Configure the Router

Now you are ready to configure the router. You do this by completing the router EZ Setup form, which is located on the router.

Before you continue, make sure you have your list of ISDN and IP parameters handy. We suggest that you print a sample copy of the Router EZ Setup form and fill in all the values you want to enter on the form located on the router.

When you are ready to configure your router from a Windows 3.11 or Macintosh PC, click here.

When you are ready to configure your router from a Windows 95 PC, follow these steps:

1. Use the Windows Explorer to locate the file \WINDOWS\CLICKHLP.EXE on the Cisco Connection CD-ROM.
   
   
2. Double click CLICKHLP.EXE. This program returns the IP address of the router.
   

---

Note When you run CLICKHLP.EXE, Windows 95 will display error messages indicating that it has found another computer on the network with the same IP address. Ignore these messages by clicking OK in the error message window.

---

1. Enter the IP address in the browser's location (URL) line in the format http://ip-address/ezsetup. This takes you to the Router EZ Setup form.
   

When you are done configuring the router, check the configuration.

Troubleshooting

If you did not get to the router EZ Setup form on the router or if the router did not configure properly, try one or more of the following steps until you succeed in configuring the router:

1. Check that the Ethernet cable is correctly connected.
   
   
2. If you have already clicked new-router.cisco.com, turn off the router off. Then restart the router try to configure the router using the EZ Setup form.
   
   
3. If your initial configuration attempt did not work, turn off the router. Restart the router and exit from and restart your browser. Try to configure the router using the EZ Setup form.
   
   
4. If you reconfigured TCP on your PC and did not reboot the PC, reboot the PC and try to configure the router.
   
   
5. If your router was previously configured, ClickStart will not work. To use ClickStart, connect a terminal to the router's console port and use the erase startup-config command to erase the existing configuration file. Then use the EZ Setup form to configure the router.
   

If none of these steps succeeds, contact the Cisco Technical Response Center (TRC).
