Configuring the ADSL Interface
Note If you are connecting a Cisco 1700 series router with an ADSL WIC to an RJ-11 wall jack that has
the ADSL pair wired for pins 2 and 5, you must use the lavender crossover cable with the blue stripe.
The crossover cable is orderable as a spare.
The following steps tell how to connect the card, using the standard lavender RJ-11 cable; the steps also
apply to the lavender crossover cable with the blue stripe.
Step 1 Confirm that router power is still turned off.
Step 2 Connect one end of the cable (RJ-11) to the ADSL port on the card.
Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to the wall jack (RJ-11) at your site, as shown in Figure 6.

Step 4
Turn on power to the router.
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
Step 5 To connect the card to the network, you must configure the ADSL card in the router to the no shutdown
state. Enter the no shut command in the router configuration. Verify that the CD LED comes on,
indicating that the card is connected to the network.
Configuring the ADSL Interface
Whenever you install a new WIC, or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you
must configure the interface. If you replace a card that was already configured, the router recognizes it
and brings up the interface in the existing configuration.
Before you configure an interface, have the following information available:
• Protocols you plan to route on the new interface
• IP addresses, subnet masks, network numbers, zones, virtual path identifier/virtual channel
identifier (VPI/VCI) number(s), or other information related to the routing protocol
