Configuring the Router

4-2

Using the Router Configurator to Configure the Router

The following steps are required to configure your router with the clearVISN

Router Configurator.

Step Action
1Install the clearVISN Router Configurator on the PC that you plan to use
for configuring the routers on your network. The software can be found
on the CD that accompanies the hardware.
2Start the clearVISN Router Configurator and prepare your
configuration. For additional information on the clearVISN Router
Configurator, please refer to the clearVISN Router Configurator User’s
Guide.
3After your configuration is complete, you must start the BOOTP server
on your PC. The BOOTP server is on the START-PROGRAMS-
clearVISN Router Configurator program group.
4If your router is direct from the factory and never had a configuration
loaded into it, it is now ready to perform the EasyStart function.
If your router has a configuration in it that you want to override, you
must re-initialize it to factory defaults before EasyStart can facilitate
loading the new configuration from the clearVISN Router Configurator.
5If you are configuring the router in a LAN environment, you can now
connect it to the same network as your PC and power it up.
If you are going to load your router over a wide-area network, refer to
the clearVISN Router Configurator User’s Guide for more information
on how to configure it in that environment.
