Safety Information
Warning See the Cisco MC3810 Series
Multiservice Access Concentrators
Hardware Installation Guide for safety
information you need to know before
working on the Cisco MC3810.
Desktop Installation
Caution If you place the Cisco MC3810
on a desktop, do not place anything that
weighs more than 10 pounds
(4.5 kilograms) on top of the chassis.
Caution Do not remove the rubber feet.
They provide a space for air circulation.
Rack-Mounting the Chassis
Step 1 Choose one of the methods shown in the
above figure, and attach the mounting
brackets as shown.
Note: Brackets are included. Screws are included
for attaching the brackets to the chassis, but not for
installing the chassis in a rack. You need four
additional screws to install the chassis in a rack.
Step 2 Install the chassis in the rack.

the figure above.
Step 2 Attach the chassis to the wall.
• Positiontheendnearestthepower cable
at the top
• Align screws with a wall stud, or use
wall anchors
Note: Screws for attaching the chassis to a wall are
not included. You need to provide four screws
suitable for your wall installation.
Caution Do not remove the rubber feet.
They provide a space for air circulation.

Identifying Cable Types
8-Conductor Rollover Cable
Hold the connectors side-by-side, with the tab at the
back. The colored wires are in the opposite sequence
atoppositeendsof thecable. Ifyourcablecamefrom
Cisco Systems, pin 1 is white on one plug, and pin 8
is white on the opposite plug. (A rollover cable
reverses the wire connections at the opposite ends:
1to8,2to7,3to6,4to5,5to4,6to3,7to2,and
8 to 1.)
8-Conductor Straight-Through Cable
Hold the connectors side-by-side, with the tab at the
back. The colored wires are in the same sequence at
opposite ends of the cable. (A straight-through cable
connectslike-numbered pinsatoppositeends: 1 to1,
2to2,3to3,4to4,5to5,6to6,7to7,and8to8.)

Connecting the T1/E1 Trunk
Port to the Network
If you are using a T1/E1 network interface, connect
the T1/E1 trunk port to a network demarcation
device.
If the trunk port has an RJ-48 jack, use an RJ-48
straight-through cable (not included), or a special
cable if required for your application.
If the trunk port has BNC connectors, use two
75-ohm coaxial cables with BNC connectors (not
included).
Note: The T1/E1 trunk port, when present, has a
built-in CSU/DSU for connection to a service
provider’s network interface.
Step 1 For an RJ-48 cable—Connect one end of
the cable to the RJ-48 jack labeled T1/E1
on a light-green background.
For coaxial cables—Connect one end of
the cables to the BNC connectors labeled
E1 on a light-green background.
Note: Be sure to make the correct transmit and
receive connections for both 75-ohm cables.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable(s) to
the network demarcation device (telco
demarc or equivalent).

If your Cisco MC3810 has a T1/E1 digital voice
port, connect it to a digital PBX.
If the digital voice port has an RJ-48 jack, use an
RJ-48-to-RJ-48 rollover cable (not included), or a
special cable if required for your application.
If the digital voice port has BNC connectors, use two
75-ohm coaxial cables with BNC connectors (not
included).
Note: For an RJ-48 connection to most PBXs, a
rollover cable is required. However, some PBXs may
have a connector pinout for a straight-through cable.
Step 1 For an RJ-48 cable—Connect one end of
the cable to the RJ-48 jack labeled T1/E1
on a tan background.
For coaxial cables—Connect one end of
the cables to the BNC connectors labeled

If your Cisco MC3810 has BRI S/T voice ports,
connect them to a Private Integrated Services
Network Exchange (PINX).
TheBRI voice ports arewired asterminal equipment
(TE).
• If the PINX ports are wired as network
termination (NT), use 8-conductor
straight-through cables (not included).
• If the PINX ports are wired as TE, use
8-conductor rollover cables (not included).
Note: The BRI voice ports are physically wired as
TE. However, they can be software-configured to
function as either TE or NT.
Step 1 Connect one end of each cable to the
appropriateBRI S/T voice port onthe BRI
voice module (BVM). Ports are labeled
BRI 1 through BRI 4 on an orange
background.
Step 2 Connect the other end of each cable to the
appropriate port on the PINX.
Note: BRI ports on the Cisco MC3810 do not
require external power from the PINX when in TE
mode and do not supply power to external devices
when in NT mode.

For the dialing interface, use an RS-366 cable with
one 26-pin connector and one DB-25 connector
(included with VDM).
Forthevideo data connection, use a CiscoV.35DCE
serial transition cable with ringing indicator (RI)
(included with VDM).
Note: For video conferencing, you must also set up
a WAN connection through the T1/E1 trunk port.
See the “Connecting the T1/E1 Trunk Port to the
Network” section on page 5.
Step 1 Connect the 60-pin connector of the V.35
serial cable to the Cisco MC3810 serial
port to be used for this interface.
Note: Both serial ports are dark blue.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the V.35 serial
cable to the video data port of the video
codec.

Power Up the Cisco MC3810
Checklist for Power-Up
You are ready to power up the Cisco MC3810 if it meets these requirements:
• Securely mounted
• Power connected; Cisco RPS powered on, if used as the power source
• Interface cables connected
Power-Up Procedure
Perform this procedure to power up your Cisco MC3810 and verify that it goes through its initialization and
self-test. When this is finished, the Cisco MC3810 will be ready to configure.
Step 1 Power up your terminal or PC, and configure it for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
Step 2 Move the Cisco MC3810 power switch to the ON position.
The green LED next to the auxiliary port should go on and the fan should operate. If this does not
happen, see the power-up procedure in the Cisco MC3810 Series Multiservice Access Concentrators
Hardware Installation Guide.
The following message is displayed at the end of the boot-up messages.
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
Note: If the rommon 1> prompt appears, your system has booted in ROM monitor mode. Follow the
instructions in the appendix, “Booting in ROM Monitor Mode,” in the Cisco MC3810 Multiservice Access
Concentrators Software Configuration Guide before continuing with this procedure.
Continue to Section 5, “Perform Initial Configuration.”

18
Perform Initial Configuration
This section shows how to perform some basic configurations from a local or remote console, using the Cisco
command-line interface. For complete configuration procedures, see the Cisco MC3810 Series Multiservice
Access Concentrators Software Configuration Guide.
Setting the Ethernet Port IP Address
Connect the Ethernet port (yellow) to a live Ethernet connection using a standard Ethernet cable with RJ-45
connectors; then use this procedure to set an IP address for the Ethernet port. After the Ethernet port has an IP
address, you can configure the Cisco MC3810 remotely through a Telnet connection.
The starting point for this procedure is the System Configuration Dialog prompt (shown also on page 16):
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
To set the Ethernet port IP address, do the following:
Step Command Purpose
1Would you like to enter the initial
configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no Terminate the System Configuration Dialog.
2Press Return when you see the following prompt:
Would you like to terminate
