Chapter 2 Installation
Warning
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. (Tosee translated versions of this warning, refer to the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco 800 Series and SOHO
Series Routers

Caution Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.

(4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top of the router could damage the chassis.
Caution There are no field-replaceable parts inside the router. Do not open the router
enclosure to replace parts.
Caution To prevent damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift of tilt the chassis by the
plastic panel on the front. Always hold the chassis by the metal body.
Connecting the Router to Your Local Network
The Cisco 815 integrated services router is connected to your local Ethernet
network through the yellow 10/100 Ethernet port. Youmust provide the following
items for this connection:
• A straight-through, RJ-45-to-RJ-45, Ethernet cable
• A 10/100-Mbps Ethernet hub or switch

Caution Do not connect a WAN cable to the card until you have completed the installation
Note For details about specific WAN interface cards (WICs), connecting the card to the

procedure.
WAN line, and configuring the interface with Cisco IOS software, see the
Cisco Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide.
Warning
The ports labeled 10/100 ETHERNET and CONSOLE are safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits.
Because BRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid
connecting the SELV circuits to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.
(To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the
Regulatory Compliance
andSafetyInformationforCisco800 Series and SOHO Series Routers
that came with the router.)
Follow these steps to connect the router to the local network:
Step 1 Connect one end of the cable to the yellow Ethernet port (labeled
10/100 ETHERNET) on the back panel of the router, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Warning
The power supply is designed to work with TN power systems.
This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to
earth ground during normal use.
Follow these steps to connect power to the router and to turn on the router:
Step 1 Connect the attached power-supply cord to the power socket (labeled +5, +12,

panel is on.
Verifying Your Installation
You can verify that you have correctly installed the router by checking the
following LEDs:
• PWR (front panel)—On when power is being supplied to the router.
• OK (front panel)—On when the router software is loaded and functional.
Blinking indicates that the router is performing a power-on self-test (POST).
• WIC0/WIC1 OK (back panel)—On when the WIC is correctly installed in the
corresponding WIC slot.
• ETH ACT (front panel)—Blinking when there is network traffic on the local
10/100 Ethernet LAN.
• WIC0 ACT or WIC1 ACT (front panel)—Varies, depending on the WIC
installed. See Table 1-4 in Chapter 1, “Overview.”
• LINK (back panel)—On when the router is correctly connected to the local
Ethernet LAN through the 10/100 ETHERNET port.
• MOD OK (back panel)—On when the VPN hardware encryption module is
installed and recognized by the Cisco IOS software.

Optional Installation Procedures
This section describes some installation procedures that you might or might not
use, depending on your site and on how you are configuring the router. This
section describes the following procedures:
• Connecting a PC
• Connecting a Modem
• Stacking the Router
• Unstacking the Router
Connecting a PC
If you want to use the Cisco IOS command-line interface to configure the router,
you must connect the router console port to a terminal or PC. The cable and
adapter required for this connection are included with the router.
If you want to use a PC to configure the router, you need to make sure that the PC
has some type of terminal emulation software installed. The software should be
configured with the following parameters: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits,
1 stop bit.
Follow these steps to connect the router to a terminal or PC:

Stacking the Router
You can stack one Cisco 815 integrated services router in a four-device stack,
along with other Cisco products designed for stacking with the router. Using a
stacking clip and fastener, you can stack each device directly on top of another
device.
Note The Cisco 815 integrated services router is not shipped with the stacking
equipment described in this section; however, the equipment is included with all
other Cisco products that are designed to be stacked.
Other Cisco products designed to be stacked with the router comes with a stacking
clip and a fastener for keeping the multiple devicestogether in a stack. Before you
stack the devices, assemble the clip and fastener as shown in Figure 2-5.
