Connecting WAN and LAN Cables
Ethernet Connections
The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration
routers support the following Ethernet implementations:

Ethernet cables, connectors, and pinouts.
ISDN BRI Connections
The ISDN BRI S/T interface on the Cisco 1801, Cisco 1802, Cisco 1803 and Cisco 1812 routers provides
an ISDN BRI connection for dial-backup purposes. The BRI S/T interface requires an external Network
Terminator 1 (NT1).
Use a BRI cable (not included) to connect the BRI S/T interface card directly to an ISDN NT1.
