6 Maintenance features
This section deals with less frequent operations such as checking status, logs, updating
firmware and resetting the device.
6.1 Check status in
BOOT.TXT
Inspecting
BOOT.TXT
will give you essential information about your VTAP100 set up, at time
of last reboot, which might be helpful when troubleshooting.
Figure 6-1 Example BOOT.TXT file
You are most likely to need:
l
'ATCA' - the serial number for your VTAP100 unit.
l
'Firmware' - the VTAP100 firmware version in use.
l
'Hardware' - the VTAP100 hardware version in use.
l
'KeySlots used:' - a useful check that you have uploaded the necessary key files, since these
are deleted when they are uploaded. These two examples show how to read this
information:
o
'KeySlots used:------' shows that no keys have been uploaded.
o
'KeySlots used: 12--56' shows that key files 1 and 2 have been successfully uploaded, in
addition to the defaults 5 and 6.
l
'VCP enabled' - indicates that the virtual COM port has been enabled.
l
'Status' - should be 0 if operating normally, anything else indicates an error state.
l
'Boot time' - The time at boot, which defaults to 1970/00/00 00:00:00 if power is removed
to reboot.
If the configuration has been locked the
BOOT.TXT
file will end with the words LOCKED S/W
or LOCKED H/W.
