Extended Function Commands | Chapter 4: Serial or Telnet I/O Functions |
Important Note:
The following commands related to sofware upgrades (F100 J, BH, BU, BUB, BF and K I L L) are not the normal commands used for uploading firmware. Symmetricom provides these commands for flexibility in supporting special case situations. Normal firmware upgrades use an
4.4.15F100 J - Jumper
Use F100 PT to display the state of jumper JP5, which is reserved for future use. This function also displays the security flag bits and disable bits.
To display the state of jumper J5, send the following command:
F100 J<Enter>
An example unit response:
Jumper JP5 = 0
Security flags = 0x00000000
FPC_SECURITY_BIT = 0
BURN_DISABLE_BIT = 0
UNIT_REMOTE_DISABLE_BIT = 0
PASSWORD_SETTING_DISABLE_BIT = 0
JP5 is located near the middle of the printed circuit board, beside the two flashing LEDs and the NetARM microprocessor.
4.4.16F100 BH - Burn Host
Use Burn Host when upgrading software, to select the FTP host and the file to be transferred.
To select the FTP host and file for upgrading, send the following command:
F100 BH <FTP host IP address><SP><Upgrade file path>/ <file name><Enter>
Use UNIX style forward slashes ‘/’ in path and do not describe the drive (for example, ‘C’) in the path.
For example:
F100 BH 10.1.7.20
The unit responds:
Burn host is ready
This command can be disabled by the Burn Host Lock command, which denies serial and Telnet access. However, if you enter BootLoader mode, this command is always available.
4.4.17F100 BU - Burn
Use Burn when upgrading software, to write the file selected with F100 BH to the flash memory. Flash memory is checked to ensure that the correct file is used.
