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

LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF
DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL CISCO OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO DATA ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS MANUAL, EVEN IF CISCO

recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service
request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.
(S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)
Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business
operations running smoothly.

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)—Your 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 operation 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.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but 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.

Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.
Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
Before working on a system that has a standby/off switch, turn the power to standby and unplug the
power cord.
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.
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network
voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some
LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Chapter 2 Installation
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies of different
electrostatic potentials, such as an operator and a piece of electrical equipment. It occurs when electronic
components are improperly handled, and it can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur with the combination of synthetic fibers and dry
atmosphere.
Always use the following ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components:
Step 1Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.
CautionTo properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
Always observe the warnings in the preceding section, “Safety.”
Step 2Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports that do not have a cable
attached.
If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch the exposed pins at the unconnected end of the
cable.
Preparing for Installation
NoteThis device is intended for use in residential and commercial environments only.
CautionPeriodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10
megohms (Mohms).
Unpacking the Box
Table 2-1 lists the items that come with your router. All these items are in the accessory kit that is inside
the box that your router came in. If any of the items is missing or damaged, contact your customer service
representative.

the telephone cable to connect each device (this cable is usually provided with the device).
Step 4If you plan to configure the software using a terminal or PC connected to the router, provide the terminal
or PC.
Step 5If you plan to use the cable lock feature available on the Cisco 827, SOHO 77, and Cisco 827-4V routers,
you must provide a Kensington or equivalent locking cable.
Chapter 2 Installation
Preventing Router Damage
Follow these guidelines when connecting devices to your router:
• Connect the color-coded cables supplied by Cisco Systems to the color-coded ports on the back
panel.
• If you must supply your own cable, see Appendix A, “Specifications and Cables,” for cabling
specifications. If this appendix does not provide specifications for a particular cable, we strongly
recommend ordering the cable from Cisco Systems.
• If the symbol of suitability ( ) appears above a port, you can connect the port directly to a public
network that follows the European Union standards.
Warning

The gray phone ports are RJ-11 connectors. If you are outside North America, you must buy and attach
adapters that allow telephones or fax machines to be connected to these RJ-11 connectors. In some
countries, these adapters need additional electronics so that the telephones or fax machines will work
properly with the router phone ports. For example, in the United Kingdom, you must buy an adapter that
also provides a master socket, which causes incoming calls to ring the connected devices. For
information on recommended master sockets, see Tabl e 2-4 .

1. Check that the OK LED on the router is on, and check the cable connection between the router and
the PC. Be sure that the TO HUB/TO PC button is in the correct position. The button is in the correct
position if the LED for the port on the front of the router is on.
2. If the CRWS home page still does not appear, verify that the web browser’s “work offline” option
is disabled.
3. If the web page still does not appear, verify that your PC is automatically configured to receive an
IP address. Follow the instructions in the Cisco Router Web Setup Troubleshooting Guide, which is
available on the Cisco 800 and SOHO Series Product Documentation CD.
4. If the PC is configured to automatically receive an IP address, but the web page still does not appear,
select Start/Run, type winipcfg in the Run window, and examine the address in the IP address field.
The address should be in the format 10.10.10.X, in which X is a number that is equal or greater than
2; for example, 10.10.10.2, or 10.10.10.3. If the IP address is not in this format, verify that an
Ethernet adapter name is visible in the Adapter field. If there is no name in the field, return to Step 3
in “Checking the PC Configuration," add TCP to the list of protocols. Then return to “Using Cisco
Router Web Setup to Configure the Router, page 2-16," and complete the procedure.
Step 4If you have no special configuration requirements, click the Router Setup link on the home page, and
then click Easy Setup. (This may appear as Quick Setup on some models.) Then, enter the user name
and password provided to you by your Internet service provider, and click Apply.
Step 5If you need to configure special features such as Network Address Translation (NAT), click the
appropriate links on the home page, and complete the configuration screens.
Step 6Click the Password link on the home page, and set a password for the router.
Step 7Click the Tes t Co n nec t ion link on the home page, and allow the connection to be tested.
Step 8Select Start/Run, and type winipcfg in the Open field of the Run window. When the IP Config window
appears, click Release to release the PC’s IP address. Then click Renew to renew the PC’s IP address.
Alternatively, open the Run window and enter ipconfig /release to release the PC’s IP address.Then
enter ipconfig /renew to renew the IP address of the PC.
Step 9Open a web browser on the PC, and connect to a website.
The router installation is complete when you have connected to a website.
