Connecting Antennas to the Router RP-TNC Connectors

If your router has the wireless LAN option, connect the antennas by screwing the antenna connectors in a clockwise direction

onto the reverse-polarity threaded Neill-Concelman (RP-TNC) connectors on the back panel of the router. Figure 3 shows an

example of how to connect the swivel-mount dipole antennas to the router.

The location and position of your router antennas are crucial to effective wireless connectivity. For more information

Note

about the antennas compatible with the Cisco 1801, Cisco 1802, and Cisco 1803 routers, see the online documents

located at the following URL:

Configuring the Router Using Cisco Router and Security Device Manager

Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) is a web-based configuration tool that allows you to configure LAN and

WAN interfaces, routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), firewalls, VPNs, and other features on your router. If SDM is

installed on your router, configure the router by following the instructions in the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager

(SDM) Quick Start Guide. If this document was not shipped with your router, you can obtain the SDM software and instructions

for installing it on your router from the following location:

To obtain the SDM release notes and other SDM documentation, go to the following URL and click the Technical

Documentation link.

Connecting a PC to the Router Console Port

This step is optional; it is required only if you want to use the Cisco IOS CLI instead of SDM to configure or troubleshoot the

router. To use Cisco IOS, you must connect the router to a terminal or to a PC with terminal emulation software. Terminal

emulation software should be configured with the following settings:
