Configuring the Boot
Parameters using the
Local Console
This chapter describes how to use the local console to configure the boot parameters
and boot Freeway. You can boot Freeway from a boot server attached to the local area
network or from Freeway’s hard or flash drive. If you are booting from a boot server, it
is assumed that:
1. You have performed the hardware installation procedures described in Chapter 2 .
2. You know which protocol you will be installing on your boot server (for example,
BSC2780/3780, FMP, or X.25). The protocol is indicated on the label of the
software distribution media.
Note
If you are installing more than one protocol, it is best to perform
the software installation (described in the
Freeway User Guide )
and loopback verification testing (described in the Freeway Loop-
back Test Procedures ) for one protocol before attempting to cus-
tomize your Freeway system for multiple protocols.
3. The system administrator has set up a file transfer protocol (FTP) or remote shell
(RSH) user name and password on the boot server to match the FTP user name
and the FTP password in the Freeway system boot parameters. The default FTP
user name is
ff f frr r ree e eee e eww w waa a ayy y y
and the default FTP password is
