In most cases IOSLoaderPro properly determines the ip address of the computer to be connected to the cisco, but if it fails you can specify it manually. Use the field "filesystem" to choose where the new IOS should be installed.
Checkbox "Check if the new IOS image size suits the router" tells the program to compare the amount of space on the router's flash and the size of the new IOS image, and prevents you from uploading an invalid image.
CheckBox "Restore files which were erased" tells the program to put all the files backuped back to the router, after new IOS image is uploaded.
CheckBox "Integrate new IOS into the configuration file" tells the program to patch your running config, so it will boot the new IOS.
Enable CheckBox "Reload the router" if you want your router to be reloaded after installation process. Be carefull the program will copy the running-config to the startup-config.
We recommend your to keep all the checkboxes enabled.
All files will be backuped into the "Backup" folder which is located in the IOSLoaderPro's directory.

When everything seems to be configured, specify your cisco ip address, remote and local user names and push the start button.
You will gain all information you need about the installation process from the statusbar located on the bottom of the program form.

First of all the program backups your old IOS image and all other files, including running-config and startup-config. After that you are prompted to choose the new IOS image(which you have downloaded from the cisco homepage). The program checks if the new IOS suits your router. If it does, the new IOS image is uploaded to the router. Then IOSLoaderPro restores all the files, excluding the old IOS. Then it patchs the running-config to set the router to boot the new image. At the end it prompts you to reload the router for the router to run the new Cisco IOS software image.
