If this is a new cisco router and has an unconfigured serial port I suggest you put this on to another side of an active serial link and power on the router. The router will configure itself using slarp process it will get an incremental ip address.
For eg: R1 R2 (damaged one) S0:-172.16.10.1/30 ------------------Serial link---------------------- S0:- 172.16.10.2/30 ( it will get this by slarp process). U cud try telnet into this ip address. I am assuming that the router is configured with basics.

[7:59233] Hello folks, A friend of mine have a serius problem with a Cisco 1720 router. This router has the console port broken, it doesn't work. He usually get into the router using the aux port in order to configure the device.They tried to download a new config using Cisco Config Maker and downloading it by de aux port. The result is that now the aux port is closed and the Ethernet port doesn't respond anymore. We don't know what happened with Cisco Config Maker, the real important thing is that we need to recover the access to the router. We cannot use the console port because it is broken, the aux port is closed (I guess that Cisco Config Maker closed it by default), and the ethernet is not responding (maybe Cisco Works put it in shut??). All the doors are closed!!! There is no time, we need to install this box this week!!! Help! We have read the cisco cco and the 1720 has a dimm memory and a miniflash memory, (please correct us if we are wrong). We suppose that the miniflash memory stores the config (it works like nvram too?) and if we can open the box and replace this mini-flash with another one maybe it will work again... We really appreciate your help, and my friend will pay one beer if you can send us any idea... Very important: Please send your reply with a copy to these address: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] because we have a problem with our mail...
