Depending on your local network and on which Cisco WICs and VICs you install
in your router, you might need other items listed in
router installation.
When You Use It
A hub connects pieces of network equipment (including the router)
to create a network. You can use a 10-, 100-, or 10/100-Mbps hub
with the router.
A switch connects pieces of network equipment (including the
router) to create a network. You can use a 10-, 100-, or 10/100-Mbps
switch with the router.
Although the WICs and VICs use thumbscrews, you might need a
Phillips screwdriver to loosen the WIC or VIC covers.
To make a WAN connection, the router must have a supported WIC
installed. The router supports up to two cards. You can either order
the cards when you order the router, and they will be installed for
you, or you can order the cards separately, after you receive the
router, and install them yourself.
To make a voice connection, the router must have a supported VIC
installed. The router supports up to three cards. You can either order
the cards when ordering the router, and they will be installed for
you, or you can order the cards separately, after receiving the router,
and install them yourself. You must install digital signal processors
(DSPs) to use VICs in the router.
This cable connects the router to the Ethernet LAN and the WICs to
various WAN services, including ISDN, T1/FT1, and 56-kbps
services. You will need one cable for each of these connections.
This cable connects the VIC to a telephone, fax machine, or a
telephone wall-jack. You will need one cable for each of these
connections.
This cable connects the VIC to a PBX trunk line. You will need one
cable for each of these connections.
