2Preparing to Connect Your Cisco 1040

This section describes tasks that you must perform the first time you set up your network to support Cisco 1040 operations. If you have not already completed the following tasks, it is advisable to complete them so that your Cisco 1040 becomes fully operational minutes after you connect it.

Install and Configure Cisco Unified Service Monitor

Instructions for completing these tasks are available in User Guide for Cisco Unified Service Monitor and in Service Monitor online help. Using Service Monitor, perform the following tasks:

Set up Service Monitor. Among other parameters, you will specify a TFTP server.

Edit configuration files for Cisco 1040s.

Configure DHCP Server Option 150

Configure your DHCP server so that option 150 returns the IP address for the TFTP server and provides an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and, optionally, a DNS server for a Cisco 1040.

If you would like to configure a Cisco router as a DHCP server, see the following URL.
