Configuring the Cisco 675 & 678

This appendix tells you how to configure the Cisco 675 & 678 routers.

Note: For complete installation and configuration information, see the Cisco 675 Installation  and Operation Manual that shipped with your Cisco 675 or 678.

To manage your Cisco router, find the management cable that came with it.  This cable will have  a 9-pin "D" shaped connector at one end and what looks like an oversized telephone plug at the other.   The telephone plug end goes into the port marked "MGMT" on the router.  The other end connects  to one of ther serial ports ("COM ports") on your computer.

  1. Open HyperTerminal (this is under start -> programs -> accessories -> communications [Win98  only]  or start -> programs -> accessories [Win95 only]).
  2. The HyperTerminal will appear asking you to choose a name and icon for the connection.
  3. Type "router" (without the quotes)
  4. Choose any icon from the ones listed
  5. Click the OK button
  6. Choose from one of the following:
    If you connected the serial cable to a serial port labeled A or Com1, select "Direct to Com1."
    If you connected the serial cable to a serial port labeled B or Com2, select "Direct to Com2."
  7. Click the OK button

 

In the Properties window, use the following port settings:

  • Bits per second: 9600
  • Data bits: 8
  • Parity: None
  • Stop bits: 1
  • Flow control: none

Click the OK button

Press Enter
A HyperTerminal session window appears with a welcome message and a password prompt. Please make sure  you are running CBOS v2.4.2 or higher.
