Chapter 1 Cisco 1700 Router Overview
Cisco WAN interface card
In order to make a WAN connection, the Cisco 1700 router must
have a supported WAN interface card installed. The router
supports up to two cards. You can order the cards when ordering
the router, and they will be installed for you. You can order the
cards separately, after receiving the router, and install them
yourself.
Straight-through
RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable
This cable connects the router to the Ethernet LAN and the
WAN interface cards to various WAN services, including ISDN,
T1/FT1, and 56-kbps services. You will need one cable for each
connection that requires this cable type.
Serial cable
This cable connects a serial card to serial services. You must
order this cable from Cisco. For detailed information about
serial cable types, refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Cards
Hardware Installation Guide that comes with every card.

device to connect an ISDN S/T port to the ISDN line.
