Table 1-39 describes the LEDs for the Cisco 897VAB-K9 ISR.
1. 1.ADSL and VDSL (up to 17a) single-pair functionality uses the center pair of pins in the RJ-11 connector. VDSL 30a single 
pair functionality makes use of the pins just adjacent to the center pins. VDSL Bonding makes use of both the center pair pins 
& those just adjacent to the center pair to provide the 2 bonded VDSL lines. For more information, see Cisco 890 Series 
Integrated Services Routers Data Sheet.
2. 2.Ports 0 through 3 can be configured as POE, which is an optional feature for this model. If this feature is not configured 
with the factory order, you must order and install it to enable the PoE function.
