To connect the serial card to the WAN, follow these steps:
Step 1 Confirm that the router is turned off.
On the Cisco MWR 1941-DC router, turn off power by turning OFF the DC power source at the circuit
breaker and taping the circuit breaker into the OFF position.
Caution To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the 2-port A/S WAN interface card (WIC-2A/S) only to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or
cabling. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends.
Step 2 (Optional) Connect the surge protection cable to the connector on the card faceplate. (See Figure 35.)
Step 3 (Optional) Connect one end of the appropriate serial cable to the other connector on the surge protector
cable. (See Figure 35.)
