The Release Notes provide release highlights and important information related to this release that
should be reviewed before you begin the system’s installation and configuration.
The Release Notes are located on the CD as well as on the system’s FLASH file system.
The Release Notes on the CD are located in the REL_NOTE.TXT file. This file is a DOS text file you
can read on a DOS machine. Insert the CD into the drive, change to the proper directory, and enter
the following command at the DOS prompt:
[CD-ROM drive]:\[platform directory][ISDN standard directory][option directory]CSX1200>
type REL_NOTE.TXT | more
For example, if your CD-ROM is designated as drive D, you are installing is CSX1204, using US
ISDN standards and the IP/IPX option, you would use the following path:
D:\CSX1204\US\IPIPX> type REL_NOTE.TXT | more

There are two ways to set up a console connection. The first way is to simply connect up an ASCII
terminal to the console port on the back of the system. This method can only be used to configure
or manage the system. To install or upgrade system software, you must use the second method
described below.
The second way is to use a PC or workstation to connect to the system. The CyberSWITCH does
not have a CD-ROM drive. Therefore, you must upgrade or install the software through an
attached PC, UNIX workstation, or any device that meets the following requirements:
•
has a CD-ROM drive
•
provides an RS232 terminal program
•
has X-Modem communications capability (required for software upgrade only)
•
has ASCII transfer capability (required for SSB recovery)
Any computer or terminal that meets these requirements and connects to the administration port
on the system can operate as an administration console.
Using the provided RS232 null modem cable, attach an administration console to the system. The
administration port is a 9-pin, male RS232 serial adapter:
