Micro-CS Installation Guide3-1CHAPTER 3ROM MONITOR COMMANDS3.1 GENERALThis chapter describes the ROM Monitor commands. These commandsare accessed through a terminal connected to port 1 when the Micro-CS isin SETUP mode. Pressing the SETUP switch within 3 seconds ofpowering up puts the Micro-CS into Set Up mode.The ROM Monitor commands allow you to set a number of EEPROMparameters. Some of these parameters, like the unit’s Internet address, arerequired for booting the Micro-CS; some parameters, like the broadcastaddress, are required if the network configuration differs from thesupplied defaults. Table 3-1 lists the ROM Monitor commands.Other parameters, although not required, are recommended for theMicro-CS’s initial boot. Setting these parameters rather than using theassigned defaults minimizes errors during the initial boot. For example,setting the parameter that defines the preferred load host enables theMicro-CS to load by requesting assistance from a specific host rather thanby broadcasting that request to all hosts on the Ethernet.You can define the same parameters using the Network Administrator(na) program as you can using the ROM Monitor. ROM Monitorcommands generally provide data about current EEPROM parameters.When appropriate, they also display a prompt that allows the operator tochange those parameters. Default or current values for parameters aredisplayed in brackets. For example:Enter broadcast address [132.245.6.255]:At the prompt enter a different value or press the Return key toleave the displayed value unchanged.You can use unique abbreviations for all ROM Monitor commands excepterase. For example, enter boot as bo, and enter net as n. If you enter anabbreviation that is not unique enough, an error message is displayed onthe console terminal.
