MSS User Guide 6: Troubleshooting
6-5
CHANGE DHCP {Enabled, Disabled}
Enables or disables the sending of DHCP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled
by default.
CHANGE HARDWARE xx-xx-xx
Specifies the last three numbers of the device server's Ethernet address. The first three
numbers will be supplied automatically.
The Ethernet address should have been set at the factory. Setting an incorrect address
could cause serious network problems.
CHANGE IPADDRESS ip_address
Specifies this device server's IP address. Uses the standard numeric format.
CHANGE LOADHOST ip_address
Specifies the host attempting to load the firmware. The IP address should be in standard
numeric format (no text names are allowed).
CHANGE RARP {ENABLED, DISABLED}
Enables or disables the sending of RARP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled
by default.
CHANGE SECONDARY ip_address
Specifies a backup loadhost. The IP address should be in standard numeric format (no
text names are allowed). The backup loadhost will be queried if the primary host cannot
load the device server.
CHANGE SOFTWARE filename
Specifies the name of the file to load. The MSS will automatically add .SYS to the
filename you specify. Note that all protocols must have a filename specified (either the
default or set by the user). For more information, see 8: Updating Software.
TCP/IP users must use the Software option to specify the loadhost, the loadfile, and their
own network address.
TFTP users can specify a complete path name (up to 31 characters) if the file is located
in a directory other than the default. The case of the filename must match that of the
filename loaded onto the host computer.
SHOW SERVER
Use this command before and/or after issuing other commands to view the current MSS
setup.
FLUSH NVR
This command is used to restore the MSS non-volatile RAM to its factory default settings.
It will reset everything that is configurable on the device server, including the unit's IP
address.
FLASH
This command will force the MSS to download new operational code and reload it into
Flash ROM. This is necessary when a new version of software is released and you wish
to upgrade your unit. If the device server cannot download the file, the code in Flash
ROM will still be usable.
