    Bootline Configuration Program This chapter describes how to use the Bootline Confguration Program (BCP) to confi- gure the DEC WANrouter 90 for serial line loading. C.1 Introduction The Bootline Configuration Program (BCP) allows you to configure the DEC WAN- router 90 serial port so that software can be down-line loaded to the router over a seri- al line.
  • Page 92: C.2 How To Enter Bcp

    The DEC WANrouter 90 is factory preset for down-line loading over the Ethernet. However, when the serial port is configured for down-line loading, software can no longer be down-line loaded through the router’s Ethernet interface. To enable the DEC WANrouter 90 Ethernet interface for down-line loading, you use BCP to change the load protocol to BOOTP/TFTP, as described in Section C.5.5.
  • Page 93: C.3 Bcp Commands

    If the router is trying to load over the serial line, when you type Ctrl/B, there is a delay of approximately five seconds and the following message is displayed: Init –1122– Entering BCP, please wait C.3 BCP Commands The following subsections describe the BCP commands and the last subsection de- scribes how to abort a command.
