ParameterDescription

Number of time-out minutes in the range 0-90. If no data is received or transmitted during a Telnet session for the specified period, the session will time-

TIMEOUT=<time-out>out. A zero value indicates no time-out. This value is used for any CCM port that does not have a time-out value set with the Port Set command, during a Telnet

session to port 23 or an SSH session to port 22. Default = 15 minutes

Server FLASH command

The Server FLASH command updates the CCM appliance program images in FLASH memory. You may wish to use this command to update the program with new features or to install a later release of the program.

There are two program images that you may update in the CCM appliance FLASH. The boot image file (ccm50bt.img) contains the CCM appliance startup and self-test logic. The application image (ccm50app.img) contains the program that provides CCM appliance functionality.

You will need a TFTP server. Download the latest FLASH image from the Avocent web site (www.avocent.com), and save the image file to the appropriate directory on the TFTP server.

NOTE: Powering down a system in the middle of a boot FLASH update may render the unit inoperable. To update the bootstrap, it is recommended that the unit be placed on a UPS under controlled conditions to avoid interruption of the boot FLASH update process.
