Installing a Network Module
Use this procedure, if required, to install an 8- or
16-port analog modem network module in a
Cisco 2610 router.
Look for a network module in the slot labeled 1 on
the left-rear of the router. If there is an analog
modem network module already installed, continue
to cable the router as described in this guide.
If you need to install an analog modem network
module, follow this procedure:
1Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws
that hold the metal plate over the network
module slot cover and remove the metal
covering plate.
2Holdthenetworkmodule by the handle and line
the module up with the guides on either side of
the slot.
3Push the module into place until the edge
connector is securely seated in the connector on
the motherboard. Ensure that each of the
module’scaptivescrewsline upwiththeirholein
the chassis.
4Secure the captive mounting screws into the
holes of the chassis using a Phillips screwdriver.

5
Connect the Ethernet Cable
Position the router so you can reach the rear panel.
The cables and the router’s ports are color-coded to
help you make the right connections.
1Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable
into the yellow Ethernet 10BaseT (RJ-45) port
labeled ETHERNET 0/0 on the rear panel of
your router.
2Connect the other end of the yellow Ethernet
cable into any available port on your 10BaseT
hub or switch (not included).
3Make sure a PC (running Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows 95) is connected to the Ethernet LAN.
You will use this computer in the procedure on
page 9 to run Cisco Fast Step software to
configure the router.

Connect the Modem Cables
The Cisco 2610 router comes with an 8- or 16-port
internal analog modem module. Use these ports to
connect up to 16 modems.
1Connectone endofthe pinkmodemcable toone
of the numbered modem ports (also pink) on the
router’s rear panel.
2Connect the other end of the pink modem cable
to an RJ-11 telephone wall jack or an RJ-11
outlet in your wiring closet.
Timesaver Start by connecting only one
modem. After you have configured the
router settings for this modem and
completed the procedure on page 9
successfully, connect and set up the
remaining modems.

If you followed the suggestion, in the Timesaver
section on this page, and only connected one cable,
you will have to connect the remaining modem
cables after you configure and test the router. See
page 10, for information on how to finish the
cabling.

power connector on the router’s rear panel.
2Connect the other end of the power cord to an
electrical outlet.
3Turn ON the power switch on the rear panel.
ThegreenPower LEDontherouter’s frontpanel
blinks, as the router initializes, then stays on
when fully initialized. (It might take a moment
before this light goes on.)
4Perform a quick visual inspection to ensure the
following:
—Therouterispluggedin,thepoweristurned
on, and the Power LED on the front panel
displays a solid green light. (If not, you
cannot install the Cisco Fast Step software.)
—The link LED (labeled LNK) next to the
Ethernetport,displays asolidgreenlight.(If
this is not a solid light, check your cabling.)
—Each modem port you are currently setting
up has a pink modem cable connected to it.
—Each pink modem cable connected to a
modem port is also connected to an RJ-11
telephone wall jack or outlet.
You are now finished cabling the router and one or
more modems. The next section explains how to run
Cisco Fast Step software so you can use the router in
your network.

1InserttheCiscoFastStepCD-ROM(attachedto
inside back cover of this guide) into the
CD-ROM drive of the local PC to which you
connected the LAN on page 5.
2The Fast Step install program starts Setup.exe
automatically. If it does not, follow these steps:
(a) Double-click the My Computer icon.
(b) Double-click the CD icon.
(c) Double-click the Setup.exe icon.
The install program prompts you for the
information it needs to install Cisco Fast Step,
then copies the software onto your hard drive.
Timesaver Cisco Fast Step software
prompts you for network information
according to the routing protocols you
select. Before you run the software, make
sureyouhavethisinformationavailableor
know where to get it (usually from the
network administrator).
For your convenience, a form prompting
you for setup information is on page 11.

Set Up the Router
Using Fast Step
Once installed, the Cisco Fast Step Setup program
starts automatically. Follow the onscreen
instructions to guide you through configuring and
testing the router.
Verify Connectivity
Performthis testtoverifythemodemconnectionand
the router configuration are good. This section
assumestheremote PCyouareusingfor thetestruns
Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95.
1Double-click the My Computer icon on the
desktop of the remote PC.
2Double-click the Dial-Up Networking folder. (If
youdo not find this folder, refer to the Microsoft
documentation to install the software.)
3Double-click the Make New Connection icon.
4Follow the onscreen instructions to create and
name a new connection icon to test the modem
connection and the router configuration. When
prompted for the area code and telephone
number, enter the appropriate number of the
modem you are testing.
5Double-click the new connection icon you
created in Step 4 and enter the username and
password (as defined when setting up Fast Step).
Verify that the telephone number is the correct
number for the modem you are testing.
6Go to page 10 to connect the remaining modem
cables, if necessary.

10
Thissection applies only if your areconnecting more
than one modem.
If you connected one modem in the procedure on
page 7, you are now ready to cable the rest of your
modems. How you do this depends on the way you
organize your workspace and your own personal
preferences.
The following suggested procedure helps you
simplify the job by keeping the connections neat and
orderly and by providing a reliable process.
1Make sure you can reach the router’s rear panel.
2Pick up a pink modem cable and connect one
end into one modem port (also pink) of the
access server.
3Repeat Step 2 with the remaining pink modem
cables.
4Connect the other end of each of the pink
modem cables from Step 3 into an RJ-11 wall
jack or into an RJ-11 outlet in your wiring
closet.
5Tie-wrap your cable bundles.
6To help with maintenance and troubleshooting,
write down the access server port number and
telephone wall jack for each modem. Keep this
record in a safe place.
