Set Up the Router

To set up the router, perform the following tasks:

1. Plug your router into a power socket.
   
   
2. If necessary, power on the router. (Cisco 1003, Cisco 1004, and Cisco 1005 routers do not have a power switch.) Allow the router to warm up for about 2 minutes.
   
   
3. Make sure that your PC and the router are connected to each other using the proper Ethernet cables.
   
   
4. If you are configuring a new router, skip this step.
   

   If you are reconfiguring a router taht already has a working configuration file, save the configuration file in a text file on your PC. Then issue an erase startup-config command and restart the router.
