MATRIX SERVSWITCH™

3.5.3KERNEL SERIAL-PORT MESSAGES

The Matrix ServSwitch’s kernel writes this message to the serial port at power-up:

Hit space bar within 5 seconds to get serial options menu

If the Switch receives a [Space] character at the serial port during the next

5 seconds, the standard Matrix ServSwitch initialization terminates after writing the Local ports diagnostic message (see Section 3.5.1), and a serial options menu appears as described in Section 7.2.

During a firmware upgrade after a kernel error has occurred, any of the following messages may appear at the serial port:

•Waiting for file

•Receive successful

•Checksum error

•Record error

•Data error

•Receive failed

•Address =

•Try again ? Y/N
