The Cisco 800 series routers provide the following key hardware features:
The feature packs described in these release notes contain Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)XV software images, some images from previous software releases, and the RSL Version 7.3.
To determine the version of Cisco IOS software running on your Cisco 800 series, log in to the router and enter the show version EXEC command:
For information on upgrading to a Cisco IOS Release 12.0 T software release, see the product bulletin Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0 T Upgrade Paths and Packaging Simplification (#819: 1/99) on CCO at:
Service and Support: Product Bulletins: Software
Under Cisco IOS 12.0, click Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0 T Upgrade (#819: 1/99).
The Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets consisting of software images—depending on the platform. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features. Release 12.0(7)XV supports the same feature sets as Release 12.0 T, but Release 12.0(7)XV can include new features supported by the Cisco 800 series.
| Image Names | Feature Set Matrix Term | Software Image | Platforms | In1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1The number in the "In" column indicates the Cisco IOS release when the image was first introduced. For example, (5)T means an image was introduced in Release 12.0(5)T. If a cell in this column is empty, the interface was included in the initial base release.
2This feature set is offered in the basic feature set. 3This feature set is offered in the Plus feature set. 4This feature set is offered in the encryption feature sets, which consist of IPSec 56-bit (Plus IPSec 56) data encryption feature sets. |
|
Caution Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 168-bit (3DES) data encryption feature sets) are subject to United States government export controls and have limited distribution. Strong encryption images to be installed outside the United States may require an export license. Customer orders may be denied or subject to delay due to United States government regulations. When applicable, the purchaser or the user must obtain local import and use authorizations for all encryption strengths. Contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send an e-mail to export@cisco.com. |

This section describes the following topics:
The following information about RSL operations can help you with the installation process:
If any of the following elements apply to your installation, modify the Short Timeout value from the Options dialog box in the RSL:
"Failed to configure the router to enable the Cisco IOS software image and configuration file upload and download operations. You may want to check the router to make sure that the selected interface exists."
If you are connecting to a Cisco AS5200, increase the Short Timeout value to 60 seconds. The Cisco AS5200 requires up to 45 seconds to write a configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) due to the number of interfaces the it must check during this process.
If you are connecting to any other router or access server, increase the Short Timeout to a value over 25 seconds.
|
Note If you change the timeout value, you must do so before connecting to the Cisco 800 series router, or the new value will not be used. Also, increasing the Short Timeout value can increase the time it takes for the RSL to connect to the target Cisco 800 series router. |
In some cases, the RSL is unable to restore the startup configuration. If this happens, follow these steps:
Step 2 Restart the 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 Cisco 800 series router is connected, select Download Router Configuration in the Router Software Loader dialog box.
Step 6 Select the appropriate file and click the radio button beside Copy configuration to the router nonvolatile memory. The Cisco 800 series router should now contain the startup configuration it had before the initial RSL connection.
Step 7 Exit the RSL.
|
Note In the steps above, the Cisco 800 series router configuration register (config-register 0xnnnn) is not restored. |
|
Note If you press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to quit the 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. |
The 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:
|
Note The sample prompts and output shown in the following sections may not be identical to the prompts displayed on the Cisco 800 series router 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 800 series router:
Use this TFTP server application method as an alternative method to install the router software from the CD-ROM. You can perform this procedure by using a PC (running Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 3.1), a Macintosh, or a UNIX system. You can use either the copy tftp flash or copy rcp flash command to download the router software to the router.
First, obtain a TFTP application or a remote copy protocol (rcp) application to set up your computer as a TFTP server or an rcp server. If you are using a PC running Windows 95, you can use the RSL or the TFTP server included on the feature pack CD-ROM to install the router software. For other operating systems, a number of TFTP or rcp applications are available from independent software vendors or as shareware on the World Wide Web.
|
Note To use an rcp application, follow the same procedure below, but substitute "rcp" for "TFTP" and use the copy rcp flash command instead of the copy tftp flash command. |
Step 2 Start the TFTP server application on the PC by double-clicking the application icon or its .exe filename.
Step 3 Set up the PC as a TFTP server by using the TFTP server application setup or configuration facility.
Most TFTP server applications include a setup facility that allows you to specify the PC as a server. For example, from the TFTP menu of one application, select Settings to display a panel. To configure the local PC as a server, select the Server checkbox.
Select a root directory where the Cisco IOS files reside (for example, d:\cpswinst\images).
|
Caution Make sure you set up your local PC as a TFTP server. If you do not, you cannot perform the copy procedure. This caution applies to both TFTP and rcp. |
Step 4 Establish a console session from your local PC (which is now configured as a TFTP server) to the Cisco router by using one of these methods:
This is the recommended method. When you reload the Cisco 800 series router with the new image in Step 10, you remain connected to the Cisco 800 series router.
|
Caution Make sure that your PC is set up to communicate with the connected device through its network port. |
Step 5 Connect your PC's LAN port to the corresponding LAN port on the Cisco 800 series router. If you are making a direct connection to the Cisco 800 series router via Ethernet or Fast Ethernet, use an Ethernet crossover cable. If connecting to the Cisco 800 series router via an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub or Token Ring MAU (hub), use straight-through cable.
Step 6 At the prompt, enter the IP address of your PC, as shown in the following example:
Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 131.108.1.1
This is the IP address of your local PC, not that of the router.
