Connecting Fast Ethernet HWICs to a Network

To connect a Fast Ethernet HWIC to the network, do the following procedure:

Confirm that the router is powered down.

Step 1

Warning

To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,

connect the HWIC-1FE and HWIC-2FE interface cards only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or

cable. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The

intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to

interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as

intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and

require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient

protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Insert the Fast Ethernet HWIC into an HWIC slot on the router. (See

Step 2

Cards in Cisco Access

Insert Fast Ethernet HWICs into HWIC slots only. They do not fit into WIC/VIC slots.

Note

Using the appropriate cables, connect the HWIC to your system.

Step 3

To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,

Caution

connect the 1-port HWIC (HWIC-1FE) and 2-port HWIC (HWIC-2FE) only to intrabuilding or

nonexposed wiring or cabling.

Step 4

Power up the router.
