Perform the following steps to connect the Cisco 837 router's console port to an
async modem:
Connect the RJ-45 end of the SOHO/800 Series Router Modem Cable to the
Cisco 837 router's console port.
Connect the DB-25 connector at the other end of the SOHO/800 Series Router
Modem Cable to an available port on the async modem.
Connect one end of the RJ-11 cable to the wall jack.
Connect the other end of the RJ-11 cable to the telephone line.
Use the LEDs on the front of the router to check the links between the router and
any attached Ethernet devices or telephones. See
the link status of devices attached to Cisco 837 and SOHO 97 routers.
When you finish installing the router, you must configure the router software.
First, check the PC configurations to ensure that all the connected PCs will be able
to communicate with the router. Then configure the router software, using the web
interface.
Each PC that is connected to the router must be configured to use TCP/IP and to
obtain its IP address automatically. Follow these steps to configure each PC that
is running Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 95 or 98. If the PC is
running a different version of Microsoft Windows, refer to the documentation that
came with the PC.
Start the PC, and open the Control Panel.
