Steps to install the software are as follows:
  1. Copy the kit onto to your system as detailed below.
  2. If you install the Telesaving Web tools we recommend that you use a reputable Web server on your system, such as the Microsoft (R) Peer Web Server for NT. Your Web server should be configured with a /scripts directory from which CGI programs can be run.
    A sample web server is included in this kit, however it is not intended to provide equivalent functionality and may not perform properly on all platforms. To install the sample web server, choose "Install Web server" on the Select Components page during the installation.
  3. Run the install program. The software will self extract and begin the installation.
  4. If you chose to install the Telesaving Web tools, then, following installation you may want to edit local web pages to include cross references to the file "Telesaving.html" that the Router Configurator will maintain. This will be in the directory you specified in the "WEB Configuration" installation page.

The Router Configurator is now ready to use.

  • Once installed you can configure systems. If you had not already read the release notes you should do so to make yourself aware of issues that may affect the operation of this software.
Important Note

When creating new configurations the Distributed Routing Software version is defaulted to v3.0. Please ensure that this is correct for the target router as configurations generated for v3.0 routers may not function correctly if loaded on a router running an earlier release of the Distributed Routing Software.

If the target router is running V2.0 (or earlier) Distributed Routing Software then either set the "Software Version" field correctly in the new router dialog screen, or change it using the "Modify->Router Software" option on the Router menu.
