Preface

Cisco 800 Fast Step software simplifies the setup and monitoring of Cisco routers. It runs on Microsoft
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows NT 4.0 personal computer systems. The
Cisco Fast Step software CD-ROM is included with the router. It is also available on Cisco Connection
Online at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/faststep.
The product consists of two applications:
Setup, a wizard-based application that leads the end user step-by-step through the router
•
configuration process, providing initial configuration, testing, and troubleshooting.
Monitor, a graphical user interface for the router, providing on-going status reports, alarms, and
•
troubleshooting.
This document provides instructions for customizing the Setup application. The Monitor application
cannot be customized and is not discussed further in this document.
You, as a service provider, can develop Cisco 800 Fast Step configuration (CFG) and Cisco 800 Fast
Step IOS template (TPL) files to control the behavior of the Cisco 800 Fast Step Setup application. In
addition, you can build your own, custom, installation disk set or CD-ROM.
