ROM Command Monitor

Certain functions available through the ROM command

monitor can erase your configuration information.

Intermec STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that you only use

this option when absolutely necessary (for example, to

upgrade your FLASH software or when instructed to do so,

and under the supervision or direction of qualified Intermec

personnel).

Starting the Command Monitor

You can access the ROM command monitor only through

the DIAG port. Start the command monitor by turning the

access point off, then back on. After the access point has

completed its power-up self tests, you have about 5 seconds

to open the ROM command monitor by pressing any key on

the PC keyboard. See “Creating a Local DIAG Port

Session” in Section 4 for more information on how to access

ROM mode.

" NOTE:

You cannot invoke the command monitor once the access point has

started the FLASH program. If the access point enters its boot

sequence, you have to reboot the access point to open the ROM

command monitor.

When the ROM command monitor opens, the following

displays on the PC:

QXS6700K Vx.xx

MMM DD YYYY

ap>

"

QXS6700K is the program name of the ROM.

"

x.xx is the version of the ROM command monitor.

"

MMM DD YYYY is the month, day, and year the

version was released.

"

ap> is the command prompt.