Step 7 At the prompt, enter the filename of the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)XV image to be copied to the router, as shown in the following example:
This example specifies the DOS image name of the IP feature set for Cisco 800 series routers (as shown in Table 4 in the "Cisco 800 Series Routers Feature Packs" section).
Step 8 At the prompt, enter the destination UNIX image filename and press Enter.
This is the name of the image file on the router—not the full pathname of the image on the CD-ROM attached to the PC. Refer to Table 4 in the "Cisco 800 Series Routers Feature Packs" section for the UNIX image filename.
During the transfer process, the software displays messages indicating that it has accessed the file you have specified and is loading it.
Step 9 At the prompt, enter yes if you want to erase the existing image copy resident in the router Flash memory before copying the new one.
Erase flash device before writing? [confirm] yes
The entire copying process takes several minutes and differs from network to network.
The exclamation point (!) indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each exclamation point (!) indicates that ten packets have been transferred successfully. A checksum verification of the image occurs after the image is written to Flash memory.
Step 10 Enter the reload command to reload the router:
After the reload is complete, the router should be running the required Cisco IOS image. Use the show version command to verify it.
The Common Application Programming Interface (CAPI) is an application programming interface standard used to access ISDN equipment connected to Basic Rate Interfaces (BRIs) and Primary Rate Interfaces (PRIs). Remote Common Application Programming Interface (RCAPI) is the CAPI feature configured remotely from a PC client. CAPI provides the following features:
Figure 1 shows how CAPI connects applications, drivers, and controllers.
The framing protocols supported by CAPI include High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), HDLC inverted, bit transparent (speech), and V.110 synchronous/asynchronous. CAPI integrates the following data link and network layer protocols:
CAPI supports the following features:
Figure 2 shows the components of the RCAPI implementation.
The router supports the ISDN Device Control Protocol (ISDN-DCP) from RVS-COM. ISDN-DCP allows a workstation on the LAN or router to use legacy dial computer telephony integration (CTI) applications. These applications include placing and receiving telephone calls and transmitting and receiving faxes.
Using ISDN-DCP, the router acts as a DCP server. By default, the router listens for DCP messages on TCP port number 2578 (the Internet-assigned number for RVS-COM DCP) on its LAN port.
When the router receives a DCP message from a DCP client (connected to the LAN port of the router), the router processes the message and acts on it; it can send confirmations to the DCP clients and ISDN packets through the BRI port of the router. When the router receives packets destined for one of the DCP clients on its BRI port, the router formats the packet as a DCP message and sends it to the corresponding client. The router supports all the DCP messages specified in the ISDN-DCP specifications defined by RVS-COM.
The router provides two 64-kbps B channels to CAPI clients. Each B channel can be configured separately to work in either HDLC mode or bit transparent mode. For CAPI support, layers B2 through B7 protocols are transparent to the applications using these B channels.
The ISDN Core Engine of RVS-COM supports the following B-channel protocols:
CAPI support is available only for the ISDN switch type Net3.
ISDN-DCP supports CAPI and non-CAPI applications. Applications are supported that use one or two B channels for data transfer, different HDLC-based protocols, Euro File transfer, or G4 fax; also supported are applications that send bit-transparent data such as A/Mu law audio, G3 fax, analog modem, or analog telephones.
Before you can enable the RCAPI feature on the Cisco 800 series router, the following requirements must be met:
The following procedure provides step-by-step instructions for configuring RCAPI on the 800 series router:
Step 2 Set the switch type. In the following example, the switch type is set to ETSI.
Step 3 Enter the RCAPI directory number assigned by the ISDN provider for the device. For example:
Step 4 Optional. Perform this step only if you wish to specify a port number for RCAPI functions. Otherwise, the default port 2578 is used. Configure the same number on both the router and client PC. For example:
Step 5 Exit from global configuration mode to interface configuration mode.
Step 6 Set the switch type for the bri0 interface. In the following example, the switch type is set to ETSI.
Step 7 Set the modem as the default handler for incoming voice calls.
Step 8 Change to privileged EXEC mode either by pressing Ctrl-Z or by entering exit twice, once at the interface mode prompt and again at the global configuration mode prompt.
Step 9 Optional. Enter the following if you wish to display RCAPI status.
Step 10 Optional. In privileged EXEC mode, start the debug program to run in the background.
Step 11 If required, at each remote device console, change to global configuration mode. Repeat Step 2 through Step 10 to configure that device.
This section describes in detail the Cisco IOS commands for configuring RCAPI on the 800 series routers. These commands are applicable only for ISDN Net3 switch types.
To enable the Cisco 800 series router to distinguish between incoming CAPI calls and incoming non-CAPI calls such as POTS, PPP, and X.25, use the rcapi number command. This command allows the Cisco 800 series router to reserve directory numbers exclusively for incoming calls.
The no rcapi number directory number[:subaddress] command releases the specified directory number from the RCAPI interface. By default, no directory number is set for the RCAPI interface.
Syntax DescriptionThe directory number is the number assigned by the ISDN provider for the PC on which RCAPI is configured. This number should not be set to any other interface.
| Command Elements | Description |
|---|---|
Defaults
The default is no directory number is set for the RCAPI interface.
Command Modes Command History| Release | Modification |
|---|---|
The commands rcapi number and no rcapi number were introduced on the Cisco 800 series router. |
