How do you install plumbing under a bathroom in a basement with a concrete floor?

I recently saw an episode of "Ask This Old House" and one of the projects was installing a toilet in the basement. From the question I am assuming that this is a similar situation. The way they approached the problem was to install a small box (sorry, can't remember exactly what is was called) and the box contained a pump. It was electric and plugged into a nearby outlet. Anyway, this pump would turn on after the toilet was flushed and pump the waste up and out. They may have a better description of the project on their website, or I'm sure a local Home Depot or similar store would have this particular pump. Hope that helps.
If your existing waste and drains drop below the concrete slab, a sewage ejector like the first response indicated may not be needed. Simply plumb new lines below the slab and connect properly to the existing drain lines. Be sure to slope and vent properly with correct pipe sizes.

What are plumbing Rough-in stops?
Roughed-in plumbing refers to plumbing (water and waste lines) installed for future fixtures, for example, a bathroom in a basement. Stops refer to shut-off valves on water supply lines, required to shut-off the water to repair the fixture that they service. So "Rough-in stops" are shut-off valves on supply lines that are roughed-in. If they were not roughed-in, you would need to break concrete floor (to install waste lines) if/when you decided to add a bathroom to your basement family room.

What is the first step to install a basement bathroom?
Decide if it is feasable. Are there drains already in place ? Does the existing main drain go through the floor or out the wall. If it's out the wall, you would need to install a pump for the sewage. If it is through the floor, you will have to bust out a section of the floor to install drains if none exist. Fairly expensive and labor intense. so you have to ask if it is worth it. After the drains are dealt with, it is just a matter of walls, plumbing, and fixtures.
You want to install shower in the basement tying into the main drain for the house should there be some kind of backflow preventer installed between the shower trap and the main line to prevent backup?
If the existing sewer line is lower than basement grade (does it go into the basement floor and out of the house?) you can just connect in to the existing drain. By code, sewer lines must have a slope of 1/4 inch per running foot, meaning that raw sewage will run AWAY from the main plumbing stack of the house. If the sewer line is ABOVE the level of the basement plumbing fixtures, you will need to purchase and install a pump check-valve, and tank to install any plumbing below the house sewer line. If you have any questions, contact a licensed plumber to find out the needs of your home.
