3.      Short installation:

	Basically there are several ways to load a new firmware into
	a LANCOM router. The easiest method is to use the ELSA 
        LANconfig tool that is shipped with your LANCOM router. 
	You can simply start an	upload from the "Edit" menu.

	The alternative method is to use a standard terminal program
	with X-modem support. The complete installation instructions 
	can be found in the user manual, chapter 1.3. 
	This is only a SHORT reference.

        a.) Connect your MicroLink LANCOM MPR router with the
            serial connection cable in the package to a serial
            COM Port of your computer or laptop.

        b.) Install and start any available terminal program, which
            supports XMODEM file upload, for example the Telix 
            terminal program which is shipped together with your 
            router.

        c.) Configure your terminal program for the selected 
            COM-Port and a bitrate up to 57600 bit/s. Login to the 
            outband configuration of the MicroLink LANCOM MPR
            (please refer to the manual).

        d.) Enter the command "do /firmware/firmware-upload" or 
            "do /fi/fi" for short. After the confirming message the
            router is ready to upload the new firmware.

        e.) Start the XMODEM upload process with your terminal 
            program. Please take care that you are uploading the
            correct file:

            LC_MPREU.230  Version 2.30 for MicroLink LANCOM MPR
                          (english)
            LC_MPRGU.230  Version 2.30 for MicroLink LANCOM MPR
                          (german)

            Please note that a MicroLink LANCOM can NOT be upgraded 
            to a MicroLink LANCOM MPR by simply uploading the 
            firmware files LC_MPRxU.230.

        f.) After terminating the upload process and automatic boot 
            up your MicroLink LANCOM MPR will be ready to use the 
            new firmware immediately.

4.      Important Notes:

        Release notes can be found on this disk within the file 
        HISTORY.TXT or on the ELSA Web Server.

	In addition there are some usefull utilities for the 
        ELSA LANCOM routers, e.g. a TFTP-Client for Microsoft 
        Windows.

	For the configuration of ELSA LANCOM routers we recommend
        ELSA LANconfig. This program can be used with Windows 95
        and Windows NT and will be delivered with your LANCOM MPR.
        The newest version can be found on the ELSA Web Server.
