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.

Figure 1-15, Figure 1-16, and Figure 1-17 show the features available on the Cisco 881-V and
Cisco 887VA-V routers. The features available vary, depending on the router model. Some features may
not be available on your router.
The Cisco 881-V and Cisco 887VA-V voice and data series gives you the flexibility to use either FXS
or BRI voice ports. However, the number of concurrent calls that can be supported by the router is limited
by the codec complexity setting on the router. Table 1-7 lists the maximum number of calls that is
supported when the codec complexity command is configured for Flexible, Medium or High complexity.

Note

Configuring the codec complexity setting to support secure calls uses DSP resources, but does not affect
the maximum number of supported calls.

Cisco 880 Series with Embedded WLAN Antennas
Some Cisco 880W, 880WD, and 880-WD ISRs have three embedded WLAN antennas.
These ISRs are fixed-platform routers that:
•

Provide integrated VPN, embedded Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™, 802.11b/g/n-compliant wireless AP, and
backup capabilities.

•

Use single-band (2.4 GHz) WLAN cards or dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) WLAN cards.

•

Require a single external power supply: a 30-W power supply for non-POE-enabled routers or a
60-W power supply for POE-enabled routers.

•

Have a fixed 512 MB of system memory.

For information on configuring the Cisco 880 series ISRs, see Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services
Router Software Configuration Guide.

Feature Summary

Kensington Lock
A Kensington security slot is located on the router back panel. To secure the router to a desktop or other
surface, use the Kensington lockdown equipment.

Reset Button
The Reset button is used to restore the router to the factory default configuration or to load a custom
configuration file.
There are two different ways to do this:

Note

1.

by pressing the Reset button within 5 seconds of powering up the router; or

2.

by pressing the Reset button for 5 seconds while running IOS.

If you execute a CLI reboot command while the embedded wireless AP is running Cisco Unified IOS
software, the router reboots, but the AP continues running. Clients with Cisco Unified IOS software are
controlled by a wireless LAN controller (WLC) and can be reset only by the controller.

Cisco 860VAE Routers—Custom Configuration File
On Cisco 860VAE routers, the reset button can be used to load a custom configuration file without having
to use the CLI. The configuration file can be located on an external USB flash drive or on the router's
compact flash.

OL-16215-11

Chapter 1

Product Overview
Hardware Features

The custom configuration file must be named one of the following:
•

customer-config

•

SN-customer-config
where “SN” is the unique hardware serial number.

When the system attempts to load a custom configuration file, configuration files on a USB flash drive
have priority over configuration files on the router's flash drive and the “SN-customer-config” file name
has priority over the “customer-config” file name. The priority for loading a configuration file is as
follows:
1.

USB flash0: SN-customer-config

2.

USB flash0: customer-config

3.

Router flash: SN-customer-config

4.

Router flash: customer-config

If the router does not find a valid custom configuration file, the system aborts the process.
To reset the router to the factory default configuration, follow these steps:
Step 1

Verify that IOS is running correctly by checking that the system status LED is on.

Step 2

Press and hold the Reset button until the system status LED begins to flash. Typically, this occurs within
5 seconds.
The router reloads itself after the startup configuration has been replaced with the new customer
configuration.

Custom Configuration File for Cisco 892FSP, 896VA, 897VA, and Cisco 898EA
For the first method, the configuration file can be located on the router's compact flash or on the router's
nvram. The custom configuration file must use cfg as the filename extension.
When the system attempts to load a custom configuration file, configuration files on nvram have priority
over configuration files on the router's compact flash.
The priority for loading a configuration file is as follows:
1.

nvram: *.cfg

2.

Router flash: *.cfg

If the router does not find a valid custom configuration file, the system aborts the process.

customer-config

•

customer-config.SN ?
where "SN" is the unique hardware serial number.

When the system attempts to load a custom configuration file, configuration files on a USB flash drive
have priority over configuration files on the router's flash drive and the "customer-config.SN" file name
has priority over the customer-config file name.
The priority for loading a configuration file is as follows:
1.

usbflash0:customer-config.SN

2.

usbflash0:customer-config

3.

Router flash:customer-config.SN

4.

Router flash:customer-config

If the router does not find a valid custom configuration file, the system aborts the process.
To reset the router to the factory default configuration or to load a custom configuration file, follow these
steps:
Step 1

Verify that IOS is running correctly by checking that the system status LED is on.

Step 2

Press and hold the Reset button until the system status LED begins to flash. Typically, this occurs within
5 seconds.
The router reloads itself after the startup configuration has been replaced with the new customer
configuration.

Because the LED indicators are shared, the LED illuminates (green) when either port is active. For
example, the LED indicator labeled BRI 1 B1 illuminates when either the BRI1 B1 channel is active or
when the FXS port is active. You can determine the activity status on each interface by using the
following commands.
•

For activity status on the FXS ports, use the show port summary command.

