Managing the Configuration
Managing the configuration involves defining and modifying some configuration
values. You can change operational parameters for the serial ports, as well as the
values of the boot flags.
1
Select 1. Manage Configuration from the main menu as shown in
Figure 4-1 on page 4-2.
2
The System Configuration Information panel is displayed as shown in
Figure 4-2 on page 4-4. Only the fields under Serial Ports and Boot Flags
can be modified.
3
To modify a field, move the cursor to the field, press Enter, and select or
type in the new value.
4
For serial ports, you can modify the port or PCMCIA modem's speed, parity,
and the number of data and stop bits. Boot flags are defined as follows:
Fast Boot
disabled The default. When disabled all diagnostics are run on
every boot attempt.
enabled The router skips Power On Self Test hardware
diagnostics, resulting in a faster boot time but less
hardware error checking.
Stop On Error
disabled The default. When disabled, the router proceeds
booting the operating system without regard to
diagnostic results.
enabled The router stops the boot sequence in the firmware if
any of the POST diagnostic tests fail, instead of
proceeding to boot the router operating system. You
may then view the error log to determine the cause of
failure.
Notes:
a. This option is ignored when Fast Boot is enabled.
b. This option does not affect the PCI diagnostics that are run at
boot-time by the router operational code.
c. POST diagnostics check out the system card, memory, and
hard disk. They can report errors that would not actually
prohibit the router from operating successfully.
