Run this command:

apt-cdrom add

Note though that it is usually better to just download the first cd or
a special installation cd and then update from the internet without
downloading all the other cds. That will probably save a lot of
bandwidth. But there can be good reasons to do it with cds and since
you have them already, apt-cdrom is the way to go.

Good luck,
