Table 1-5 Additional Required Equipment
Equipment When You Use It
Ethernet hub A hub connects pieces of network equipment (including the
Cisco 1700 router) to create a network. You can use a 10-, 100-,
or 10/100-Mbps hub with the Cisco 1700 router.
Ethernet switch A switch connects pieces of network equipment (including the
Cisco 1700 router) to create a network. You can use a 10-, 100-,
or 10/100-Mbps switch with the Cisco 1700 router.
Phillips screwdriver Although the WAN interface cards use thumbscrews, you might
need a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the WAN interface card
slot cover.
Cisco WAN interface card In order to make a WAN connection, the Cisco 1700 router must
have a supported WAN interface card installed. The router
supports up to two cards. You can order the cards when ordering
the router, and they will be installed for you. You can order the
cards separately, after receiving the router, and install them
yourself.

order this cable from Cisco. For detailed information about
serial cable types, refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Cards
Hardware Installation Guide that comes with every card.
