Configuration Menu
C.1.1 Factory Defaults
The unit is configured at the factory to use a default set of initialization parameters in order to
obtain a software image. This means that, for most configurations, the unit should be able to be
loaded without any configuration changes. Loading is made particularly easy if you have
inserted a memory card which contains the appropriate load image into the Memory Card Slot,
since the unit will load from the memory card. If a card is not present or the appropriate image
is not on the card, the unit requests to be loaded by a host system that has the Xyplex TCP/IP-
LAT software installed, or a Network 9000 card that has a Memory card which contains the
appropriate load image. (The default order in which protocols are tried is: Memory Card,
Directed TFTP, XMOP, BOOTP/TFTP, MOP, and RARP/TFTP. The flow chart on the next
page depicts the order in which protocols are tried. By default, network load requests are
transmitted on midplane Ethernet LAN segment A.) The unit is also configured at the factory
to store parameters locally on a flash memory card, if one is installed, and remotely at any
properly configured parameter servers.
XMOP is used for loading from a Xyplex load server. MOP is used for loading from a
VAX/VMS host. BOOTP, RARP, and DTFTP (Directed Trivial File Transfer Protocol) are
used for loading from a UNIX host. Typically, you only need to use DTFTP when loading
across a router or when the load host does not support BOOTP or RARP.
