Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port (Optional)
The CONSOLE port is a service port to which you can connect a terminal or PC in order to configure
the software via the command-line interface (CLI) or to troubleshoot problems with the router. To
connect a terminal or PC to the CONSOLE port, follow the steps in Figure 1-4. (Figure 1-4 shows a
Cisco 806 router, but the process is the same for a SOHO 71 router.)

Note If, after you turn on the router, you cannot connect to the Internet and connect to a website using a
connected PC, it is recommended that you configure the router using the Cisco Router Web Setup
(CRWS) software. The CRWS software is installed on your router at the factory. See the “If You Cannot
Connect to a Website” section on page 1-18 for instructions on starting CRWS.
