CFG File Modification

CFG File Modification
This section describes some of the CFG file modifications that can be made to control the behavior of
Setup and the configuration output to the router.

Force the Connection To Be Console or Ethernet

The default connection type between the PC and the router can be set to either Ethernet or the console
cable. If the initial connection is set to be through the Ethernet and the connection fails, the user is
prompted to establish a connection through the console cable. If the initial connection is set to be
through the console cable and the connection fails, the user is prompted to retry the connection through
the console cable. The flag syntax is as follows:
[PC to Router Connection]
ConnectionType=
If the flag value is set to 2, the connection type defaults to Ethernet.
If the flag value is set to 3, the connection type defaults to the console cable.

Skip To Tests

You can force the end user to skip all data-entry windows and go directly to the configuration test. If
you have created a configuration that provides all the configuration parameters and you want the end
user to only use Setup to test the connection, you can skip all screens and display the Test window. The
flag syntax is as follows:
[Skipped Dialogs]
SkipToSetupandTest=
If the flag value is set to 0 or blank, the windows are displayed.
If the flag value is set to 1, Setup skips to the Test window.

Skip All Tests

You can skip testing and download the configuration to the router. This flag is often used when IOS
commands that do not follow the predefined Cisco 800 Fast Step scenarios are included in the
configuration. Although the configuration might be valid, it might fail testing because it is not based on
a recognized Cisco 800 Fast Step scenario. If you skip testing, the configurations are assumed to be
correct and are downloaded to the router. The flag syntax is as follows:
[Setup Type]
SetSkipTesting=
If the flag value is set to 0 or blank, the connections are tested.
If the flag value is set to 1, all the testing in Setup is skipped.
