If you have the upgrade kit, please refer to Appendix E for installation instructions.

  • Page 24: Serial Devices

    Chapter 2: Micro-CS Installation Press SETUP within 3 seconds of powering up to put the Micro-CS into ROM Monitor mode. You can also reset the Micro-CS and enter the ROM Monitor mode by pressing the SETUP switch for at least three seconds, until the SETUP LED flashes indicating a reset.

  • Page 30: Software Installation Procedures

    Chapter 2: Micro-CS Installation The only boot information that RARP provides is the Micro-CS’s Internet address. The ROMs save this information in the inet_addr parameter. The ROMs use default information for the subnet mask and preferred load host. This means the ROMs will broadcast their request. The host serving the Micro-CS its boot information must be running on the same network as the Micro-CS because the Micro-CS only broadcasts BOOTP and RARP queries.

  • Page 33: 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 Micro-CS is in SETUP mode. Pressing the SETUP switch within 3 seconds of powering up puts the Micro-CS into Set Up mode. The ROM Monitor commands allow you to set a number of EEPROM parameters.

Manually boots and loads the Micro-CS’s operating boot [-v] [<file>] code. Erases the existing Flash memory and copies a new boot [-l] [<file>] image to Flash.

  • Page 35: 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 Micro-CS operating parameters (EEPROM values) relevant to IP network addressing: • Internet address. • Subnet mask.
  • Page 36 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 37 The Micro-CS 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 Micro-CS from a UNIX load host. If you do not define an IP address for the Micro-CS, it will attempt to learn the address using BOOTP or RARP.

  • Page 38: Boot

    Chapter 3: ROM Monitor Commands 3.2.2 boot The boot command requests the loading of appropriate Micro-CS 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 39 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 Micro-CS indicating a gross problem with the Ethernet connection (if this symbol appears in your boot command display, contact technical support).

  • Page 41 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 42 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 43: Config

    3.2.3 config The config command displays the Micro-CS’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 44 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 45: Erase

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

  • Page 64: Boot Error Report

    Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Procedures The Micro-CS generates a boot error report only if it opens the NOTE boot file and an error occurs during the boot process. Generally, two problems cause boot failures: the Micro-CS is not configured properly, or the load server host is not responding. The Micro-CS requests a boot either from a pre-defined load host, or by broadcasting its boot request.
  • Page 65 The error count pinpoints the error that caused the boot failure. For example, if the boot failed during a Read Request due to excessive Expedited Remote Procedure Call (ERPC) layer errors, the Errors from Last ERPC Layer Invocation lists only errors that occurred during the failed Read Request.

For hosts supporting file names longer than 14 characters (e.g., BSD hosts), dump files are named dump.addr. The file extension addr is the Micro-CS’s Internet address. For hosts that limit file names to 14 characters (e.g., System V hosts), a dump creates two additional directories under /usr/spool/erpcd/bfs.
