This release note describes the features and caveats for Cisco 700 series router software Release 4.4.1 and earlier. For complete software documentation for Cisco 700 series router software, refer to the Cisco 700 Series Router Command Reference.
This document has the following sections:
This release includes the feature enhancements to support Common ISDN Application Programmers Interface (CAPI) and Magic Number for Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) security.
Cisco 700 series router software Release 4.4.1 supports the following routers:
| Cisco 760 Series | Cisco 770 Series |
|---|---|
Cisco 761M | Cisco 771M |
Cisco 765M | Cisco 775M |
This section describes how to save the current configuration and update the router software image. The default image for Cisco 761, Cisco 765, Cisco 771, and Cisco 775 routers is NET3, IR. The default image for all other Cisco 700 series routers is US.
Images for software Release 4.0(1) and higher require 1.5 MB of dynamic RAM (DRAM) and 0.5 MB of Flash memory. If you do not have enough DRAM to support the software, the router does not boot. Refer to the "ISDN Support Services" section for instructions on checking the amount of DRAM. Instructions for increasing the amount of DRAM are in the Cisco 700 Series Router Installation Guide.
 |
Note To upgrade your Cisco 700 series router to use software Release 4.4.1, you must have an "M" series router (1 MB Flash memory and 1.5 MB DRAM). The model number is located on the label on the bottom of your router. |
X.25 images require 1.5 MB of DRAM and 1 MB of Flash memory. If you do not have enough Flash memory to run X.25 images, the router must be replaced with a Cisco M-series router. The label on the bottom of the router identifies the device as an M-series router. You can display the amount of Flash memory by using the version command. Refer to the Cisco 700 Series Router Command Reference for information about this command.
The following example saves the configuration to a file by using Hyper Terminal for Windows, a common terminal-emulation software program:
Host> Upload
Step 2 From the Transfer menu, select Receive Text File.
Step 3 In the Receive Text dialog box, specify a filename to save the configuration in, and select the directory where you want to save the file.
Step 4 Click OK.
Step 5 Return to the terminal emulation program, and press Return to execute the command. The configuration is saved to the file specified in Step 3.
Step 6 Click Stop when the configuration has finished uploading. You are ready to download the software.
Table 1 list the filename and memory required. The image is for use with both Cisco 760 and Cisco 770 series routers.

Step 3 Click OK.
Step 4 From the Transfer menu, select Send Text File.
Step 5 Select the file to be loaded, such as the one you saved in Step 2 in the "Saving a Configuration" section.
Step 6 Click OK. The parameters are transferred to your router.
Step 7 If errors occur during the transfer, enter the set default command, increase the delay between lines, and repeat the procedure for loading the configuration, beginning with Step 1.
This section describes the applications supported by the Cisco 700 series router software Release 4.4.1.
The CiscoSecure Authentication Agent application (available for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0) simplifies the use of token authentication over ISDN. There are two modes: single authentication and double authentication.
The Cisco 700 series router operates in single authentication mode when Token Authentication Support (TAS) is enabled. The CiscoSecure Authentication Agent application is available on the Cisco Web site. See the "Cisco Connection Online" section in this document for more information.
Cisco 700 series router software Release 4.0(1) and higher supports the Cisco 700 Fast Step software. Cisco 700 Fast Step software simplifies the setup, configuration, and monitoring of Cisco 700 series routers.
Cisco 700 Fast Step software runs on Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT systems. It is provided with your router on the Cisco Fast Step CD-ROM. The application is also available on Cisco Connection Online. See the "Cisco Connection Online" section in this document for more information.
RVS-COM software makes it possible to use your ISDN router with a PC for general ISDN communications including fax transmission, file transfer and telephony. The router can be used from several different client-PCs at the same time; for example, one PC sending a fax while a second PC is transferring files.
RVS-COM Lite is a general ISDN-CAPI 2.0 driver for Windows 95/98/NT, which can be used by different ISDN communication programs (such as AVM Fritz, Symantec WinFax, T-Online, or RVS-COM) to access ISDN using the router. The RVS-COM Lite software has to be installed on each PC.
The installation instructions for your RVS-COM software are provided in the readme file on the RVS-COM CD. The following sections provide instructions for using RVS-COM with America Online (AOL), T-Online, and CompuServe.
Step 2 Select ISDN RVS-CommPort>1.20 Emulation X.75 64000.
Step 3 Enter the COM port for the RVS-CommCenter (COM3 or COM4).
Step 4 Enter the phone number 01914 (Germany).
Step 2 Select modem ELSA MicroLink ISDN/TLpro.
Step 3 Click Erweitert.
