Preparing for Installation
Before installing the router and connecting devices to the router, perform these tasks:
Step 1
Obtain a broadband or Ethernet connection from your service provider.
Step 2
Remove the cables and product documentation from the plastic bag. Remove the router power adapter
and the black power cord from the accessory kit.
Step 3
If you ordered a wireless router, remove the antennas from the box.
Step 4
If you ordered a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) module, remove the PoE, its power adapter, and its power
cord from the box.
Step 5
Gather the Ethernet devices to be connected to the router: hub, servers, and workstations or PCs. Make
sure that there is a network interface card (NIC) in each device for connection to Ethernet ports.
Step 6
If you plan to configure the software using Cisco IOS commands using the console port, provide an
ASCII terminal or a PC that is running terminal emulation software to connect to the console port.
Step 7
If you plan to connect a modem, provide the modem and modem cable.
