    INSTALLING THE CSMIM2 GENERAL This chapter details the installation and set up procedures for the CSMIM2 family. Unless otherwise specified, the term CSMIM2 is used to signify all members of the CSMIM2 family including the MODMIM-4 with its various upgrade options. See appendices for installation procedures for DVRAM, Flash, and board upgrades.

  • Page 24: Pre-Installation

    Chapter 2: Installing the CSMIM2 PRE-INSTALLATION Installing the CSMIM2 involves setting jumpers to select an Ethernet channel and management services for the module. 2.3.1 Locating the Ethernet Jumpers The CSMIM2/MODMIM has two Ethernet jumpers and one Unmanaged Module Group jumper. Figure 2-1 shows the locations and jumper numbers for the Ethernet and Unmanaged Module jumpers.

    INSTALLING THE CSMIM Installing the CSMIM2 into any MMAC hub is an easy operation and requires no special tools. However, when you install your device, keep the following in mind: Any installation operations should be performed only by qualified personnel. You may install the CSMIM2 in any slot except for slot 1 (farthest slot to the right) of the MMAC chassis.
  • Page 28 Chapter 2: Installing the CSMIM2 Forcing a misaligned module into place can damage the CSMIM2 or the MMAC backplane. CAUTION MMAC-M8FNB Figure 2-2 Installing the CSMIM2 Secure the module to the MMAC chassis by tightening the knurled knobs. If you do not tighten the knurled knobs, vibration can cause the module to lose contact with the backplane and disrupt your network.

  • Page 29: Console Port Terminal

    CONSOLE PORT TERMINAL Connect a terminal to port 1. You need this terminal to access the ROM Monitor and boot the CSMIM2 for the first time. Set the terminal to 9600 baud, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit, and XON/XOFF flow control.

  • Page 30: Power-Up And Test

    Chapter 2: Installing the CSMIM2 If you exceed these recommended cable lengths, you must NOTE compensate for any resulting problems by reducing the baud rate, using low capacitance cable, etc. Exceed these distances at your own risk. POWER-UP AND TEST Apply power (insert into MMAC).

  • Page 32: Auto-Initializing The Roms

    Chapter 2: Installing the CSMIM2 AUTO-INITIALIZING THE ROMS The CSMIM2 supports the BOOTP and RARP protocols. The ROMs use these protocols to obtain boot information without requiring any manual set-up on the CSMIM2. • BOOTP is a bootstrap protocol that allows a diskless client to determine its Internet address, the Internet address of the server, and the name of the file to be loaded into memory.
  • Page 33 When the CSMIM2 receives a BOOTP response with the sm, gw, and ip set, it sets the respective parameters: subnet_mask, load_dump_gateway, and inet_addr. The Vendor Magic Cookie must be set to auto. This indicates that bootpd should respond to the client (CSMIM2 in this case) with whatever format the client requests;...

  • Page 34: Software Installation Procedures

    Chapter 2: Installing the CSMIM2 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Install the operational code on a UNIX host before loading it on a CSMIM2. The CSMIM2 Installation Notes describe how to install software on a host. The CSMIM2 may also be booted from software loaded on a CSMIM, another CSMIM2 or from Flash memory (see Chapter 3).

  • Page 35: Chapter 3 Rom Monitor Commands

    CHAPTER 3 ROM MONITOR COMMANDS GENERAL This chapter describes the ROM Monitor commands. These commands are accessed through a terminal connected to port 1 when the CSMIM2 is in SETUP mode. Pressing the SETUP switch within 3 seconds of powering up puts the CSMIM2 into Set Up mode. The ROM Monitor commands allow you to set a number of EEPROM parameters.
  • Page 36 Chapter 3: ROM Monitor Commands Table 3-1 Displays and sets EEPROM values relevant to network addr [-d] addressing, including the CSMIM2’s Internet address. Manually boots and loads the CSMIM2’s operating boot [-v] [<file>] code. Erases the existing Flash memory and copies a new boot [-l] [<file>] image to Flash.

  • Page 37: Commands

    COMMANDS Following is an explanation of each of the ROM monitor commands, syntax and other usage information. 3.2.1 addr The addr command displays and sets several CSMIM2 operating parameters (EEPROM values) relevant to IP network addressing: • Internet address. • Subnet mask.
  • Page 38 Chapter 3: ROM Monitor Commands The addr command display looks like this: monitor:: addr Enter Internet address [<uninitialized>]:: 192.9.200.214 Internet address: 192.9.200.214 Enter Subnet mask [255.255.0.0]:: Enter Broadcast address [0.0.0.0]:: 192.9.200.0 Broadcast address: 192.9.200.0 Enter Preferred Load Host address [<any host>]:: 192.9.200.88 Preferred Load Host address: 192.9.200.88 Enter Preferred Dump Host address [0.0.0.0]:: 192.9.200.88 Preferred Dump Host address: 192.9.200.88...
  • Page 39 The CSMIM2 must have an Internet (IP) address in its memory before it can load its operational image across the Ethernet via the IP protocol. Therefore, you must enter the IP address before booting the CSMIM2 from a UNIX load host. If you do not define an IP address for the CSMIM2, it will attempt to learn the address using BOOTP or RARP.

  • Page 40: Boot

    Chapter 3: ROM Monitor Commands 3.2.2 boot The boot command requests the loading of appropriate CSMIM2 operating software from the preferred load host. The command syntax is: boot [–lv | filename] –l command is supported only if the self-boot option The boot NOTE (Flash) is installed.
  • Page 41 During a boot, the console may display four possible status symbols: “.” indicates received data blocks, “?” indicates unanswered requests, “*” indicates transmission errors, and “! ~XXXX~” is a status word from the Ethernet chip on the CSMIM2 indicating a gross problem with the Ethernet connection (if this symbol appears in your boot command display, contact technical support).

  • Page 43 The boot –l command downloads and saves the operational image to non-volatile memory, erases the existing Flash memory, copies the new image from non-volatile memory to Flash memory, and then executes the image. The boot –l command is supported only if the self-boot option NOTE is installed.
  • Page 44 Chapter 3: ROM Monitor Commands Only use the boot -l command when reloading your Flash NOTE memory (e.g., when upgrading to a new version of software). Make sure that you have a properly configured load host available or you will erase your image from Flash and will not be able to load a new one.

  • Page 45: Config

    3.2.3 config The config command displays the CSMIM2’s total number of ports, total amount of memory, the ID number, the serial number, the major and minor hardware revision numbers, and the ROM software revision number. The config command display contains information describing whether or not Flash ROM is installed.
  • Page 46 Chapter 3: ROM Monitor Commands The command display looks like this: monitor:: console-baud Remote Diagnostic Test Mode In order to use the remote diagnostic functionality, you must first connect a modem to the console port of the Annex. The modem should be configured such that DTR is forced on, carrier detect and DSR are set normal, and auto-answer is enabled.

  • Page 47: Erase

    From the remote site: • Dial into the modem connected to the CSMIM2. • Type RETURN until the monitor prompt appears. 3.2.5 erase The erase command erases the contents of non-volatile memory, including the CSMIM2’s IP address. This command also restores the parameters to their factory defaults.
