Installation Notes
Restoring the Startup Configuration
In some cases, RSL is unable to restore the startup configuration. If this happens, follow these steps:
Step 1 Ensure that all cables are properly attached to both the router and the PC.
Step 2 Restart RSL and connect by using the Preconfigured router option.
Step 3 When asked if you want to overwrite the existing startup configuration file, choose no.
Step 4 When asked if you want to continue, choose yes.
Step 5 When the router is connected, select Download Router Configuration in the
Router Software Loader dialog box.
Step 6 Select the appropriate file and click Copy configuration to the router nonvolatile
memory. The router should now contain the startup configuration it had before the initial
RSL connection.
Step 7 Exit RSL.
Note In the steps above, the router configuration register (config-register 0xnnnn) is not restored.
Note If you press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to quit RSL, the router configuration and the configuration
register are not restored. However, the configuration file is not deleted from the PC. To restore the
configuration file, follow the steps above, beginning with Step 2.
Alternatives to RSL
RSL is designed to work with a PC running Microsoft Windows 95 and is the recommended method
for downloading software to the router; however, two alternatives are available for installing router
software:
• Installing the Router Software by Using the Console
• Installing the Router Software by Using a TFTP Server Application
Note The sample prompts and output shown in the following sections may not be identical to the
prompts displayed on the Cisco MC3810 console.
Installing the Router Software by Using the Console
This section explains how to use the copy xmodem flash command to install the router software
from the CD-ROM onto the router.
The following example shows how to use the copy xmodem flash command on a Cisco MC3810:
Router# copy xmodem flash
**** WARNING ****
x/ymodem is a slow transfer protocol limited to the current speed
settings of the auxiliary/console ports. The use of the auxiliary
port for this download is strongly recommended.
During the course of the download no exec input/output will be
available.
