Nortel VPN Router Installation — VPN Router 600
Chapter 5
Using recovery mode
The VPN Router 600 does not have a floppy disk drive, so the software image is
built into the onboard flash operating system. Recovery mode on the VPN Router
600 is also built into the flash operating system. You use recovery mode to restore
software to a VPN Router 600.
Some Web pages refer to “the recovery diskette” or “the diskette.” In the case of
the VPN Router 600, “the diskette” is a virtual diskette. In all other respects,
recovery mode on a VPN Router 600 works the same way that it does on VPN
Routers that have floppy disk drives.
To enter recovery mode:
1 Plug in the console cable, the LAN 0 cable, and the DC input cable from the
VPN Router 600 power supply (Figure 2 on page 31).
2 Start HyperTerminal (or another terminal emulation program) on your PC and
connect to the console port of the VPN Router 600.
3 Apply AC power to the power supply.
4 Press the RC (recovery) switch on the rear of the VPN Router 600 by
inserting a paper clip into the hole marked “RC” on the rear of the chassis
(Figure 2 on page 31). The RC switch is located between the LAN 0 cable and
the DC input cable.
Note: In addition, the VPN Router 600 does not have a Reset button. If
you need to reset a VPN Router 600, you remove power from the
gateway and then restore power.
