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.

General Safety Guidelines for Wireless Routers

The following are guidelines for the wireless router models:
Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
Do not hold any component containing a radio so that the antenna is very close to or touching any
exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited to the constraints posed by the local
codes, the national codes, and the safety directors of such environments.

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 in the presence of synthetic fibers and dry atmosphere.
Always use the following ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components:
Statement 332
caps or in an explosive
OL-5331-01
Step 1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.
Caution To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
Always follow the warnings and guidelines in this section.
Step 2 Do 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. This device is intended for use in residential and commercial environments only.
Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and
10 megohms (Mohm).

Connecting Antennas to the Wireless Router

Before you mount the router on a table or a wall, connect the antennas to the back panel. It is difficult to attach the antennas after the router has been mounted to a wall.

Mounting on a Table

The router and the PoE module can be mounted on a table or other flat horizontal surface.
To mount the router on a table, firmly place the router on a table. Do not cover or obstruct the router vents, which are located on the router sides.
To mount the PoE module on a table, place the PoE module near the router so that the Ethernet cables on the PoE module can easily connect to the router Ethernet ports.
Caution Do not cover or obstruct the router vents; otherwise, overheating could occur and cause damage to
the router.

Mounting on a Wall

Mounting on a Wall
This section provides information for mounting the router and the PoE module on a wall.

Guidelines for Wall Mounting

You should meet the following guidelines when you mount the router or PoE module on a wall:
Mount the router with the front panel facing upward so that the LEDs are clearly visible.
Mount the router low enough for you to see the LEDs.
Mount the PoE module with the Ethernet cables (To ROUTER side) facing up, and the ports (To
LAN side) facing down.
The Ethernet cables on the PoE module must easily connect to the Ethernet ports on the router.
The power supply must rest on a horizontal surface such as the floor or a table. If the power supply
is not supported, the strain on the power adapter cable could cause it to disconnect from the connector on the router back panel.
Chapter 3 Router and PoE Module Mounting Procedures
Do not install the router, PoE module, or power supplies next to a heat source of any kind, including
heating vents during winter.

Mounting the Router on a Wall

The router can be mounted on a wall by using the molded mounting brackets on the bottom of the router and three number-six, 3/4-in. (M3.5 the mounting brackets.
Caution If you are mounting the router on drywall, use three hollow-wall anchors to secure the three 1/8-in. (M3)
screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the network cable connections could pull the router from the wall. Use the drill bit size that is specified by the hollow-wall anchor manufacturer.

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.
Caution Both LAN and WAN ports can 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).
Although Figure 4-11 shows an ISDN S/T connection for a Cisco 876 router, this connection also applies to a Cisco 878 router.

Initial Configuration Using the Setup Command Facility

For instructions on configuring your router by using SDM, see the Cisco Router and Security Device
Manager (SDM) Quick Start Guide.
Initial Configuration Using the Setup Command Facility
This section describes how to use the setup command facility to configure a hostname for the router, set passwords, and configure an interface for communication with the management network.
If the following messages appear at the end of the startup sequence, the setup command facility has been invoked automatically:
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help. Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
The setup command facility prompts you for basic information about your router and network, and it creates an initial configuration file. After the configuration file is created, you can use the CLI or Security Device Manager to perform additional configuration.
The prompts in the setup command facility vary, depending on your router model, the installed interface modules, and the software image. The following example and the user entries (in
bold) are shown as
examples only.
Note If you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the setup command
facility again. Press Ctrl-C, and enter the setup command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (Router#).

The enable secret is a password used to protect access to privileged EXEC and configuration modes. This password, after entered, becomes encrypted in the configuration. Enter enable secret: xxxxxx
Step 5 Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not
encrypted (less secure) and can be seen when viewing the configuration:
The enable password is used when you do not specify an enable secret password, with some older software versions, and some boot images. Enter enable password: xxxxxx
Step 6 Enter the virtual terminal password, which prevents unauthenticated access to the router through ports
other than the console port:
The virtual terminal password is used to protect access to the router over a network interface. Enter virtual terminal password: xxxxxx
