- 1). Download and install HyperTerminal to your computer. HyperTerminal was included in Windows systems up until Windows Vista, but now you must install HyperTerminal to your system to install a Cisco router for DSL. HyperTerminal can be downloaded from the website of the manufacturer, Hilgraeve (see Resources).
- 2). Launch HyperTerminal on the computer. To launch, go to “Start > All Programs,” click the “HyperTerminal” folder and then click the program name. When HyperTerminal opens, type a name for the session, click “OK” and then go to “File > Properties.” In the “Connect Using” section, click on the computer port where you plugged in the Cisco router.
- 3). Press the “Configure” button. Enter “9600” into the “Bits per second” field, “8” in “Data bits,” “None” in “Parity,” “1” in “Stop bits” and “None” in “Flow Control.” Click “OK.”
- 4). Go to the “Call” menu and choose “Disconnect.” Then, return to the “Call” menu and click “Call.” Keep pressing the “Enter” key until a prompt appear in the HyperTerminal screen.
- 5). Type the following commands at the prompt, one at a time: “Router#configure terminal,” “Router(config)#service timestamps debug datetime msec,” “Router(config)#service timestamps log datetime msec,” and “Router (config)#end.” Between each command, press “Enter” to bring up a new command line. This configures the timestamp.
- 6). Turn off the logging console during the configuration process. To turn off the console, type “Router#configure terminal” and then press “Enter,” type “Router(config)#no logging console,” press “Enter” again,” and then type “Router(config)#end” and press “Enter.”
- 7). Enter the following prompts, which create flexibility in configuration options, according to the Cisco website: “Router#configure terminal,” “Router(config)#ip routing,” “Router(config)#ip subnet-zero,” “Router(config)#ip classless” and “Router(config)#end.”
- 8). Send the commands to configure the point-to-point protocol parameters for the Cisco router: “Router#configure terminal,” “Router(config)#vpdn enable,” “Router(config)#no vpdn logging,” “Router(config)#vpdn-group pppoe,” “Router(config-vpdn)#request-dialin,” “Router(config-vpdn-req-in)#protocol pppoe” and “Router(config-vpdn-req-in)#end.”
- 9). Create an IP address on the Cisco DSL network by entering the following command into HyperTerminal: “Router(config-if)#ip address <ip address> <subnet mask>.” Configure the virtual circuit, according to the Cisco page, with the following commands: “Router#configure terminal,” “Router(config)#interface atm 0,” “Router(config-if)#pvc <vpi/vci>,” “Router(config-if-atm-vc)#pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1,” “Router(config-if-atm-vc)#no shut,” “Router(config-if-atm-vc)#end.”

Set up the Dialer connections with a static IP address for the router. To setup the connections, enter the following commands: “Router(config-if)#ip nat outside,” “Router(config-if)#encapsulation ppp,” “Router(config-if)#dialer pool 1,” “Router(config-if)#ppp chap hostname <username>,” “Router(config-if)#ppp chap password <password>,” “Router(config-if)#ppp pap sent-username <username> password <password>,” “Router(config-if)#end, “Router#configure terminal, “Router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer1” and “Router(config)#end.” - 11
Turn the logging console back on and save the changes that you made. To turn on the console and save changes, enter the commands “Router#configure terminal,” “Router(config)#logging console,” “Router(config)#end,” “Router#write memory.”
