Preparing to Install Cisco Subscriber Registration Center

Preparing to Install Cisco Subscriber Registration Center

Cisco Subscriber Registration Center (CSRC) is an integrated suite of software modules that allows large-scale configuration and management of broadband modems. Leveraging the extensibility of Cisco Network Registrar, CSRC enables and administers subscriber self-registration. The directory-enabled architecture of CSRC allows it to integrate with LDAP version 3 directory servers.

CSRC Network Integration

CSRC consists of the following software modules:

This guide does not discuss the installation and use of AR. For information about AR, see the AR documentation included in the CSRC installation kit.

The distribution media for CSRC consists of the following set of CD-ROMs:

The CSRC CD-ROM is assigned the volume name csrc_1_0_2. On Solaris, the Volume Management daemon automatically mounts on the /cdrom/csrc_1_0_2 directory.


Note Access Registrar is required only for Telco return environments. For information on installing AR, see the AR documentation provided in the CSRC documentation kit.

Distribution Media Content

Table 1-3 lists the files and directories contained beneath the root directory of the CSRC CD-ROMs.

Electronic Distribution

The CSRC electronic distribution for Solaris is a gzipped tar file called csrc_1_0_2-solaris.tar.gz, where 1_0_2 is the version number of the product (for example, 1.0(2)). The Solaris electronic distribution includes the following files and directories, also included in the CSRC directory layout:

Software License Keys

During the installation of Cisco Subscriber Registration Center (CSRC), Cisco Network Registrar (CNR), and Access Registrar (AR), the installer asks you to enter the appropriate license key. Each key is available in printed format in the installation kits.

If you obtain an electronic distribution of CSRC, you can also obtain an evaluation license key from the CSRC download site.


Note If Cisco is installing CSRC at your site, Cisco provides the required license keys.
