ONFIGURATION
To configure CS/2500 and CS/2600 firmware settings, use the Firmware
Configuration Utility. Firmware is preset at the factory for basic
installations; in most cases you do not need to reconfigure it. This
chapter describes how to make changes if necessary.
For information on configuring communications server software, refer
to the
Multiprotocol Communications Server Operation Guide,
Multiprotocol Communications Server Reference Guide
, and software
release notes.
If you are booting your communications server from a diskette,
software parameter values are stored on the diskette. 3Com recommends
that you make a backup copy of your working diskette each time you
modify software parameters. If for any reason the data in your current
working diskette becomes corrupted, you can use the backup copy to
restore the desired settings. For instructions for copying diskettes, refer
to “Copying and Formatting Diskettes” on page 3-4.
Entering the
Firmware Monitor
To use the Firmware Configuration Utility, you must place the
communications server in monitor mode. This mode suspends normal
operation and allows interaction only with the monitor command
interface. After using the monitor, you must reboot the communications
server to resume normal operation.
For a complete description of commands available in monitor mode,
refer to Appendix C, “Monitor Utility.”
Follow this procedure to enter monitor mode:
1 Connect a terminal to the console port (connector J0C), using a modem
cable. For wiring information, refer to Appendix A, “Pin Assignments.”
