Power-Up And Reset Process - Avaya 9601 Installing And Maintaining

Power-Up and Reset process

When you plug the deskphone set into the Ethernet wall jack and apply power, if applicable, the
following process takes place.
Note:
If the application has already been downloaded, the whole process takes
Note:
approximately 1 to 2 minutes after the deskphone is plugged in. For software
upgrades, including the Kernel/Root file and the application file download, the
process might take 5 - 10 minutes. The duration is based on LAN loading, how
many deskphones are being installed at once, and similar factors.
Do not unplug the power cord during the upgrade process.
1. The deskphone checks for the language file is use. If null, the deskphone displays English
text strings.
2. The boot programs check the Kernel/Root File System that has previously been marked as
the one to be activated to ensure that it has not become corrupted, and if it has not,
transfers control to a process in that file system. If that file system is corrupted, the boot
program checks the other Kernel/Root File System. If that file system is not corrupted, it is
marked as the one to be activated, the MIB value endptRFSINUSE is set to the name of the
Signed Kernel/Root Software Package that was used to install that file system, and control
is transferred to it. If both Kernel/Root File Systems are corrupted, processing halts. The
software checks whether a Signed Application/Library Software Package has been
previously downloaded, and if one is found, the Application Software Package and/or the
Library Software Package is installed if either has a different file name than the currently
installed version, replacing the existing corresponding files in the Application File System.
The downloaded Signed Application/Library Software Package is then deleted. If a new
Signed Application/Library Software Package is not found, the integrity of the application
files is checked. If they are corrupted, files from the Backup Package are installed, replacing
the corrupted files in the Application File System. Any time an Application Software
Package or a Library Software Package is installed, the MIB value endptAPPINUSE is set
to the file name of the Application Software Package that was installed. If the application
files are not corrupted, or after the Backup Package has been installed, control is
transferred to the application installed in the Application File System. While loading the
application files into volatile memory and as control is transferred to them, the MIB value
endptAPPINUSE is displayed on the bottom text line.
3. The internal clock/calendar is set to 0:00:00 Saturday, January 1, 2000 and started.
4. The deskphone activates the Ethernet line interface, the PC Ethernet jack, and dial pad
input to allow the invocation of procedures. The activation occurs as soon as possible after
power-up or a reset.
The deskphone displays the speed of the Ethernet interface in Mbps, that is,
10, 100, or 1000. The message No Ethernet displays until the software determines whether
the interface is 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000Mbps.
