Initializing the 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, and 8683POSM modules

If you accidentally delete the image file, reset the CPU module and
download the file again. For information about how to reset the CPU
module, see Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Installation —
Chassis Installation and Maintenance
(NN46220-305).

If you have one MDA installed, you can proceed to configure the 8672ATME
or 8672ATMM module as described in Using the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM
Modules
(209195-G).

You must save your configuration using either the CLI or Device Manager
to preserve the configuration changes you made to the 8672ATME or
8672ATMM module across reboots.

Initializing the 8683POSM module

The CPU module retrieves the image file to download to the 8683POSM
module. First, the CPU module searches the host flash memory for the
file, then the PC Card. The CPU module downloads the image file to the
8683POSM module and identifies which MDAs are installed. The screen
displays a message similar to the following:

Downloading POS image to slot <number> .........Done (file

name and image size.)

If the CPU module does not find the image file in either the flash memory or
the PC Card, the screen displays this message:

POS image file name not found either in FLASH or PCMCIA.

If the downloaded is unsuccessful, the screen displays the following
message:

Card is off line.

The 8683POSM module requests a redownload from the CPU module;
the screen displays this message:

Redownload requested by POS card in slot <number>.

The 8683POSM module attempts a redownload three times. If the download
is still unsuccessful, the 8683POSM module goes offline and the screen
displays this message:

Redownload of POS card in slot <number> failed maximum 3

times; POS card is offline.

When the 8683POSM module boots, the redownload count is reset to 0.
After the image is loaded onto the 8683POSM module, the image performs
a series of self-diagnostic tests. If the module fails the diagnostics, the
screen displays the following message:

Port <number> for POS card in slot <number> failed

diagnostics.

If you see this message, contact a customer service representative.
