5: Troubleshooting
Note:
If you see the message "Will attempt another download in x minutes,"
press any key for the Boot> prompt.
You can enter a series of commands called Boot Configuration Program (BCP)
commands at the
Boot>
prompt to configure the SCS. These commands are a subset of
the entire SCS command set. For example, a typical TCP/IP configuration might use the
following commands:
BCP Command Examples
Boot> SET SERVER IPADDRESS 192.0.1.229
Boot> SET SERVER SOFTWARE /tftpboot/SCS200.SYS
Boot> SET SERVER LOADHOST 192.0.1.188
Boot> SET SERVER SECONDARY 192.0.1.22
Boot> FLASH
% Initialization begins in 5 seconds.....
These commands set the SCS's address, the software loadfile, and the loadhost's IP
address (as well as that of a backup loadhost). The SCS then reboots using the
Flash
command and attempts to load the file firmware file from the host at 192.0.1.188.
Flash
This command forces the SCS to download new operational code and reload it into Flash
ROM. This is necessary when a new version of software is released and you wish to
upgrade your unit. If the SCS cannot download the file, the code in Flash ROM is still
usable.
Flush NVR
This command is used to restore the SCS's non-volatile RAM to its factory default
settings. It resets everything that is configurable on the SCS, including the unit's IP
address.

Init 451
Reboots the SCS after it has been configured. If the SCS can find and load the specified
software loadfile, it restarts itself with full functionality. If the loadfile is not found, the SCS
attempts to reload continuously. If there is an error, or if the console's
Enter
key is
pressed, the SCS re-enters the Boot Configuration Program.
Set Server BOOTP {Enabled, Disabled}
Enables or disables the sending of BOOTP queries during the boot sequence. It is
enabled by default.
Set Server Bootgateway ip_address
Specifies the address of a router so TFTP upgrades can be performed over a routed
network. This requires Boot version 1.3 or higher. TFTP (UDP port 69) must not be
blocked on the routers.
