POE-enabled routers. For
the back panels of some of these routers, seeFigure 1-19 and Figure 1-21.
The following PoE budget is available:
• C867VAE-POE-W-A-K9: 15.4 W (one port PoE)
• Cisco 880 series: 30.8 W (2 ports each 15.4 W)
OL-16215-11

3G Cellular Data WAN Connectivity
The 3G (Evolution Data Only [EVDO], Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems [UMTS])
cellular interface is intended for use as a backup data link, but it can also be used as a primary WAN data
link. The 3G technology is third-generation wide-area cellular technology that is used in voice telephony
and broadband wireless data in a mobile environment.
Some Cisco 880G models come with a 34-mm express card slot ready for use with a commercial 3G card
radio. The 3G express card slot is located on the front panel. For a list of supported 3G cards, see the
Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers Data Sheet.
Other Cisco 880G models come with embedded WAN modems for use over GSM or CDMA networks.
These routers have antenna connectors on the back panel. GSM routers have two SIM card slots. For
information on configuring Cisco 880 series ISRs for 3G, see Configuring Cisco EHWIC and 880G for
3G (EV-DO Rev A) and Configuring Cisco EHWIC and 880G for 3.7G (HSPA+)/3.5G (HSPA).

Wireless LAN Connectivity
The embedded Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™, 802.11a/b/g/n-compliant wireless AP is preinstalled in the router
as an optional feature. The Cisco 860 series routers support autonomous features and network
configurations. The Cisco 880 series and 890 series routers support both autonomous and unified
features and network configurations.
The wireless AP does not have an external Console port. Use the router’s Console port as described in
Chapter 3, “Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port.” To configure the wireless device, use the
Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI).
Table 1 -14 describes the radios and antennas for the Cisco 860 series, 880 series, and 890 series routers.
NoteCisco 860VAE ISRs do not support wireless LAN connectivity.
