2.8 FEPROM Recovery—Procedure
After Kermit has been set up and you are ready to downline load
the file, AXP or VAX7000_10000_CONSOLE_IMAGE.GROM, connect
to the target system, prepare it to receive the file and then load it.
The final steps are to copy the file into the FEPROMs and boot the
system. Note that all commands are entered on the source system.
Example 2-6 Using Kermit to Downline Load FEPROM Code
Kermit-32> connect txa5: # Line = com path e.g., TXA5
[should now get a FRRC> prompt on remote terminal]
VAX-7000/10000-FRRC> r # Type FRRC receive command.
Ctrl/] C # Escape sequence to return
# to Kermit.
Kermit-32> send
dad104:[SYS0.SYSEXE]VAX7000_10000_CONSOLE_IMAGE.GROM
[Type Ctrl/A to get a brief status update]
[Kermit responds OK when finished]
Kermit-32> status # To get a status report.
Kermit-32> connect # To reconnect to FRRC on the
# target system.
VAX-7000/10000-FRRC> c # To verify checksum of image.
VAX-7000/10000-FRRC> p # To copy program image into
# FEPROMs.
VAX-7000/10000-FRRC> i # To reset node.
[Selt-test display appears]
>>> Ctrl/] C # Escape sequence to return
# to Kermit.
Kermit-32> exit # To return to DCL.

NOTE: Updating using a laptop is exactly the same except the local MS-
Kermit program must be configured appropriately. The procedure
as far as FRRC is concerned is identical.
