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

1

Install 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.

2

Start 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.

3

After 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.

4

If 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.

5

If 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.
