Install DevonThink Pro Office from download on the website. After downloaded drag to the applications folder as normal. Then open Devon Think. Upon the first open it will ask you if you would like to install Devon Think’s Add-on’s and Extras. Uncheck all of these and then devonthink will open. Go ahead and enter your license in and test to make sure you can open a few different databases if you have them. This was all working great so I decided to see if I could take it step further.

For the most part, I use Devonthink to take scans of papers on my desk and place them into searchable groups. Its a giant filing cabinet on the computer for me. I like this process to be fast so I turn off the OCR part and then manually OCR and organize from the inbox at the end of the day. But without Abbyy FineReader installed I have no way of doing the conversions to OCR nor are the options even there on the context menus. So the next thing I tried is to install the PDF Services Scripts. This worked without a hitch. I then restarted DevonThink and installed ABBYY as the only option in the Install Add-ons (Under Help Install Add-ons). I don’t really use the sorter and turn it off anyway so I didn’t need to install it, and I also don’t use the Mail built into OSX so I didn’t install that plug-in either. After this I went back and installed Application Scripts and DevonThink Pro Scripts. Both worked but the program does hang when trying to print a pdf directly to devonthink from Safari. I can live with this.

I haven’t tried scanning from my s1500m yet but this is next on my list. I hope this helps someone get to your files at least for reference purposes.

Lets start by learning how to connect to the router

First we need to connect our console cable from our computer to our console port on the router. After this we will need to use some serial communication terminal program to communicate with the router. If you use windows I recommend you use Putty or HyperTerminal. If you are a linux/OS X user then it is best to use Minicom (through terminal). Once connected you will probably need to hit enter a few times where you will see a screen as follows:

Note that Router is the default and will be replaced with the hostname of the router once configured. Also note that there are both privileged users and unprivileged users. Unprivileged users are represented with the greater than symbol (>) where privileged users are represented with the hash symbol (#). Once a user is privileged they will have access to make changes on the router and see more details on configuration.

Now that we are connected to the router and have a basic of what we should see lets look at a few simple commands:

The enable command lets a non-privileged user become a privileged user. If not enable password is set this change will happen instantly, otherwise a password will be required. While non-privileged users can do basic things such as ping and telnet, to gain the full power of the router requires privileged access.

Now we can look at the simple configuration commands we should start with on a new router:

As you can see the config command allows us to configure the cisco router, but requires an option of where we are configuring from. Since we are logged in via terminal we will want to type terminal at this point. The first configuration value issued to the router is the hostname configuration. Here we simply are naming our router to “myrouter”. Next we type exit to exit the configuration and enable the changes made on our router. Until this point nothing is actually committed to running-config. Shortcuts are very valuable time savers in IOS. Lets look at the same configuration change with a few shortcuts enabled.

Note that the config t takes the place of the config and terminal question. We then exit to the parent mode of the router by typing [CTRL] + Z in the config mode. This will take us to the parent mode where exit will take us to the mode under the current mode we are in (more on this later).

Now lets look at the current configuration of our router:

This will show the current configuration that is running in memory. We can also look at the configuration that is loaded upon reboot of the router by issuing the following command:

These commands show every configuration that has been issued to your router at this time (Whether by factory default or by user). Included in the next code segment are a few useful commands to view information on your router and network:

The first command here is a way to get an idea of how much CPU usage the router is currently running at. You can also do show proc memory to get memory usage. The second command shows us our interfaces that are connected and configured in the cisco. show ip route simply shows us routing and gateway information. We will sometimes see what is known as the gateway of last resort here. This is a simple gateway that applies to everything that isn’t applied above it. On simple networks this will be shown as Gateway of last resort is 0.0.0.0 to network 0.0.0.0 meaning that all other traffic is forwarded to the default gateway. the last command allows us to look at connections to the router via arp table inquiries. This is good for not only seeing ip addresses but also MAC addresses and to what interface the device is connected to. For a full list of commands or subcommands you can type ? or show ?.

Inside Terminal Configuration

We will being our configuration of the router by doing basic tasks. Let us start by turning on telnet service, turning off httpd service (which is pretty much useless), adding a username, and adding a ip address so that we can remotely manage the router.
Before we begin, there are 4 basic things to know about issuing cisco commands inside of the config terminal:

Commands are issued simply by typing them into the terminal.
Commands are deleted from the configuration by typing no followed by the command
[Ctrl] + Z (^Z) will exit to the parent mode and activate any commands you have issued. Where exit will only exit the current config zone
int (the shortcut for interface), and line commands will take you inside sub-configuration sections.

Note on newer cisco IOS versions transport input telnet ssh is acceptable as well which will enable ssh and telnet services (or you could leave out telnet in the case of only allowing ssh access). As you can see we also configurated 2 ip addresses. One Secondary and one Primary. We could turn the secondary off by issuing the no ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 secondary command. We also turned off httpd access via the no ip http server command. You also see we issue a no shutdown on FastEthernet0 to turn the device on. You should now be able to telnet to your system via the ip address 172.16.1.1 (provided you are on the same network) with the username cpierce and the password cisco1

We will now take what we’ve learned and put it to practical use by configuring the following network:
Our ISP gives us the IP address of 1.2.3.4 as our public IP address. We want to use Network Address Translation (NAT) to share this public internet connection with our local area network 172.16.1.1/16 (255.255.0.0). We will now use our newly installed cisco router from above to implement this routing. This will assume all steps above have been taken:

We can now assign any device connected to FastEthernet0 an ip of 172.16.x.x and should have Internet access out the Serial0 interface.

I headed up to University and then took 1st street for my last jog home. I came over a hill and there were several cars lined up below waiting on someone to make a left turn. I couldn’t stop in time and I rear ended a lady. She then rear ended a lady and the domino effect began. I don’t know what was going on at that moment to make me not stop in time but none the less I did run into her and I do admit to that. I got out and made sure everyone was okay and only about 500 people that I knew passed and saw me standing out on the road. Attached are picture of my car that is now being towed to Dallas for a tear down. Estimates will then be provided and they will tell me if the vehicle is totaled or not.

On the bright side I had a wonderful group of people over for my birthday last night and I ended up being able to take my mind off of the event for the most part.