•

For activity status on the BRI ISDN port, use the show isdn status command.

Fan
Some router models do not have a fan, while other models have either one or two fans.
The fans spin at full speed, as a diagnostic aid, immediately after the router is powered up. After the
router has booted, the fans spin as fast as necessary to minimize fan noise while maintaining a safe
internal operating temperature.
The following models have no fan:
•

Cisco 892FSP

•

Cisco 896VA

•

Cisco 897VA

•

Cisco 898EA

Power Supply
The Cisco 892FSP has a single +12V power supply input. The Cisco 892FSP power connector is
different from the barrel-type connector on other 890 series models. The AC adapter cable connector has
four pins and a built-in locking mechanism. Figure 3-27 shows the power adapter connector.
The Cisco 896VA, 897VA, and Cisco 898EA use PoE (12 VDC 43 W, -54 VDC 80 W) and non-PoE
(12 VDC 60 W) power supplies.

Power over Ethernet Module
The Cisco 880 series ISRs can include an optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) module that provides
power to 802.3af-compliant devices connected to FE ports 0 and 1.
The Cisco 890 series ISRs can include an optional PoE module that provides power to 802.3af-compliant
devices connected to FE ports 0, 1, 2, and 3.
The PoE module is an option available only for the Cisco 880 series and 890 series ISRs and requires a
48 V external power adapter.
This function can be added to an 880 or 890 series router by installing the PoE adapter card in the router
and inserting the PoE 48 V external power adapter.

Note

The Cisco 880 series ISRs with embedded WLAN antennas require a single external power supply: a
30 W power supply for non-POE-enabled routers or a 60 W power supply for POE-enabled routers. For
the back panels of some of these routers, see Figure 1-19 and Figure 1-21.
The following PoE budget is available:
•

C867VAE-POE-W-A-K9: 15.4 W (one port PoE)

•

Cisco 880 series: 30.8 W (2 ports each 15.4 W)

3G Cellular Data WAN Connectivity
The 3G (Evolution Data Only [EVDO], Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems [UMTS])
cellular interface is intended for use as a backup data link, but it can also be used as a primary WAN data
link. The 3G technology is third-generation wide-area cellular technology that is used in voice telephony
and broadband wireless data in a mobile environment.
Some Cisco 880G models come with a 34-mm express card slot ready for use with a commercial 3G card
radio. The 3G express card slot is located on the front panel. For a list of supported 3G cards, see the
Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers Data Sheet.
Other Cisco 880G models come with embedded WAN modems for use over GSM or CDMA networks.
These routers have antenna connectors on the back panel. GSM routers have two SIM card slots. For
information on configuring Cisco 880 series ISRs for 3G, see Configuring Cisco EHWIC and 880G for
3G (EV-DO Rev A) and Configuring Cisco EHWIC and 880G for 3.7G (HSPA+)/3.5G (HSPA).

Step 3

Chassis installation must allow unrestricted airflow for chassis cooling.

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to
ensure your safety:
•

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

•

When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest
component at the bottom of the rack.

•

If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in
the rack. Statement 1006

Using two screws for each side (supplied with the rack), attach the Cisco 890 series ISR with rack-mount
brackets to a 19-inch rack. Start with the lower pair of screws first, resting the brackets on the lower
screws while you insert the upper pair of screws.

Note

Be sure to leave space above and below each unit in a rack to allow for cooling air circulation.

Note

Do not stack equipment directly above the router. Keep at least 1 rack unit of space above the
router.

Tip

The screw slots in the brackets are spaced to line up with every second pair of screw holes in the
rack. When the correct screw holes are used, the small threaded holes in the brackets line up with
unused screw holes in the rack. If the small holes do not line up with the rack holes, you must
raise or lower the brackets to the next rack hole.

Step 4

Place the power adapter on a nearby horizontal surface.

Step 5

Connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground. For the chassis ground connection procedures, see the
“Installing the Router Ground Connection” section on page 2-13.

Antenna orientation can increase or decrease signal reception due to polarization. Typically, an SP’s
transmitting antenna on the BTS is a vertically polarized omnidirectional antenna, which means the
electromagnetic waves are transmitted from it in a vertical plane. Hence, the receiving antenna needs to
be vertically oriented too in order to receive the best signal. As the angle of the antenna orientation is
changed from vertical to horizontal, only an angular component of the signal is picked up by the antenna.
Therefore, if the antenna orientation is horizontal, the antenna picks up the least signal. The signal is
received by the antenna as a result of it bouncing off of reflective surfaces. Hence, depending on where
the antenna is placed, it may receive different signal strengths. However, the recommended position is
vertical.

