Setup the Router to Access a Corporate Network or Internet
Service Provider
A Cisco Fast Step CD-ROM and a RVS-COM Lite CD-ROM is included with your router. We
recommend that you use Cisco Fast Step software to set up the router and RVS-COM Lite software for
Common ISDN Application Programmers Interface (CAPI) support.
Cisco Fast Step Software
Cisco Fast Step software simplifies the setup and monitoring of Cisco routers. It runs on Microsoft
Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 personal computer systems. The Cisco Fast Step
software CD-ROM is included with your router. It is also available on Cisco Connection Online at
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/faststep. If you have questions about Cisco Fast Step
software, please E-mail the following alias for more information: cs-faststep@cisco.com
Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive. The installation wizard starts automatically.
If you inserted the CD in the drive and the setup program did not start automatically, launch the
installation wizard by following these instructions:
Step 1Double-click the My Computer icon.
Step 2Double-click the CD icon.
Step 3Double-click the ImLanguageSelect.exe icon, and follow the on-screen instructions.
If you downloaded the software from Cisco Connection Online, launch the installation wizard by
following these instructions:
Step 4Uncompress the Cisco Fast Step files, retaining the directory structure.
Step 5Double-click the Setup.exe icon in the disk1 directory, and follow the on-screen instructions.
RVS-COM Lite Support
The RVS-COM Lite software provides CAPI support. If you already have a terminal adapter with CAPI
installed, you must uninstall the old version of CAPI, install a network interface card, and install the
Cisco-supplied RVS-COM Lite upgrade on every PC.
Make sure you do the following:
• Install the RVS-RVS-COMLite software after you have used Cisco Fast Step Setup to configure the
router.
• Install RVS-COM Lite on every PC on the Ethernet.
RVS-COM Lite Installation
Place the RVS-COM Lite CD into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. It should start automatically.
If it does not start or you have any questions about the RVS-COM Lite software, refer to the
documentation provided with the RVS-COM Lite CD-ROM.
