CSMIM-T1 Hardware Installation Guide
The boot command accepts a file name for the CSMIM-T1’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
CSMIM-T1, boot requests the default file oper.56.enet. You can also
enter a file name using the image command.

The Remote Annex boots from the defined preferred load host (UNIX/IP,
Novell/IPX, or VAX VMS/MOP). If the preferred load host is not defined
or does not respond, the CSMIM-T1 broadcasts on the Ethernet and loads
from the first host that responds.

or does not respond, the CSMIM-T1 broadcasts on the Ethernet and loads
from the first host that responds.
To initiate loading, the CSMIM-T1 sends a load request message to the
selected host. After receiving a response, the CSMIM-T1 loads its
operational code to RAM memory. When loading is complete, it transfers
control to the newly-loaded program. The CSMIM-T1 displays a symbol
on the console for each data block received during the boot.

on the console for each data block received during the boot.
When the CSMIM-T1 begins to boot, it displays the load server host’s IP
address. If the unit does not boot successfully after several attempts, it
displays a boot attempt failed message; if the unit has opened the boot file
and an error occurs during the boot process, it displays a boot error report
on the console and returns to the ROM Monitor. The boot error report can
help determine the cause of the boot failure.

During a boot, the console may display four possible status symbols: “.”
indicates received data blocks, “?” indicates unanswered requests, “*”
indicates transmission errors, and “! ~XXXX~” is a status word from the
Ethernet chip on the Annex indicating a gross problem with the Ethernet
connection (if this symbol appears in your boot command display, contact
technical support).
