Verify the PC Setup

Before you begin, verify that each computer that will be connected to the router has a network interface
card (NIC) installed and that Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) has been loaded
and configured. For more information on how to configure TCP/IP, refer to the Cisco Router Web Setup
User Guide, which is available on the Cisco 800 and SOHO Series Product Documentation CD, and
refer to information available the Microsoft website.

Connecting Cables to the Router

Connecting a Hub

This section describes how to connect a hub to the router Ethernet 4 port.
The TO HUB/TO PC button identifies the device that you connect to the yellow Ethernet 4 port, using

the yellowEthernet cable. For example, setting the button to the TO HUB position (in) indicates that you
are connecting a hub; setting the button to the TO PC position (out) indicates that you are connecting a
server, PC, or workstation. For information on how the settings of this button on a hub can affect the
setting of this router, refer to the Cisco 828 Router and SOHO 78 Router Hardware Installation Guide.

You can use the yellow Ethernet cable to connect a server, PC, or workstation to any of the four Ethernet
ports. However, if you want to connect a hub to a port other than the ETHERNET 4 port, you must use
a crossover cable, which is not included with the router.

To connect a hub to the router, follow the steps in Figure 2.

Warning

The device is designed to work with TN power systems.

This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent)
protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S.
(240 VAC, 16A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying
conductors).

This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth
ground during normal use.

Set Up the Router to Access the Network

The Cisco Router Web Setup (CRWS) software is already loaded on the Cisco 828 router or SOHO 78
router. You can use CRWS to configure the Cisco 828 router and the SOHO 78 router. If you purchased
your router through an Internet service provider (ISP), it is possible that your router has been configured
for use at your site. If you know this is not the case, or if you have purchased Cisco IOS software for the
router since installing it, we recommend that you use CRWS to configure the router.

Step 1 Log on to one of the PCs connected to the router through Ethernet port 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Step 2 Open a web browser.
Step 3 Type in the following universal resource locator (URL):

http://10.10.10.1

Step 4 Click the Router Setup link in the Cisco Router Web Setup home page, and follow the instructions that

appear in the page that is displayed.

Step 5 If the web page does not appear when you enter the URL http://10.10.10.1, test the connection between

the PC and the router by doing the following:

a. Check that the OK LED on the router is on, and check the cable connection between the router and

the PC. If the PC you are using is connected to Ethernet port number 4, be sure that the TO HUB/TO
PC button is in the TO PC position.

b. If the web page still does not appear, verify that your PC is automatically configured to receive an

IP address, by following the instructions in Cisco Router Web Setup User Guide, which is available
on the Cisco 800 and SOHO Series Product Documentation CD.
