Understanding Cisco IOS Software Basics This section describes what you need to know about the Cisco IOS software before you configure the router by using the command-line interface (CLI). This chapter includes the following: Getting Help, page 1-6 •...
Understanding these concepts will save time as you begin to use the CLI. If you have never used Cisco IOS software or if you need a refresher, take a few minutes to read this chapter before you proceed to the next chapter.
Understanding Cisco IOS Software Basics Command Modes The Cisco IOS user interface involves different modes. Each command mode permits you to configure different components on your router. The commands available at any given time depend on which mode you are currently in. Entering a question mark (?) at the prompt displays a list of commands available for each command mode.
Router# exit, which returns you to the previous mode. In the Cisco IAD2430 series IADs, the controller port syntax is x/y, where Note slot can be 0 (where 0 is the T1/E1 controller on a VWIC) or 1 (the onboard T1/E1), and port can be 0 (the first port) or 1 (the second port).

Cisco IAD model number: IAD2431-1T1E1 Where to Go Next Now that you have learned some Cisco IOS software basics and seen some typical deployment scenarios, you can begin to configure the router by using the command-line interface (CLI). Remember that: You can use the question mark (?) and arrow keys to help you enter commands.
Before Powering On Your Cisco IAD Before you power on your Cisco IAD and begin to use the setup command facility, follow these steps: Step 1 Set up the hardware as described in the hardware installation documents for your Cisco IAD.
Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop. Any keys pressed during this time are Caution interpreted as the first command typed when the messages stop, which might cause the Cisco IAD to power off and start over. It takes a few minutes for the messages to stop.

If you answer no to this message, you are prompted to terminate AutoInstall. AutoInstall is a Note procedure that configures a new Cisco IAD based on the configuration of an existing Cisco IAD. If you terminate AutoInstall, you enter the Cisco IOS software CLI.
From this point on in the setup process, the prompts you see vary, depending on the interface cards installed in your Cisco IAD. The Cisco IAD2435 router is a fixed-configuration router and does not support interface cards. Note The following sections provide examples of the setup steps for cards. See the sections appropriate to your Cisco IAD.

Cisco IAD does not have a valid configuration file stored in NVRAM (for instance, when you add a new interface), the Cisco IAD tries to run AutoInstall. It can take several minutes for the Cisco IAD to determine that AutoInstall is not connected to a remote TCP/IP host.
This is mainly for voice applications to be configured easily after power up. Cisco recommends that when you power up the system, make sure that network clocks are configured properly for the applications to work, with consideration for the specific network system requirements.

This appendix describes the ROM monitor (also called the bootstrap program), which is the firmware that runs when you power on or restart the Cisco IAD2430 series integrated access device (IAD). During normal operation, the ROM monitor helps to initialize the processor hardware and boot the operating system software.
Step 5 Reboots the voice gateway with the new configuration reload register value. The voice gateway remains in ROM monitor and does not boot the Cisco IOS software. Example: As long as the configuration value is 0x0, you must VG# reload manually boot the operating system from the console.

The virtual configuration register is in nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) and has the same functionality as other Cisco routers. You can view or modify the virtual configuration register from either the ROM monitor or the operating system software. Within the ROM monitor, you can change the configuration register by entering the register value in hexadecimal format, or by allowing the ROM monitor to prompt you for the setting of each bit.
ROM monitor dnld command. Note If you are using a PC to download a Cisco IOS image over the router console port at 115,200 bps, ensure that the PC serial port is using a 16550 universal asynchronous transmitter/receiver (UART). If the PC serial port is not using a 16550 UART, we recommend using a speed of 38,400 bps or less when downloading a Cisco IOS image over the console port.
