To Receive a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) Number
Contact the company from whom you purchased the product. If you purchased the product directly from Cisco, contact your
Cisco Sales and Service Representative.
Complete the information below, and keep it for reference:
Product Serial Number Location
You may need your product serial number when calling the Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
The serial number label for the Cisco 815 integrated services router is located on the back of the chassis, to the right of the
power switch.
Cisco Product Identification Tool
The Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool provides detailed illustrations and descriptions showing where to find serial number
labels on Cisco products. It includes the following features:
•A search option that allows browsing for models using a tree-structured product hierarchy
•A search field on the final results page making it easier to look up multiple products
•Clear identification of end-of-sale products in results lists
The tool streamlines the process of locating serial number labels and identifying products. Serial number information expedites
the entitlement process and is important for access to support services.
The Cisco Product Identification tool can be accessed at the following URL:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/CPI/index.do
Cisco Product Accessibility
This product family leverages a command line interface (CLI). The CLI is 508 conformant since it is text based and relies on a
keyboard for navigation. All functions of the router can be configured and monitored through the CLI.
For a complete list of guidelines and Cisco products adherence to accessibility, see Cisco Accessibility Products at the following

Table 1 Back Panel Connectors
Connector/Slot Label/Color Description
Fast Ethernet port 10/100 ETHERNET (yellow) Connects the router to the local Ethernet network through this
port. This port autosenses the speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and
duplex mode (full- or half-) of the device to which it is connected
and then operates at the same speed and duplex mode.
Auxiliary port AUX (black) Connects to a modem for remote configuration with Cisco IOS
software.
Console port CONSOLE (blue) Connects to a terminal or PC for local configuration using
Cisco IOS software.
WIC-4ESW No label Supports interface card with four 10/100-BASE-TX Ethernet switch
ports. See Figure 4.
HWIC-CABLE-D-2 No label Supports one Cisco cable WIC. See Figure 5.
Table 2 Back Panel LEDs
LED Label Color Description
WIC0 OK Green On when the WIC is correctly installed in the card slot.
Two LEDS are associated with the WIC-4ESW: the right LED labeled LNK and the left
LED labeled ACT. The LNK (physical layer link) LED is on when the Cisco IOS software
recognizes the switch and the connection is up. The ACT (activity) LED indicates that
data is being transmitted or received on the slot.
FDX Green On solid—Ethernet port is operating in full-duplex mode.
Off—Ethernet port is operating in half-duplex mode.
100 Green On solid—Ethernet port is operating at 100 Mbps.
Off—Ethernet port is operating at 10 Mbps.
LINK Green On when the Ethernet link is up.
MOD OK Green On when the VPN hardware encryption module is installed and recognized by the Cisco
IOS software.
WIC1 OK Green On when the WIC is correctly installed in the card slot.
