For information about Starting the ARN Operating the ARN Configuring the ARN for Netboot and Directed Netboot Using Local Boot (the Quick-Start Procedure) ARN Technical Specifications...
The first time you start the ARN, you complete an important software configuration process -- you provide the ARN with the files it needs to operate over the network. This chapter discusses the need for these specific startup files, what methods you can use to ensure that the router installs and uses the appropriate files, and how to use each of these installation methods.
You must complete an initial startup procedure to obtain the executable and default configuration files and connect the ARN to the network. Getting a file over the network is called network booting, or netbooting. Getting a file from the ARN file system, stored in Flash memory, is called local booting.

Table 2-1. Summary of Initial Startup Options Source for Boot Source for Configuration Option Image file File Directed Local Local Netboot† Network Network Local Boot Local Local *. The ARN supports netboot over serial, Ethernet, token ring, and DSU/CSU interfaces only. †.
Starting the ARN for the First Time The ARN factory defaults are set to find the configuration and image files from the following locations: • Configuration file -- over the network • Image file -- on the local PCMCIA Flash memory card These default settings work with the default EZ-Install procedure.
Using EZ-Install EZ-Install is the default installation option. This option requires that your network administrator has set up the network so that you can start the EZ-Install procedure. In addition, this option requires that you • Install a Flash memory card. •...
Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot You must use a command line interface that accesses the router software when you netboot or local boot the ARN. To use a command line interface, you can • Wait for the ARN to local boot (that is, wait for the router to fail EZ-Install and then attempt to boot using its local configuration file).
While the router is running the EZ-Install procedure, issue a break sequence from the management console. The ARN monitor login prompt appears. Note: Be sure to issue a break sequence before the boot process completes. Break sequences can vary, depending on the console equipment type. Some console terminals have specific break keys on their keyboards;...
Continuing with Netboot Note: Continuing with the netboot option requires that you have already logged in to the Technician Interface or ARN monitor command line software. Refer to the previous section, “Logging in to the Command Line Software,” for instructions. You must have at least one serial, Ethernet, or token ring interface connected to the network to use the netboot option.
Page 69
To use the netboot option: Enter the prompt and press the Return key. The following is a sample command: ifconfig com1 9.0.0.2 255.0.0.0 9.0.0.3 Refer to Appendix A for more information about the Enter the following command and press the Return key to verify the configuration you specified in Step 1: getcfg getcfg...

If getcfg displays the correct information, continue to the next step. Otherwise, reenter the correct administrator if you need assistance. Enter the following command and press the Return key to boot the ARN: boot Your console displays messages indicating the progress of the netboot procedure.
Continuing with Directed Netboot Note: Continuing with the directed netboot option requires that you have already logged in to the Technician Interface or ARN monitor command line software. Refer to the previous section, “Logging in to the Command Line Software,” for instructions. You must have at least one serial, DSU/CSU, Ethernet, or token ring interface connected to the network to use the directed netboot option.

Page 74
Note: If the ARN cannot find a software image or configuration file using the directed netboot procedure, it attempts to netboot once. If the netboot procedure fails, the ARN tries to local boot once. If all three boot attempts fail, the ARN continues to try directed netboot, netboot, and local boot until it boots successfully.
Continuing with Local Boot (the Quick-Start Procedure) Note: Continuing with the local boot option requires that you have already logged in to the Technician Interface or ARN monitor command line software. Refer to the previous section, “Logging in to the Command Line Software,” for instructions.
Page 76
Ensure that the ARN boots correctly. When the ARN boots, its LEDs flash in a particular order. See Chapter 3 for information on checking the ARN front-panel LEDs to ensure that the installation was successful and that the router is operating properly. After the ARN boots using its local software image and configuration file, the Technician Interface login prompt appears.
Contact your local Bay Networks Technical Response Center if you need additional assistance. After configuring the ARN network interface, you can replace the console connection with a modem connection to enable remote dial-in access.

RLSD3 (Received Line Signal Detection 3) RLSD4 (Received Line Signal Detection 4) RLSD5 (Received Line Signal Detection 5) Adapter Module LEDs An ARN adapter module can contain serial, ISDN, DSU/CSU, or V.34 modem LEDs.
V.34 Modem LEDs Table 3-10 describes the V.34 modem adapter module LEDs. Table 3-10. (Transmit) (Receive) RLSD (Received Line Signal Detection) (Data Terminal Ready) Back-Panel LEDs The ARN back-panel allows for an optional V.34 Modem Adapter module. Refer to the previous section, “V.34 Modem LEDs,” for more information about these LEDs.
Ensuring a Successful Installation After connecting the ARN to the network, you can ensure a successful installation by checking the diagnostic LEDs on the front panel of the base module (refer to Figure 3-1). When you power on the ARN, the following sequence of front panel LED activity should occur: •...
If the LEDs do not light in this sequence, your network administrator can refer to Configuring Remote Access to help troubleshoot the problem. Note: If the ARN does not contain an expansion module, an adapter module, a redundant power supply, a data collection module, or a Flash card, the LEDs associated with these components remain off.
Resetting the ARN The Reset button is set inside the ARN back panel and resides next to the Flash card slot, as shown in Figure 3-3. 100-240~ 1.2A 50-60Hz Figure 3-3. ARN Reset Button To press the Reset button, insert a small pointed object (for example, a paper clip) into the Reset button hole.
Removing a Flash Memory Card To remove a memory card from an ARN: Press the Eject button next to the card receptacle on the back panel. Pull the memory card out of the card receptacle. Figure Caution: Do not remove the Flash memory card while the router is operating. Removing the memory card interferes with current networking operations.
Protecting Memory Card Files Bay Networks ships each memory card with its Read/Write Protect switch in the unprotected position and saving your configuration, you may want to write-protect the memory card for backup purposes. Note: You typically do not operate the ARN with a write-protected memory card.
