Chapter 5 Using Recovery Mode - Nortel 600 Installing

Chapter 5
Using recovery mode
The Contivity 600 does not have a floppy disk drive, so the software image is built
into the onboard flash operating system. Recovery mode on the Contivity 600 is
also built into the flash operating system. You use recovery mode to restore
software to a Contivity 600.
Some Web pages refer to "the recovery diskette" or "the diskette." In the case of
the Contivity 600, "the diskette" is a virtual diskette. In all other respects, recovery
mode on a Contivity 600 works the same way that it does on Contivity gateways
that have floppy disk drives.
To enter recovery mode:

Note: In addition, the Contivity 600 does not have a Reset button. If you
need to reset a Contivity 600, you remove power from the gateway and
then restore power.
Plug in the console cable, the LAN 0 cable, and the DC input cable from the
Contivity 600 power supply (see
Start HyperTerminal
and connect to the console port of the Contivity 600.
Apply AC power to the power supply.
Press the RC (recovery) switch on the rear of the Contivity 600 by inserting a
paper clip into the hole marked "RC" on the rear of the chassis (see
on page 23). The RC switch is located between the LAN 0 cable and the DC
input cable.
