boot
The boot command requests the loading of appropriate Remote
Annex 6300 operating software from a cooperating host. The
command syntax is:
boot [–lv | filename]
Typing the letter q or - C interrupts the boot.
If you try to boot with a non-existent image file name, the
Annex will hang as it searches for the image. You must press
the
button to recover.
A successful boot disables the ROM Monitor.
The boot command accepts a file name for the Remote Annex 6300’s
image. If the file name is not specified, boot displays the default file
name and prompts for one. If you do not provide a file name, or have
not defined one for the Remote Annex 6300, boot requests the default
oper.63.enet
file. Optionally, you can enter a file name using the
image command.
The Remote Annex 6300 boots from the defined preferred load host.
If the preferred load host is not defined or does not respond, the
Remote Annex 6300 broadcasts on the Ethernet and loads from the
first host that responds.
To initiate loading, the Remote Annex 6300 sends a load request
message to the selected host. After receiving a response, the Remote
Annex 6300 loads its operational code to RAM. When loading is
complete, it transfers control to the newly-loaded program. The
Remote Annex 6300 displays a symbol on the console for each data
block received during the boot.
