- if the WAN LNK light (the green one on the far left) is blinking and never stays solid (even after many minutes), it's a problem with Qwest's phone line.


- if the WAN ACT light (the amber one on the far left) is blinking; your connection to Real Time is probably good.


Resetting Your Router Password

If you've setup your own passwords for the Cisco 675/678 and forgotten them, this procedure will help you reset them.

  1. Connect your 675/678 to your PC via the management cable (originally supplied with the router - connects between the Cisco 675/678 and your PC's serial port)
  2. Login to the router (using Hyperterminal or other serial port based terminal application)
    Note: connect using 9600 baud, 8-N-1, no flow control
  3. Remove, then restore power to the Cisco 675/678
  4. As soon as the Cisco 675/678's red ALARM light comes on, hit Ctrl-C a few times to enter ROM monitor mode
  5. Enter the following two commands:
    1. CBOS# es 6 (erases sector 6)
    2. CBOS# rb (reboots 675/678)
  6. Once the unit reboots you can reenter your user info.

Testing Your DSL Connection Speed and Line Quality

  1. Connect your 675/678 to your PC via the management cable (originally supplied with the router - connects between the Cisco 675/678 and your PC's serial port)

  2. Enter the following at the cbos> prompt:

    show interface wan0

  3. This should tell you some information about your line quality and the speeds you're getting
