Cisco 837 using French Telecom

Afternoon,

been trying for a rediculously long time now to get a Cisco 837 (purchased in the UK) to work with French Telecoms. Onsite user states the line has worked fine with his FT supplied modem for months.

FT state:

  • VPI =8
  • VCI 35 = 35
  • Type d'encapsulation =VXMUX
  • Protocole = PPPoA/PPPoE

I have tried every combination of pap/chap/encapsulation/dsl operating-mode i can think of with no success.

I am using the standard Dialer1 and ATM0 interfaces and will post config if required.

I am really just curious if anyone has a working config for this device.

In fact there is no problem you can use the "lavander" cable shipped in the box because we use ADSL Filters with "French SRTE" connector on one side and a RJ11 on the other side.

I have a CISCO 857W and it works fine in France with Wanadoo/Orange ISP.

Here is my current working conf (857W is wifi enabled).

You may wish to investigate the Cisco 837 Config Wizard:

I have put an 877 in france too.

I agree with the above config.

One thing though that I checked on is that the "phone" line was not ISDN since I have heard that ISDN is used in some cases for domestic lines in France.

The French, as is their custom, use their own term for ISDN, namely RNIS (IIRC) which is as you might expect an acronym representing a translation of Integrated Services Digital Network.

This one was also on Orange (ex Wanadoo).

Config fragment:

Thanks for all your support guys.

I am still getting ATM0 down down in "show ip int brief" which still appears to be a cable issue to me.

I have the user connected with the supplied purple cable and after some translation issues it seems that the carier detect light isnt illuminated.

Will call FT/Orange today again to confirm that it is indeed ADSL and not ISDN

User now explains he has ADSL2, which Cisco website states is not supported by the 837.

Bad luck for him, still thought i'd get some sort of ATM signal.

Thanks aga> Thanks for all your support guys.
