Check that the terminal configuration is 9600 8N1.
Check that the console is not in an events process.
Check that the device is not being remotely accessed via telnet.
The local console is only dis-
playing garbage
Check that the terminal has the correct port configured.
Check that the terminal configuration is 9600 8N1.
The device does not initialize
and the console displays the
WARM-UP text.
Check that micro-switch ‘1’ is in the OFF position. In this situation, you may have
to reload the device BIOS and the routing application.
The device is very slow in dis-
playing the application prompt.
Check that micro-switch ‘3’ is in the OFF position.
You have forgotten the pass-
word to access the device
Ignore the configuration through micro-switch ‘5’ as explained in the section on mi-
cro-switches.
The
LAN
LED never lights up in
green.
Check that the rear LINK LED is ON.
Check the Ethernet cable and the connection to the network (you may need a
crossover cable).
The
WAN
LED never lights up in
green.
Check that the cable you are using is adequate, that the driver is inserted in the
correct position (DTE or DCE).
Check that the configuration is correct (speed, protocol, etc.).
The ISDN LEDs never light up
in either yellow or green.
Check that the connection to the bus is correct and that the Sbus terminal switch
is in the correct position.
The LEDS indicate the inter-
faces are established but there
is no connectivity at the data
levels.
Check the configuration (routes, IP addresses, serial interface speed, etc).
A.3 Updating the software and the configurations
Both the BIOS as well as the routing application code and the configurations are stored in the device flash memory.
This is handled as a standard disk unit. The executable codes have a
.bin
extension and can by updated via FTP us-
ing the Atlas 250 router FTP server, and by XModem through the device local console.
The configurations have a
.cfg
extension and can only be read and written via FTP. If you wish to make copies of
your configurations, simply obtain the
.cfg
router file possessed by the router. In the same way, if you wish to use a
configuration, simply overwrite the aforementioned file.
Note
UPDATING THE APPLICATION
The code storage system simulates a standard disk drive unit: you must make sure that the application
file name loaded in the device coincides with that already existing. If this is not so, it is possible that the
loaded code will not automatically activate and the system will continue to execute the code that exis-
ted prior to the updating.
If you always use the same file name, the system will delete the previous code, substitute it with the
new code and activate automatically.
