These release notes discuss the Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)MA4 feature packs for the Cisco MC3810 multiservice access concentrator. These are the product numbers for the supported feature packs:
These release notes discuss the following topics:
This section explains how to use this document, describes feature pack components, and has tables that define the aspects of a feature pack.
The tables in these release notes contain details about the Cisco feature packs. Use these tables to perform the following tasks before loading a software image onto a router:
1. Use Table 1, "Cisco Feature Pack Image Filenames and Memory Requirements," to identify your feature pack and the memory required for your feature set, based on the image you load.
2. Use Table 2, "Cisco MC3810 Default Memory and Upgrade Options," to check the memory required for your feature set, and determine the factory-default memory on the router and the available memory upgrades.
3. Use Table 3, "Cisco IOS Feature Set for the Cisco MC3810," to identify the software image you want to load.
This section explains the following:
The heart of a Cisco IOS software feature pack is a CD-ROM that contains a software image and Router Software Loader (RSL), a Windows 95 application that loads the image onto the access server/router. Each Cisco IOS Release 11.3 feature pack CD-ROM contains one feature set. For users without Windows 95, images can also be loaded with a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server application, as explained in these release notes.
Each Cisco IOS Release 11.3 software feature pack box contains the following:
This section includes two tables:
You can use Table 1 to identify the memory required for your configuration based on the image you run. You can then check this against Table 2 to determine how much memory is available on the router as the factory default and the upgrades that you can obtain to satisfy your requirements.

The Router Software Loader application contained on the feature pack CD-ROM is designed to work with a PC running Microsoft Windows 95. Refer to the booklet included with the CD-ROM for instructions to install the software images.
This section describes several solutions to problems you might encounter when using RSL. These solutions are additions to RSL's online help.
If you are unable to connect to your access server or router, this installation tip provides a possible recovery solution. If you are not experiencing a connection error, you can skip this section.
In some cases, you might receive the following error message while connecting to the target router:
"Failed to configure the router to enable the Cisco IOS software image and configuration file upload and download operations. You may want to check the router to make sure that the selected interface exists."
If you encounter this message, try increasing the Short Timeout value in the Options dialog box from 25 seconds, especially if one of the following situations applies:
In some cases, RSL is unable to restore the startup configuration. If this happens, take the following steps:
Step 1 Ensure that all cables are properly attached to both the router and the PC.
Step 2 Restart RSL and connect using the Preconfigured router option.
Step 3 When asked if you want to overwrite the existing startup configuration file, choose No.
Step 4 When asked if you want to continue, choose Yes.
Step 5 When connected, select Download Router Configuration in the Router Software Loader dialog box.
Step 6 Select the appropriate file, and click Copy configuration to the router's nonvolatile memory.
The router should now contain the startup configuration it had before the initial RSL connection.
Step 7 Exit RSL.
The following information about RSL operations can help you with the installation process:
The RSL is designed to work with a PC running Microsoft Windows 95 and is the recommended method for downloading software to the router. The booklet included with the RSL CD-ROM explains how to perform this simple install process; however, an alternative is available for installing router software, using a TFTP server application.
Use this TFTP server application method as an alternative to using the RSL to install the router software from the CD-ROM. You can perform this procedure using a PC (running Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 3.1), a Macintosh, or a UNIX system. You can use either the copy tftp flash or copy rcp flash command to download the router software to the router.
First, obtain a TFTP application or a remote copy protocol (rcp) application to set up your computer as a TFTP server or an rcp server. Use the RSL or the TFTP server included on the feature pack CD-ROM to install the router software only if you are using a PC running Windows 95. For other operating systems, a number of TFTP or rcp applications are available from independent software vendors or available as shareware from public sources on the World Wide Web.
Step 1 Install any TFTP server application on the PC. (A PC application is included on the feature pack CD-ROM for Microsoft Windows 95 only.)
Step 2 Launch the TFTP server application on the PC, usually by double-clicking the application icon or its *.exe filename.
Step 3 Set up the PC as a TFTP server by using the TFTP server application setup or configuration facility.
Most TFTP server applications include a setup facility that allows you to specify the PC as a server. For example, from the TFTP menu of one application, you can select Settings to display a panel that includes a checkbox beside the word Server, which allows you to configure the local PC as a server.
The TFTP server also allows the selection of a root directory. You must select the directory in which the Cisco IOS files reside, for example, d:\cpswinst\images.
 | Caution Make sure you set up your local PC as a TFTP server. If you overlook this step, you cannot perform the copy procedure. This reminder also applies if you are using RCP instead of TFTP. |
Step 4 Establish a console session from your local PC (which is now configured as a TFTP server) to the Cisco router by using one of these methods:
| Caution Make sure your PC is set up to communicate with the connected LAN port on the router. |
Step 5 Connect your PC Ethernet port to the corresponding router LAN port. Use the 10BaseT crossover cable to connect to an Ethernet port. Use straight-through cables if you are connecting via a 10BaseT hub, a 100BaseT hub, or a Token Ring MAU.
Step 6 At the router prompt, enter enable and then the password:
Step 7 At the router prompt, enter the following command to copy the new software image from the PC CD-ROM drive to the router:
Router(config)# copy tftp flash
In the next series of steps, you download the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 image that you want installed on your router.
Step 8 When prompted, enter the IP address of your PC, as in the following example:
Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 131.108.1.1
This is the IP address of your local PC, not that of the router.
Step 9 When prompted, enter the filename of the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 image to be copied to the router, as in the following example:
Source file name? 51.binThis example specifies the DOS image name of the IP feature set for Cisco MC3810 (as shown in Table 1 in the section, "Cisco Feature Packs and Memory Requirements").
Step 10 In response to the destination address prompt, enter the destination UNIX image filename, and press Enter.
This is the name of the image file on the router, not the full path of the image on the CD-ROM attached to the PC. Refer to Table 1 in the section, "Cisco Feature Packs and Memory Requirements" for the UNIX image filename.
Destination file name [57139804.bin]? c3810-inr3-mz.113-1.MA4Step 11 Enter yes in response to the prompt asking if you want to erase the existing image copy resident in the router Flash memory before copying the new one:
Erase flash device before writing? [confirm] yes
The entire copying process takes several minutes and differs from network to network.
During the transfer process, the software displays messages indicating that it has accessed the file you have specified and is loading it.
The exclamation point (!) indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each exclamation point (!) indicates that ten packets have been transferred successfully. A checksum verification of the image occurs after the image is written to Flash memory.
Step 12 Enter the following commands to reset the configuration register to 0x2102:
Step 13 Enter the reload command to reload the router:
After reload is complete, the router should be running the desired Cisco IOS image. Use the show version command to verify.
