1. Cisco 250 only. A node MAC address, assigned to the ISDN Adapter, is required for the software to function with the Cisco 250 hardware. Addresses must be no more than 12 hexadecimal characters. They can include a combination of numbers (0-9) and letters (A-F). Each node MAC address must be unique. The first two characters must be 00 to avoid confusion with a broadcast address. 2. This is the name of your workstation. If connected to a router using authentication, this name must be identical to the "username" configured on the router. 3. Duplicate this page if you have two or more connecting routers. Specify the information for each connecting router. 4. The connection name should be the hostname configured on that router. 5. The authentication password must be identical to the password entered on the router after the username. 6. Be sure to include all digits necessary to connect to the router (country code, area code, international access, long distance access, public access, etc.) 7. The D-channel protocol configuration should be provided by your ISDN service provider (telephone company). 8. The second SPID and directory are optional unless you are using PPP multilink on the NI1 protocol that will run on a DMS100 switch. In this case, the second SPID and directory are required. 9. A SPID is not always required for 5ESS lines. Check with your ISDN service provider (telephone company) for more information.
Running the Cisco 200 Setup Program
The Cisco 200 Setup utility installs the Cisco 200 series software. The installation involves these tasks:
To begin the installation, use the following procedure:
Step 1 While Windows 95 is running, insert the working copy of the Cisco 200 Setup Disk 1 into the disk drive of your PC.
Note If there are other Windows applications running, close them before running Setup.
Unless otherwise specified, the Back button will take you back through the Cisco 200 Setup dialog boxes one by one.
Step 2 Run Setup. You can run the Setup program in one of two ways:
Using the Windows 95 Run Utility—Select Start, then Run. In the Run dialog box, enter or (if you have previously entered it) select:
