Belle Systems Provisioning
The Belle System provisioning system allows a large number of routers to be installed by the users and
managed by Belle Systems software from the central site, as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
For this entire process to be executed from a CD-ROM that includes the Cisco 800 Fast Step software,
configuration, and Web pages requires that you do the following:
•
•
•
Cisco does not ask any license fees for making copies of Cisco 800 Fast Step, provided the standard
Cisco Systems licensing agreements are abided by.
Enabling Belle Systems Support
Belle System support loads the configuration from a remote server. The flag syntax is as follows:
[Belle Systems]
SetBelleSystemSupport=
If the flag value is set to 0 or blank, Belle Systems support is disabled.
If the flag value is set to 1, Belle Systems support is enabled.
OL-10373-02
Setup configures the PC as a DHCP client, the router as a DHCP server with PAT, and uses IPCP
to find the WAN address. This enables the router to connect to the registration server but nowhere
else.
Setup completes the configuration process and runs an installed Web browser that points to a local
HTML page or the Belle System remote registration page.
The users enter their Personal Identification Number (PIN) code, personal information, and, if the
router supports basic telephone service (POTS), the phone numbers of the attached telephone or
fax.
The registration server validates the PIN code and personal information, checks the Cisco IOS
software version (and, if necessary, downloads a new version), and the router configuration.
The router is rebooted. Changing the router configuration might change the dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP) pool addresses of the router, so the PC also must be rebooted to get
new IP addresses from the router. The final page of the registration server information tells the user
to reboot the PC.
Setup waits for a PC reboot, and, when it is successful, runs the Web browser, pointing to a local
HTML file placed in the Third Party Software directory or a URL that points to the registration
completion page. The remote page performs some background processing and logs the registration
information into the Belle Systems provisioning system.
Copy the directory structure of the Cisco 800 Fast Step CD to the hard drive where you are staging
the CD-ROM image.
Replace the autoload.CFG file in the disk1 directory with your customized version that uses the
same filename.
Place the local HTML pages into the Third Party Software directory. The Cisco 800 Fast Step
installation program automatically copies the contents of the source directory to the Third Party
Software directory on the hard disk, below the installation directory, normally
c:\program files\cisco systems\Fast Step ISDN\Third Party Software.
