3. Enter the reboot command to force changes to take effect.
Installing a MaxOS Image (Netcat)
The MaxOS image is the firmware core of the SSL device. It can be replaced via
MiniMax when the firmware has been corrupted. This example uses the Netcat
application to stream the image to MiniMax. The MaxOS image can be found on
the distribution CD accompanying the device.
Netcat allows for reading and writing data across network sockets. It is freely
available for most operating systems here:
•
Unix: ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/netutils/netcat
• Win32 Binary: http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/nc11nt.zip
1. Ensure the device is connected via the null modem cable to a workstation
where Netcat is available. Use the "CONSOLE" port on the appliance.
2.
Ensure that the “Server” Ethernet interface on the device is connected to the
network.
3.
Launch any terminal emulation application that communicates with the serial
port connected to the SSL device. Use these settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
4.
Enter the env command to verify the IP address of the device.
5.
Enter the sbridge server command to activate the bridge on the “Server”
port, allowing the image to be sent to the device.
6.
Copy the firmware image file (css-sca-2fe-k9.phz) to the directory where
Netcat is located.
7.
Using the command console, change the active directory to the one where
Netcat and the image file are located.
8.
Enter the following command, substituting the IP address of the SSL device.
