Chapter 3: Installation

Switch definitions are as follows:

Switch 1: Cabletron Systems use only.

Switch 2: Cabletron Systems use only.

Switch 3: Not Used.

Switch 4: Not Used.

Switch 5: Cabletron Systems use only.

Switch 6: Forced Download. Changing the state of this switch

(i.e., moving the switch from one position to another) forces a BootP download.

After changing the position of Switch 6 and restarting the EMM-E6, the EMM-E6 requests a new image download until it either receives a new image or the reset button on the front panel is pressed. When the reset button is pressed, the EMM-E6 continues trying to contact a BootP server, but will timeout in approximately one minute. If the EMM-E6 times out, the image is loaded from its FLASH memory.

NOTE

Do NOT change the state of Switch 6 unless you have a station acting as a BootP server for the EMM-E6. This BootP station must reference a station that is acting as a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server and that contains the EMM-E6 image file. The EMM-E6 will request the location of the image file from the BootP server and use TFTP to download that file from the TFTP server.

If one of these requirements is not met, the EMM-E6 Forced Download operation will not be completed correctly.

Switch 7: NVRAM Reset. The EMM-E6 uses NVRAM to store user-entered parameters such as IP addresses, device name, etc. Changing the state of this switch (i.e., moving the switch from one position to another) resets these parameters to the factory defaults.
