Software Differences
Software release v3.4.1 was introduced to support the 7665-17C chassis used in the
Broadmore 1700. However, software release 3.4.1 and higher can be used on all
Broadmore chassis.
The CPU module can be moved between different chassis but it must be configured to
recognize the chassis in which it is installed. The chassis version is specified by the
presence of a file pointer in the \CAM directory. For example, a 7665-17C chassis is
identified by the presence of a file named CAM7665.17C in the \CAM directory.
Similarly, the 17A and 17B chassis are identified by the files CAM7665.17A and
CAM7665.17B.
To change the file pointer in the CPU, perform the following steps:
1. Log in as a Superuser. The default login is:
SYSADMIN
and password:
INITIAL
2. From the operating system prompt, enter
cd cam
3. Type dir and look for one of the following files: CAM7665.17A , CAM7665.17B ,
or
CAM7665.17C
4. If the file name does not correspond to the chassis in which the CPU is installed, the
file must be renamed. For example, to change the chassis version from 17A to 17C,
enter the following command:
mv CAM7665.17A CAM7665.17C
5. If no file can be found, it can be created using the touch command. For example, to
create a file for the 17C chassis, enter the command:
touch CAM7665.17C
A CPU shipped with a Broadmore 500 will have the file CAM7665.5, which tells the
CPU to recongnize only the first 5 module slots. This file can also be changed as
described above if the CPU is installed in a different chassis.
