T1 CPE???? What sort of T1 CPE? Smartjack/NIU or something else? Typically, I'd use the *2811* as the T1 CPE.
You'd want a straight-thru to go from a Smartjack into a T1 port on a 2811.
If you instead have another T1 router there, to connect two routers together on their ethernet ports, use a cross-over cable.

Make sure that the cable you are using has all four pairs. Ethernet uses the green and orange pairs, but a T1 uses the blue and orange pairs.

To be more specific:
Ethernet uses pins 1-2-3-6 on an RJ45 plug
T1 uses pins 1-2-4-5 on an RJ45 plug
