Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T Feature Packs

78-10444-01

Installation Notes

Note If you change the timeout value, you must do so before connecting to the router, or the new

value will not be used. Also, increasing the Short Timeout value can increase the time it

takes for RSL to connect to the target router.

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 the radio button beside 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

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 router console.
