4 CONFIGURATION

	To configure CS/2500 and CS/2600 firmware settings, use the Firmware
	Configuration Utility. Firmware is preset at the factory for basic
	installations; in most cases you do not need to reconfigure it. This
	chapter describes how to make changes if necessary.
	For information on configuring communications server software, refer
	to the Multiprotocol Communications Server Operation Guide,
	Multiprotocol Communications Server Reference Guide, and software
	release notes.
	If you are booting your communications server from a diskette,
	software parameter values are stored on the diskette. 3Com recommends
	that you make a backup copy of your working diskette each time you
	modify software parameters. If for any reason the data in your current
	working diskette becomes corrupted, you can use the backup copy to
	restore the desired settings. For instructions for copying diskettes, refer
	to “Copying and Formatting Diskettes” on page 3-4.
Entering the	To use the Firmware Configuration Utility, you must place the

	operation and allows interaction only with the monitor command
	interface. After using the monitor, you must reboot the communications
	server to resume normal operation.

	refer to Appendix C, “Monitor Utility.”