Connecting a Data BRI Port
You can connect the Data BRI port to the ISDN service provider as a backup link to the WAN port in
case the primary xDSL (general term referring to various forms of DSL, including global industry
standard symmetrical high-speed DSL [G.SHDSL]) WAN service fails. The Data BRI connection is not
available on the third-generation (3G) models.
The cabling requirements for the ISDN S/T connection are as follows:

Caution

•

You must provide two unshielded Category 5 cables. The first cable connects the NT1 box to the
splitter, and the second cable connects the splitter to the wall jack.

•

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.

Both LAN and WAN ports 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 the following procedure shows a Cisco 888W data router, this procedure applies to all
Cisco 880 series router with a Data BRI port.

Connecting a Voice ISDN BRI Line

Note

If you have specified the use of a private line automatic ringdown (PLAR) off-premises extension (OPX)
connection mode for an FXO voice port (with loop resistance less than 8000 Ohm), you must ensure that
the soft-offhook option is enabled on the port.
This option allows a stepped offhook resistance during seizure, which avoids overloading the circuit
during offhook in the event that ringing voltage is present on the circuit at the same time as the trunk
seizure. The stepped offhook resistance is initially set to 800 Ohms, then adjusts to 50 Ohms when
ringing voltage is not present.
To enable the soft-offhook command on the port, and to access the connection command with plar opx
syntax, see the Cisco Command Lookup Tool.

Connecting a Voice ISDN BRI Line
Use a straight-through RJ-45 cable to connect the voice BRI port to the ISDN network through a
telephone outlet or other device.

Caution

To prevent damage to the router, be sure to connect the BRI cable to the BRI connector only and not to
any other RJ-45 connector.
To connect the voice BRI line, follow these steps:

Step 1

Connect one end of a straight-through RJ-45–to–RJ-45 cable to the Voice BRI port.

Note

When the interface is configured as NT and is connecting to a TE device, use a crossover cable.

Initial Configuration
This chapter provides instructions for initial configuration of the Cisco 860 series, 880 series, and 890
series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs). For the initial configuration, we recommend using
Cisco Configuration Professional (CP) Express. Cisco CP Express is a web-based graphical user
interface that guides you through initial configuration.
You may also initially configure your router by using the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) or by
using the setup command facility. To create the initial configuration, the setup command facility prompts
you for basic information about your router and network.
This chapter contains the following sections:

Note

•

Cisco Configuration Professional Express, page 4-1

•

Cisco IOS CLI, page 4-1

•

Setup Command Facility, page 4-3

•

Verifying the Initial Configuration, page 4-5

•

Initial Configuration of the Wireless Access Point, page 4-6

Some SKUs may not include a default configuration file. If your router does not have a default
configuration file, go to the “Setup Command Facility” section on page 3 to configure the initial router
settings.

Cisco Configuration Professional Express
After you connect the cables and power up the router, we recommend that you use the Cisco CP Express
web-based application to configure the initial router settings.
For instructions on how to use Cisco CP Express to configure the router see Cisco CP Express User’s
Guide.

Cisco IOS CLI
To configure the initial router settings by using the Cisco IOS CLI, you must set up a console connection.
For instructions on how to set up a console connection, see the “Connecting a Terminal or PC to the
Console Port” section on page 3-9.

Note

Step 7

Save your configuration changes regularly to avoid losing them during resets, power cycles, or
power outages. Use the copy running-config startup-config command at the privileged EXEC
mode prompt (Router#) to save the configuration to NVRAM.

Verify the initial configuration. See the “Verifying the Initial Configuration” section on page 4-5.

Setup Command Facility
The setup command facility guides you through the configuration process by prompting you for the
specific information that is needed to configure your system. Use the setup command facility to
configure a hostname for the router, to set passwords, and to configure an interface for communication
with the management network.
To use the setup command facility, you must set up a console connection with the router and enter the
privileged EXEC mode.

Note

For instructions on how to set up a console connection, see the “Connecting a Terminal or PC to
the Console Port” section on page 3-9.

To configure the initial router settings by using the setup command facility, follow these steps:
Step 1

Set up a console connection to your router, and enter privileged EXEC mode. For instructions on how to
enter privileged EXEC mode, see Step 1 through Step 4 in the “Cisco IOS CLI” section on page 4-1.

Step 2

In privileged EXEC mode, at the prompt, enter setup.
yourname# setup

The following message is displayed:
--- System Configuration Dialog --Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

You are now in the setup command facility.
The prompts in the setup command facility vary, depending on your router model, on the installed
interface modules, and on the software image. The following steps and the user entries (in bold) are
shown as examples only.

Note

Step 3

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#). For more information on using the setup command facility, see “The
Setup Command” chapter in Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference,
Release 12.2T.
