Configuration Menu System
Instead, the bridge resets and then makes another attempt to
download new software, using the same set of parameters it had
before.
This cycle continues until:
❏ The required configuration and image files are loaded
or
❏ The cycle is interrupted by entering control-c from the
VT100
Entering control-c also opens another window on the VT100,
where the current software download parameters are displayed,
plus some additional control fields. You can use this window to
analyze what caused the failure and to reset the bridge back to a
“local boot mode” where it will use the image code currently
stored in its FLASH EPROM.
To use this window, do the following:
1
Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the parameter you
want to modify. Press return when you have selected it.
2
Press control-u to erase the current data and enter the new
parameter in the data entry bar at the bottom of the win-
dow.
3
Press return to enter the new parameter value.
4
Repeat steps1-3 for any other parameters to be modified.
5
Highlight the Software Update command and press return
to start the process.
The bridge requests that you confirm executing the down-
load.
Respond yes or no ( y or n ) to the prompt at the bottom of
the window.
Entering n returns you to the window with no action
taken.
Entering y starts the software update process described
above.
