Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power
source.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
Caution Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds
(4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top of the router could damage the chassis.
Connecting the Router to Your Local Network
The Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers are connected to your
local Ethernet network through the yellow 10/100 Ethernet port. You must
provide the following items for this connection:
•A straight-through, RJ-45-to-RJ-45, Ethernet cable
•A 10/100-Mbps Ethernet hub or switch
Warning The ports labeled 10/100 ETHERNET and CONSOLE are safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits.
Because BRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid
connecting the SELV circuits to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.
(To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance
and Safety Information for Cisco 1700 Routers document that came with the
router.)
Caution Always connect the Ethernet cable to the yellow ports on the router. Do not
connect the cable to an ISDN S/T or U port (on a WIC) or to an NT-1 that is
connected to a WIC. Accidentally connecting the cable to the wrong port can
damage your router.

Chapter 2 Installation
Connecting Power to the Router
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to a port on the hub, switch, or the Ethernet
port on your computer.
Note The example provided in Figure 2-3 on page 2-6 shows connectivity to
a hub. The router’s Ethernet switch port can be connected to other
networked devices, such as a switch or computer with a NIC. If you are
connecting the router’s switch port to another switch, use a crossover
cable.
Note If you are connecting a computer to the router’s switch port, it will take about
30 seconds for connectivity to be established due to the Spanning-Tree Protocol
(STP) disabling the ports until a loop-free topology is determined. When you use
this type of connection, you must configure the spanning-tree portfast command
on the router’s switch port. The spanning-tree portfast command causes a
spanning tree port to enter the forwarding state immediately, bypassing the
listening and learning states.
Caution You can use the portfast feature on switch ports that are connected to a single
workstation or PC only to allow those devices to connect to the network
immediately, rather than waiting for spanning tree to converge. Do not use the
portfast feature on ports that are connected to networking devices such as hubs,
routers, switches, bridges, or concentrators.
Connecting Power to the Router
Read the following warnings before connecting the router to power.
Warning The power supply is designed to work with TN power systems.

using two number six, 3/4-inch screws and the molded mounting brackets on the
bottom of the hub, as shown in Figure 2-7. You must provide the screws. We
recommend using pan-head or round-head screws.
Figure 2-7 Wall-Mount Brackets—Bottom of Router
To mount the router on a wall or other surface:
Step 1 Install the two screws 3.75 inches (9.52 centimeters) horizontally apart on a wall
or other vertical surface.
The screws should protrude 0.25 inch (0.64 centimeter) from the surface of the
wall.

Optional Installation Steps
Step 2 Hang the router on the screws with either the left side or right side mounting
brackets so that
•The LEDs are visible to the user—Because the LEDs indicate the router
operating status, they need to be easily visible.
•The power supply does not hang from its cable—If the power supply is not
supported, it might disconnect from the cable that connects it to the router.
Caution If you install the screws in drywall, use hollow-wall anchors (1/8 inch
by 5/16 inch) to secure the screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the
strain of the cables connected to the router rear-panel connectors could pull the
router from the wall.
Stacking the Router
You can stack one Cisco 1711 Security Access router and/or one Cisco 1712
Security Access router in a four-device stack, along with other Cisco products
designed to be stacked with the router. You can stack each device directly on top
of another device.
Note The Cisco 1711 and Cisco 1712 Security Access routers are not shipped with the
stacking equipment described in this section; however, the equipment is included
with all other Cisco products that are designed to be stacked.
Each Cisco product designed to be stacked with the router comes with a stacking
clip and a fastener for keeping the multiple devices together in a stack. Before you
stack the devices, assemble the clip and fastener as shown in Figure 2-8 on
page 2-16.
