Diagnostics

UltraNet Edge 3000 from a remote terminal. Use the same procedure for all diagnostic programs except where noted.

To use a serial connection, follow this procedure:

1.Configure the terminal emulator for a speed of 38400, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

Once you are connected to the UltraNet Edge 3000, the tm.0x10> prompt will be displayed.

2.From the tm.0x10> prompt, type abort and press the Enter key. The UltraNet Edge 3000 will start to reboot.

3.When the prom> prompt is displayed, press the Enter key. This will interrupt the auto-boot sequence.

NOTE: If you want to run diagnostics with a telnet session, contact Technical Support for the Prom user name and password (see the “Regulatory and Safety Statements” section in the Chapter Preface).

Use the following procedure to use an Ethernet connection:

1.Telnet to the UltraNet Edge 3000 via the Ethernet maintenance interface.

Once you are connected to the UltraNet Edge 3000, the tm.0x10> prompt will be displayed.

2.From the prompt, type abort and press the Enter key.

The UltraNet Edge 3000 will start to reboot and the telnet connection will disconnect.

3.Quickly disconnect your telnet session if it didn’t disconnect automatically.

4.Re-establish the telnet connection immediately. If the telnet connection is not made immediately, the auto-boot sequence will start and you will no longer be in the prom mode.

If the auto-boot sequence is not interrupted, you will see the tm.0x10> prompt.

5.Enter the prom user name and password when prompted.
