As an FRM boots, screen information tracks the loading of RLP and LAN card
software, verifies configuration file format, and displays any errors. This data is dis-
played only until the FRM software is running; however, it is saved in a file named
BOOTRPT.TXT, and the operator can later display it. This can be used as a tool to
verify that startup of the node proceeded without errors. If there is an error reported,
the data may aid in fixing the problem.
If an FRM is shut down and/or rebooted, the existing BOOTRPT.TXT file will be
renamed BOOTBAK.TXT, and a new BOOTRPT.TXT will be created. BOOTRPT.TXT
and BOOTBAK.TXT can be used as follows:
1. Display and review the data from the "current" boot of the device.
2. Address any reported problems.
3. Re-boot the device. (This copies the previous boot data to a backup file.)
4. Display the new boot data, and compare it to the previous data. This will show
whether the problem was fixed. Also, a problem that occurred during the previous
boot-up will often be cleared up by re-booting.
To display the data from the current boot-up, press
from the Main Menu). To display the data from the previous boot-up (saved in a
[C]
file called BOOTBAK.TXT), press
