Physical Installation - Plug in the power supply and connect the power to the Cisco router.
- Plug one end of the yellow ethernet cable into the port marked ENET on the back of the Cisco, plug the other end into your computer's ethernet adapter.
- The management cable is blue, has an RJ-45 connector on one end and a DB9 serial connector on the other end. The RJ-45 connector looks like an enlarged phone plug. Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into the MGMT port on the back of the Cisco. Attach the DB9 end of the cable to the serial port on the back of your computer.
- The long eleven foot phone cord is your ADSL cable, and should be lavender in color. Plug one end into the WALL port on the back of the Cisco and the other end directly into your phone jack on the wall. Run the line directly from the wall to the Cisco, the line must not be plugged into anything other than the Cisco and the wall. Splitters, answering machines, surge protectors, fax machines, etc., will interfere with the operation of your DSL line.
- The last port on the Cisco marked PHONE can be used to plug in a regular telephone, modem or fax machine.
Verify Connectivity - Make sure that the PWR/ALARM LED is lit and green on the Cisco. If the PWR/ALARM LED is red, unplug the Cisco, wait 10 minutes, then plug it back in. If the light stays red and does not turn green, call our office for additional assistance.
- Make sure the LAN-LNK LED is lit and steady. If it isn't, double check the connection between the ENET port on the Cisco and your computer's ethernet port.
- Make sure the WAN-LNK LED is lit and steady. If it isn't, double check the telephone line connection between the Cisco an the wall. If the WAN-LNK light does not stay a steady green color, the Cisco is not receiving an ADSL signal from your phone line, call our office for additional assistance.
Connect to the Cisco - Click on the Windows Start button, then choose Run. In the dialog box, type in hypertrm and click OK. If you recieve an error when starting Hyperterminal, it likely has not been installed on your computer. The following steps will install Hyperterminal on your computer. Once Hyperterminal is installed, repeat this step.

- From the white Hyperterminal screen, press the Enter key on your keyboard. The Cisco should present a Password: or a cbos> prompt. If nothing appears on the screen, press Enter a few more times. If neither prompt appears, unplug the power to your Cisco, wait about 5 seconds, and plug the Cisco back in. If nothing appears on your screen after power cycling your Cisco, then verify that you have selected the correct COM port. To change the COM port, click on File and choose Properties. Select the next COM port in the list and click on OK. Repeat this for each of the COM ports listed until you are presented with a prompt from the Cisco. If after having tried all of the listed COM ports, and the Cisco still does not provide a prompt, call our office for additional assistance.

If you have a Cisco 678 and your DSL line was installed after June 14th, 2001, you must also issue the following commands. Before entering these commands, disconnect the telephone line and ethernet cable from your Cisco -- only the management and power cables should be connected. After entering the commands, reconnect the telephone line and ethernet cable.- cbos# set interface wan0-0 close [Enter]
The result from this command may tell you that it is unable to close the port. This is normal and you may proceed to the next two commands. If either of the next two commands reports an error, re-issue the close command and try again. - cbos# set interface wan0-0 vpi 0 [Enter]
- cbos# set interface wan0-0 vci 32 [Enter]
- cbos# set interface wan0-0 open [Enter]
This command may tell you that it is unable to open the port. This is harmless, and you may proceed with reconnecting the telephone line and ethernet cables and move to the next configuration steps.

You will find this in the Welcome letter that was sent to you when you created your account on Avvanta. - cbos# set ppp wan0-0 login Your_Username [Enter]
In the next command, substitute Your_Password with your Avvanta account password. This is the same password used for email. - cbos# set ppp wan0-0 password Your_Password [Enter]

- cbos# set web disabled [Enter]
In the next commands, Executive_Password and Enable_Password are new passwords that you make up that are used to protect your Cisco from unauthorized access. The Executive password is used for initial access to your Cisco, and the Enable password is required to make changes to your Cisco's configuration. IMPORTANT: Do not forget these passwords. If you lose either of these passwords you will be unable to access or reconfigure your router. For home customers, we recommend that you write the password on a slip of paper and tape it to the underside of the Cisco for safe keeping. The passwords are not intended to protect the Cisco from those that have physical access to the device, it is used to protect the Cisco from the rest of the Internet. - cbos# set password exec Executive_Password [Enter]
- cbos# set password enable Enable_Password [Enter]
- cbos# write [Enter]
