Chapter 3 ROM Monitor Commands
erase
The erase command erases the contents of non-volatile memory, including the Remote Annex 6300’s Internet address. This command also restores the parameters to their factory defaults. The syntax is:
erase
If the self-boot option is installed, the erase command prompts for the non-volatile memory to erase: EEPROM or FLASH. Entering 1 at the prompt causes the Remote Annex to erase the EEPROM memory (configuration information); entering 2 at the prompt causes the Remote Annex to erase the Flash memory (self-boot image).
The erase command does not erase the Ethernet address.
Since the erase command erases the IP address, you must use the addr command to re-enter the Remote Annex’s IP address before reloading any software.
The erase command display looks like this:
monitor:: erase
1)EEPROM (i.e. Configuration information)
2)FLASH (i.e. Self boot image)
Enter 1 or 2:: 1
Erase all non-volatile EEPROM memory? (y/n) [n]:: y Erasing 65504 bytes of non-volatile memory. Please wait...
