5.12.3.1 Establishing Network Connectivity to the SAM
The list below outlines the different actions required to enable and use the front panel Ethernet
interface on a SAM. If the upgrade is being performed over the backplane Ethernet interfaces
from one of the hub boards, skip these steps.
1. Login to the SAM front panel serial console using the id
root
and password
root
.
2. Set the environment variable that defines the IP address allocated for the SAM’s front
panel Ethernet interface.
# setenv ip1addr W.X.Y.Z
(substituting your address)
# ifconfig eth1 W.X.Y.Z
3. If your file server (for Artesyn files) is on a different subnet, :
# route add default gw W.X.Y.Z
(you will need to do this each time you reboot)
If you use the Uboot environment variable gatewayip, the route is set automatically at
reboot (setenv gatewayip W.X.Y.X)
4. If the local subnet is not a class ‘C’ subnet, you may need to also execute the command:
# ifconfig eth1 netmask ...
to alter the netmask used by the ethernet interface
If you use the Uboot environment variable netmask1, this subnet mask is set automatically
at bootup (setenv netmask1 netmask)
5. Ping the file server containing the Artesyn files. You should get a response if the Ethernet
cable is connected.
6. Set the environment variable that keeps the front panel Ethernet interface enabled
following a reboot.
# setenv enable_front_panel_ethernet y
5.12.3.2 Update ShM Firmware on the SAM
This step involves programming of the U-boot, Linux kernel, and root file system into flash on
the ShMM1500 on the SAM.
1. Copy the three required firmware image files listed below to the
/tmp
directory on the
ShM:

sentry.shmm1500.u-boot.bin

sentry.shmm1500.kernel

sentry.shmm1500.rts
One way of doing this is:
