Introduction to Design
High-Volume Deployment
Cisco 800 Fast Step was developed to serve end users worldwide. High-volume deployment provides a
service provider the ability to customize the application for a narrower group of end users, reducing the
potential for error and the time required to configure a router.
Configuration File Discovery
Setup comes with a number of CFG files, or you can supply the end user with your own versions of the
configuration files. You can create a custom version of Cisco 800 Fast Step that automatically includes
the files when the end user installs the applications.
During the installation of Cisco 800 Fast Step software, the end users select their country from a list.
This displays Cisco 800 Fast Step software in the correct language. Setup also looks in the
ServiceProvider directory for a matching country subdirectory that contains at least one Cisco 800 Fast
Step CFG or TPL file.
If the end-user selected country matches the directory, the end user is forced to the Service Selection
window. The end user selects the CFG or TPL file and, depending on the file content, responds to
prompts that complete the configuration. If the end user selected a CFG file, the connections are also
tested.
If the country selected when the software was installed does not have a companion country directory or
there are no CFG or TPL files in the directory, the end user can select a configuration file from another
location or use the Setup wizard to build a configuration.
Customizing the Cisco Fast Step Wizard
You can customize Setup for the end user by using the following techniques:
•
•
•
OL-10373-02
Develop a CFG file named autoload.CFG. Setup uses this file as the default configuration when
Setup is launched.
Develop a CFG or TPL file and include that file in the ServiceProvider directory. Setup discovers
the file and automatically displays the windows that lead the end user to download the file.
Develop a CFG or TPL file and provide it to the end user on a floppy disk or some other medium.
Include instructions for the end user to browse the file into Setup, complete the configuration, and
test the connections.
