Chapter 3 ROM Monitor Commands

boot

The boot command requests the loading of appropriate Remote Annex 6300 operating software from a cooperating host. The command syntax is:

boot [–lv filename]

Typing the letter q or

Control

-C interrupts the boot.

If you try to boot with a non-existent image file name, the Annex will hang as it searches for the image. You must press

the

Reset

button to recover.

A successful boot disables the ROM Monitor.

The boot command accepts a file name for the Remote Annex 6300’s image. If the file name is not specified, boot displays the default file name and prompts for one. If you do not provide a file name, or have not defined one for the Remote Annex 6300, boot requests the default oper.63.enet file. Optionally, you can enter a file name using the image command.

The Remote Annex 6300 boots from the defined preferred load host. If the preferred load host is not defined or does not respond, the Remote Annex 6300 broadcasts on the Ethernet and loads from the first host that responds.

To initiate loading, the Remote Annex 6300 sends a load request message to the selected host. After receiving a response, the Remote Annex 6300 loads its operational code to RAM. When loading is complete, it transfers control to the newly-loaded program. The Remote Annex 6300 displays a symbol on the console for each data block received during the boot.
