Installing the Router
Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Router’s Console Port
(Optional)
You can connect either a terminal or a PC to the router’s console port. You can use
the terminal or PC for configuring the software via the command-line interface
(CLI) or for troubleshooting. To connect a terminal or PC, follow the steps given
after Figure 2-5. (Figure 2-5 shows a Cisco 837, but it also applies to the
SOHO 97 router. The connection procedure applies to both the Cisco 837 router
and the SOHO 97 router.)
Note Unless you are an experienced network administrator, it is recommended that you
use the Cisco Router Web Setup software to configure the router. Use of this
software is described in the “Using Cisco Router Web Setup to Configure the
Router” section on page 2-21.
