4-8 Cisco 2500 Series Access Server User Guide

Configuring the Access Server

This functionality is coordinated by your system administrator at the site where the TCP/IP

host is located. You should not attempt to use AutoInstall unless the required ﬁles have been

provided on the TCP/IP host. See the publication Access and Communication Server

Conﬁguration Guide for information on how AutoInstall works.

Take the following steps to prepare your access server for the AutoInstall process:

Step 1 Attach the synchronous serial cable to the access server.

Step 2 Turn on power to the access server.

The access server will load the operating system image from Flash memory. If the

remote end of the WAN connection is connected and properly conﬁgured, the

AutoInstall process will begin.

If the AutoInstall completed successfully, you may wish to write the conﬁguration

data to the access server’s nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM).

Perform the following step to complete this task:

Step 3 At the # prompt, enter the copy running-conﬁg startup-conﬁg command if you

are running Cisco IOS Release 11.0 or later, or the write memory command if

you are running a Cisco IOS release earlier than 11.0:

Hostname# copy running-config startup-config

Taking this step will save the conﬁguration settings that the AutoInstall process

created in the access server. If you fail to do this, your conﬁguration will be lost

the next time you reload the access server.

Conﬁguring the Access Server Manually Using the Setup Facility

If you do not plan to use AutoInstall, do not connect the access server’s serial (WAN) cable

to the channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU). This will prevent the access server

from attempting to run the AutoInstall process. The access server will attempt to run

AutoInstall whenever you start it if the serial (WAN) connection is connected on both ends

and the access server does not have a conﬁguration stored in NVRAM. It can take several

minutes for the access server to determine that AutoInstall is not set up to a remote TCP/IP

host.
