Note Antenna orientation can increase or decrease signal reception due to polarization. Typically, an SP’s
transmitting antenna on the BTS is a vertically polarized omnidirectional antenna, which means the
electromagnetic waves are transmitted from it in a vertical plane. Hence, the receiving antenna needs to
be vertically oriented too in order to receive the best signal. As the angle of the antenna orientation is
changed from vertical to horizontal, only an angular component of the signal is picked up by the antenna.
Therefore, if the antenna orientation is horizontal, the antenna picks up the least signal. The signal is
received by the antenna as a result of it bouncing off of reflective surfaces. Hence, depending on where
the antenna is placed, it may receive different signal strengths. However, the recommended position is
vertical.

Connecting a Data BRI Port

You can connect the Data BRI port to the ISDN service provider as a backup link to the WAN port in
case the primary xDSL (general term referring to various forms of DSL, including global industry
standard symmetrical high-speed DSL [G.SHDSL]) WAN service fails. The Data BRI connection is not
available on the third-generation (3G) models.
The cabling requirements for the ISDN S/T connection are as follows:
• You must provide two unshielded Category 5 cables. The first cable connects the NT1 box to the
splitter, and the second cable connects the splitter to the wall jack.
• There are RJ-45 connectors at both ends of the default orange ISDN S/T cable. However, an
RJ-45–to–RJ-11 ISDN S/T cable is available upon request if the wall jack at the site requires an
RJ-11 connector. Contact your router reseller for the appropriate cable.

Caution Both LAN and WAN ports use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables to these
connectors. To avoid damage to the router, do not connect telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits
(such as ISDN or DSL circuits) to safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits (such as LAN circuits).

3-41
 Chapter 3 Connecting the Router
Cisco 860, 880, 890 Series

This option allows a stepped offhook resistance during seizure, which avoids overloading the circuit
during offhook in the event that ringing voltage is present on the circuit at the same time as the trunk
seizure. The stepped offhook resistance is initially set to 800 Ohms, then adjusts to 50 Ohms when
ringing voltage is not present.

To enable the soft-offhook command on the port, and to access the connection command with plar opx
syntax, see the Cisco Command Lookup Tool.