Step 4 Enter the COM port for the RVS-CommCenter (COM3 or COM4).
Step 5 Select Datenaustausch über Windows-COM (not INT14).
Step 2 Choose Dial-Up Networking.
Step 3 Select the RVS ISDN X.75 transparent modem from the Phonebook entry to dial list.
The enhancements offered by Cisco 700 series router software Release 4.4.1 are described in this section. The enhancements are as follows:
The Common Application Programing Interface (CAPI) is an application programming interface standard used to access ISDN equipment connected to Basic Rate Interfaces (BRIs) and Primary Rate Interfaces (PRIs). It provides a standardized interface that allows application programs to use ISDN drivers and controllers. One application can use one or more controllers. Several applications can share one or more controllers.
It provides a selection mechanism that supports applications that use different protocols at different protocol levels and standardized network access by performing an abstraction from different protocol variables. All connection-related data, such as connection state, display messages, and so on, is available to the applications at any time.
Figure 1 shows how CAPI connects applications, drivers, and controllers.
The framing protocols supported by CAPI include High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), HDLC inverted, bit transparent (speech), and V.110 synchronous/asynchronous.
CAPI integrates the following data link and network layer protocols:
CAPI includes support for the following features:
Figure 2 shows the components of the CAPI implementation on the router.
The router supports the ISDN Device Control Protocol (ISDN-DCP) from RVS-COM. ISDN-DCP allows a workstation on the LAN or router to use legacy dial computer telephony integration (CTI) applications. These applications include fax transmitting and receiving and placing and receiving phone calls.
Using ISDN-DCP, the router acts as a DCP server. By default, the router listens for DCP messages on TCP port number 2578 (the Internet-assigned number for RVS-COM DCP) on its LAN port.
When the router receives a DCP message from a DCP client (connected to the LAN port of the router), the router processes the message and acts on it. The actions include sending confirmations to the DCP clients and sending ISDN packets through the BRI port of the router.
When the router receives packets on its BRI port destined for one of the DCP clients, the router formats the packet as a DCP message and sends it to the corresponding client. The router supports all the DCP messages specified in the ISDN-DCP specifications defined by RVS-COM.
The router provides two 64-kbps B channels to CAPI clients. Each B channel can be configured separately to work in either HDLC mode or bit transparent mode. For CAPI support, the higher layer protocols (B2 through B7) are transparent to the applications using these B channels.
The ISDN Core Engine of RVS-COM supports the following B channel protocols:
CAPI support is available only for the ISDN switch type Net3.
ISDN-DCP supports CAPI and non-CAPI applications. Applications are supported that use one or two B channels for data transfer, different HDLC-based protocols, Euro File transfer, or fax G4; also supported are applications that send bit-transparent data, such as A/Mu law audio, fax G3, analog modem, or analog telephones.
The commands described in this section have been added to the user interface of the router to support CAPI. Note that CAPI runs on a remote network device other than the router; the Cisco 700 series router enables remote CAPI applications.
To display diagnostic information about the Device Control Protocol (DCP) and about DCP-to-host communication, use the diag rcapi command.
DIag RCapi ON | OFf Syntax Description
ON Turn on the diagnostic display. OFf Turn off the diagnostic display.
Default
Off
Command Mode
System or profile mode
Usage Guidelines
The diag rcapi command displays all of the DCP messages that are transmitted between the Cisco 700 series router and the DCP client.
DCP: fmt1:fmt2:Message
If displayed, fmt1 indicates the session identifier, and fmt2 indicates the controller or connection identifier.
Example
The following example shows output from the diag rcapi on command:
Host:2503> diag rcapi on
DCP:Received DCP_CAPABILITIES_REQ DCP: DCPVersion = 256 DCP: MaxSessionCount = 100 DCP: ManufactureId = 268435457 DCP: DeviceId = 1 DCP: DeviceVersion = 256 DCP:Sending DCP_CAPABILITIES_CONF DCP:Received DCPSC_START_REQ DCP: SessionMode = 0 DCP: SessionTimeout = 5 DCP: SessionIndex = 6 DCP:New Session Accepted with ID: 16777224 DCP:16777224:Sending DCPSC_START_CONF DCP:16777224:interval = 250000 DCP:16777224:33554433:Received DCPCC_LISTEN_REQ DCP:Sending DCPCC_LISTEN_CONF DCP:16777224:ListenMode = OFF DCP:16777224:Received DCPCC_CALL_REQ DCP:16777224:DeviceMode DCP: Framing HDLC DCP: CalledPartyNumber 4805010 DCP:16777224:ConnectionId allocated is 50332929 DCP:16777224:50332929:Sending DCPCC_CALL_CONF
