LinkBuilder FDDI Workgroup Hub User Guide Release Note 3

Removing modules from the hub with the power on will not damage the hardware. However, the software may not be able to distinguish between intentional removal and catastrophic failure of a media module. As a result, some errors will be entered in the fault log and in some cases may fill the fault log entirely. The most common error resulting from the removal of a media module is 05000002 (bus error). Other errors may also occur. Check the fault log for valid errors before you remove any module. Also, clear the fault log (using the clear log command) after all changes are complete and the system has been reinitialized.

Pages 3-9, 3-10, and 3-11: Accessing the Primitive Console Command Mode

The procedure for accessing the primitive console command mode has been modified. To access the primitive console command mode:

1.Press the RESET button once, or enter the reset command.

During the subsequent power-on self-test (POST), the status LED flashes amber/green for 10 seconds, indicating that the primitive console command mode is being accessed.

2.Press the RESET button again.

POST is reinitialized. When POST is completed, this prompt appears for

10 seconds:

Press Ctrl-P to enter Primitive console

All other keys except [Ctrl] and [P] are ignored during this 10-second interval.

3.Press [Ctrl] + [P].

The hub is now in the primitive console command mode.

If you do not access the primitive console command mode, POST executes the system software resident in flash memory. Prior to execution of the system software, POST verifies that flash memory is not corrupted. This process takes about 20–30 seconds. During this time the status LED is off.
