~On a 2500 -- Before you begin, set the config register to
~0x2101 to enable
~write access to the flash memory(otherwise it is READ ONLY).
~The router will
~reload into the 2500's boot-image to allow write access to
~flash..then you
~can use the instructions below...
~Use this link to operate HyperTerm if you're not familiar with it..
~http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/130/xmodem_generic.html
~
~This is the link below for 2500

~Installing the Router Software by Using the Console or Auxiliary Port
~This section explains how to use the copy xmodem flash command
~to install
~the router software from the CD-ROM onto the router.
~
~
~---------------------------------------------------------------
~-------------
~----
~Note The transfer takes place only on the port where you enter
~the command.
~If you download the software by using the console, all console
~output is
~discarded for the duration of the transfer. You can only
~download files to
~the router; you cannot copy files from the router. We
~recommend using the
~auxiliary port for this type of software download, because the
~auxiliary
~port has hardware flow control and full modem control. In addition, the
~transfer does not occupy the system console, so it is free for
~other uses.
~---------------------------------------------------------------
~-------------
~----
~
~The following example shows how to use the copy xmodem flash
~command on a
~Cisco 2500 series router:
~
~Router# copy xmodem flash
~
~ **** WARNING ****
~
~ x/ymodem is a slow transfer protocol limited to the
~current speed
~
~ settings of the auxiliary/console ports. The use of the auxilary
~
~ port for this download is strongly recommended.
~
~ During the course of the download no exec input/output will be
~
~ available.
