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). When loading the CSMIM2 software for the first time, use the
ROM Monitor commands. At the monitor prompt:
1. Execute the erase command to clear the EEPROM. (See the erase
command in Chapter 3.)
2. Execute the addr command to:
Enter the CSMIM2's Internet address.
Modify any other parameters that the CSMIM2 may require for the
initial boot, i.e., the preferred load host's Internet address and the
subnet mask. (See the addr command in Chapter 3.)
3. If you are booting the CSMIM2 using a Serial Line Internet Protocol
(SLIP) network interface, you must:
Use the slip command to modify the port parameters for the SLIP
network interface (see the slip command in Chapter 3).
Use the sequence command to list the SLIP network interface in the
load/dump interface list (see the sequence command in Chapter 3).
4. Execute the boot command (see the boot command in Chapter 3).
After successful execution of the boot command, your CSMIM2 is up
and running.
