Initializing the 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, and 8683POSM modules 99
If you accidentally delete the image file, reset the CPU module and download the file again. For information about how to reset the CPU module, see Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Installation — Chassis Installation and Maintenance
If you have one MDA installed, you can proceed to configure the 8672ATME or 8672ATMM module as described in Using the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM Modules
You must save your configuration using either the CLI or Device Manager to preserve the configuration changes you made to the 8672ATME or 8672ATMM module across reboots.
Initializing the 8683POSM module
The CPU module retrieves the image file to download to the 8683POSM module. First, the CPU module searches the host flash memory for the file, then the PC Card. The CPU module downloads the image file to the 8683POSM module and identifies which MDAs are installed. The screen displays a message similar to the following:
Downloading POS image | to slot <number> | Done (file |
name and image size.) |
|
|
If the CPU module does not find the image file in either the flash memory or the PC Card, the screen displays this message:
POS image file name not found either in FLASH or PCMCIA.
If the downloaded is unsuccessful, the screen displays the following message:
Card is off line.
The 8683POSM module requests a redownload from the CPU module; the screen displays this message:
Redownload requested by POS card in slot <number>.
The 8683POSM module attempts a redownload three times. If the download is still unsuccessful, the 8683POSM module goes offline and the screen displays this message:
Redownload of POS card in slot <number> failed maximum 3 times; POS card is offline.
When the 8683POSM module boots, the redownload count is reset to 0. After the image is loaded onto the 8683POSM module, the image performs a series of
Port <number> for POS card in slot <number> failed diagnostics.
If you see this message, contact a customer service representative.
