5.12.3 Debugging the System

The D (Debug) command is only available to factory personnel with a password authorization
higher than "Superuser." It gives access to the system software coding.

5.12.4 Registering the System

The R (Registration) command allows a user with Operator or higher password authority to
change the system registration. The original registration is explained earlier in this chapter.
You must have this information to properly re-register the system. Do not use this command
during normal system operation.
The registration procedure consists of three steps. First, you must enter the vendor code. Then,
you must select the type of chassis used. Finally, confirmation of the proposed changes is
required (Y = yes, N = no).

5.12.5 Pre-TFTP Backup and Restore Preparation

To perform backup and restore uploads/downloads via the TFTP function, one of the
following three methods of connection to a Local Area Network (LAN) network must first be
selected.
1. The first and preferred option is through the Ethernet port on the CPU card.
2. The first option requires that the system to which you will download be powered and
running through an active MCC server card that is connected to a LAN. The connection
must be made either in the box that will receive the downloaded or in a remote box routed
through the local CPU that is set as a gateway using IP protocol. You must be able to ping
the MCC card and the local and remote CPU host IP addresses from the PC or server that
you intend to use as a TFTP server and vice versa. The DEF RTE on the MCC Ethernet
configuration screen must be set to static and must include the IP address of the PC or
server from which you are downloading the firmware. You may need to change the routing
table on your PC to include the MCC ethernet address as the gateway, or the local host
address as the gateway for the system receiving the file as the destination IP address.
3. The second option is to connect to the Integrated Access System interface card's COM
(C1) port to which you will download the firmware using PPP or SLIP protocol at 19.2k
or 9.6k respectively. Again, you may need to change the routing table on your PC and/or
on the router or terminal server through which the PPP/SLIP connection runs.
Note: Your PC must have some sort of TFTP software installed and running when you are
downloading the binary files to the system. Consult the user guide accompanying the
software for details on configuring and using the software.
