3. Entering Marlin Bootmode
Caution: Do not issue the bootmode command from the
Nautica command prompt as this erases the router image, which
leaves the router without an operational image.
Enter bootmode state by using the Front Panel display.
• Press and hold the ENTER button on the Front Panel
display while powering on the unit. The Marlin beeps to
acknowledge bootmode. After the power up memory test
is complete, the Marlin Front Panel display reads
"Ready 4MB" followed by the time and loader version.
4. Erase the old configuration
The NauticaRS Version 5 router software is larger (that is the
image takes up more space) than the earlier versions, the
location of the configuration sector is diffeent. It is essential
that the old configuration is erased before attempting to load
any new router code.
• From the Front Panel display, select "Erase
Configuration" by pressing the Down arrow button four
times and the Enter button once. The display reads "Are
You Sure", press Enter once.
5. Download the new Marlin Bootloader
With the Marlin in bootmode and the Front Panel display
reading "Ready 4Mb", execute the following command from
a DOS prompt:
c:> marload marlin.ldr -boot
Caution: Be careful with this command. If the download fails
part way through, or if you download the wrong file, the Marlin
must be returned to the factory for repair.
If your packet driver is not configured to use interrupt 0x66
(Step 1), issue the previous command with the optional
-i[interrupt] parameter:
