These instructions are for the basic configuration of the Cisco 675/678 router, and computers connected to the router. When you get the router from Qwest, a wiring diagram will be included. Use this diagram to connect all the wires, including the blue Management cable, which connects to a serial port on your computer. Use the yellow wire to connect the ENET port on the router to your computer.

Configuring the Router

On a Windows computer, use Hyper Terminal (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Hyper Terminal) to configure the Cisco 675 router. 

Machintosh Users: Use ZTerm instead of Hyper Terminal.

Give the connection a name, click 'OK'.

In the Connect using field, select the 'Direct to Comx', with x being the port number your router is connected to. 

Click 'OK'.

Now change the configuration to 38400 Bits per second, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1 and Flow Control None. 

Click 'OK'.

Press enter on the keyboard, and you will get a cbos prompt. You will need to enter the following commands to configure your router to use with TCQ Internet.

cbos> enable
password:

Press enter for the password

cbos# set nvram erase
cbos# write
cbos# reboot

cbos> enable
password:

Press enter for the password

cbos# set ppp wan0-0 dns 0.0.0.0
cbos# set ppp wan0-0 ipcp 0.0.0.0
cbos# set ppp wan0-0 login your username
cbos# set ppp wan0-0 password your password
cbos# set nat enable
cbos# set dhcp server enable
cbos# write
cbos# reboot

Perform these steps only if you are using a Cisco 678 in DMT mode.

cbos> enable
password:

cbos# set int wan0-0 disable 
cbos# write 
cbos# set int wan0-0 vpi 0 
cbos# set int wan0-0 vci 32 
cbos# write 
cbos# set int wan0-0 enable 
cbos# write 
cbos# set int wan0 retrain 

Now the router configuration is complete. Use the following steps to configure your computer:
