–
Two number-10 wood screws (round- or pan-head) with number-10 washers, or two number-10

at least 3/4 in. (20 mm) into the supporting wood or metal wall stud.
–
Two number-10 wall anchors with washers, for mounting the router on a hollow-wall.
• Wire crimper for chassis grounding.
• Wire for connecting the chassis to an earth ground:
–
AWG 14 (2 mm

–
AWG 18 (1 mm
2
) or larger wire for EN/IEC 60950–compliant chassis grounding.
• Ring terminal with an inner diameter of 1/4 in. (5 to 7 mm), for NEC-compliant chassis grounding.
• Ethernet cables for connecting to the Fast Ethernet (FE) WAN and LAN ports.
Connections
Obtain a broadband or Ethernet connection from your service provider.
Ethernet Devices
Identify the Ethernet devices that you will connect to the router: hub, servers, and workstations or PCs.
Ensure that each device has a network interface card (NIC) for connecting to Ethernet ports.
• If you plan to configure the software using Cisco IOS commands through the console port, provide
an ASCII terminal or a PC that is running terminal emulation software to connect to the console port.
• If you plan to connect a modem, provide the modem and modem cable.
• If you plan to use the Data BRI port, provide an NT1 device and an ISDN S/T cable.
