Obtaining Technical Assistance

Audience

This guide is intended for coaxial networking transmission installers and technicians who are familiar with the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of cable television wiring and equipment. Cable system installers and technicians should be familiar with their cable plant's base operating parameters and subscriber service offerings. Cable system support engineers and administrators should be acquainted with Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 type data communications networks.


Note This document contains instructions to install or configure the Cisco uBR905 cable access router using procedures that only qualified personnel should perform. This document is not intended for subscribers. See the "Related Documentation" section of this preface for the documentation available for subscribers.


Purpose

This guide covers the physical installation of the Cisco uBR905 cable access router. These procedures include site preparation; the physical placement of the router in an appropriate location; the cabling required for the power, Ethernet, and cable connections; and verification of the installation at the router's initial power on.

These procedures do not require a connection to the router's console port, nor do they require access to the router's command-line interface (CLI). However, CLI access might be required to configure the router and to bring it to full operability. See the Cisco uBR905 Cable Access Router Software Configuration Guide for instructions on configuring the router for network operation.
