Initial Configuration Procedures

This section describes how to prepare the Cisco IAD2430 IAD series IAD to perform basic communication functions. You may initially configure your router by using the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) or by using the setup command facility. To create the initial configuration, the setup command facility prompts you for basic information about your router and network.

Note If you ordered your Cisco IAD2430 series IAD with the Simple Network-Enabled Auto-Provision (SNAP) option, no on-site configuration is required. If the Cisco IAD is connected to the WAN, the SNAP application downloads and installs the applicable files, and configures the Cisco IAD automatically. No additional configuration should be required. For additional information about SNAP, see the Simple Network-EnabledAuto-Provisioning for Cisco 2420 Series IADs feature module at the following URL:
