Performing Incremental Device Installations

To install additional device support either install from the CiscoWorks Windows CD-ROM or download additional device files, or packages, from CCO.

To locate the icon in Windows 95, select the Taskbar Start menu and point to the Programs folder CiscoWorks Windows. In Windows NT, locate the program folder for CiscoWorks Windows.

Step 2 Select the device packages you want to load; then click OK.

Step 3 The Setup complete dialog box appears. Select your option; then click Finish.

Installing from CCO

Device support files for CiscoView are in the Software Image Library Enterprise Network Management section on CCO and on the Cisco FTP server.

Note Additional information can be viewed that contains important information including devices supported in the file, platforms supported, and Cisco IOS software versions supported on CiscoView. If the package does not meet your needs, cancel the download and refer back to CCO for the correct file.

Before you download the files from the Software Image Library, do the following:

Step 1 Create a cv_pkgs folder in the CiscoWorks Windows folder on your PC. This is a temporary folder.

Step 2 Download the device package tar file from CCO into the cv_pkgs directory.
