IBM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Read This First

Read this carefully

Before starting the installation, please check that your DMM(s) or EC-DMM(s) has(have) the requested memory.
For that, issue, for each DMM or EC-DMM, the following command:

 show module x.all verbose

where x is the slot where your DMM resides.

This show command should return:

CPU RAM Size (Mb): 5

FLASH Memory (Mb): 3

If you have:

CPU RAM Size (Mb): 5

FLASH Memory (Mb): 2
that is valid for DMM v3.01, but that is not enough for DMM v4.11 or later. If you try to load DMM v4.11 or later
on a DMM v3.01 that has sufficient RAM, but not enough FLASH, it will refuse to start the download, asking for
memory upgrade.

If you have:

CPU RAM Size (Mb): 3

FLASH Memory (Mb): 2
then you may only run 2.x levels of DMM Operational code.

If you have one of the last two cases, the DMM Memory upgrade MES (FC 8932), that provides both extra RAM
and FLASH memory, should be installed. If you have it, read Distributed Management Module Memory Upgrade,
part number 29H4293, and/or contact your IBM representative for further needs.

IBM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Note related to High-End Token-Ring Medium Access Control Card

Before starting the installation, please carefully read the following:

 To exercise the High-End Token Ring Medium Access Control Card (HTMAC) facilities, it is mandatory that

the Management Module(s) (DMM, EC-DMM or Advanced DMM/Controller) of your 8260 Nways(*) Multi­protocol Switching Hub be at least at level v4.11 or later. It is recommanded to work with the latest released
Operational Code levels, that are v5.25 for the Management Module and v1.15 for the Controller (parts of that
same EC).

 The 8260 HTMAC Operational Code supports, since v2.00, Enterprise Communication Analysis Module

(ECAM). ECAM is an advanced embedded application which provides RMON extensions to IBM Nways(*)
Campus Manager - Remote Monitor, version 2 or later.

HTMAC Operational Code v2.10 also contains some fixes for problems that were in Operational Code v1.xx or
v2.0x. It is recommended to upgrade all HTMACs to v2.10, even if ECAM will not be used.

When upgrading HTMAC Operational Code to v2.10, any RMON configured parameters (e. g. alarms, filters)
will be lost. These parameters will need to be reconfigured after HTMAC Operational Code v2.10 is down­loaded.

 The 8260 HTMAC Boot Code v1.01 contains a fix for using HTMAC with 16 MB of memory (FC 8996).

HTMAC Boot Code v1.01 must be loaded on the card prior to using the 16 MB memory modules. If not
possible, please contact your IBM representative.

For additional informations about the High-End Token Ring Medium Access Control Card (HTMAC) and its
embedded Enterprise Communication Analysis Module (ECAM), please refer to the Release Note, part number P/N
42L2467.

 Terminal emulation: VT100 (preferred)

 Duplex: Full

 Flow Control: None

For download In-Band method.

The DMM provides a download In-Band feature that allows you to update your DMM or modules operational or boot
EPROMs using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).

You must check the following prerequisites prior to initiating the download.

 Have a TFTP server on the network to perform download In-Bands.
 Connect DMMs to be updated to the same network as the TFTP server.
 Verify IP connectivity from the TFTP server to the DMM.

Important

 If your TFTP server is running in a DOS environment:

Check that the current directory of your PC is the one containing the binary file you want to download when
you start the server.

 If your TFTP server is running in an OS/2 environment:

If the TFTP server has been started in foreground session, check that you gave restricted access to the directory
where the binary file resides (in opposition with the TFTP server started by INETD super server).

 If your TFTP server is running in an AIX environment:

Ensure the binary file may be read by everyone. If a file 'tftpaccess.ctl' exists in /etc, be sure that at least one
'allow' line is provided to allow access to the path where the file resides.

 For more on that, see below the details in the section Download In-Band.

Upgrading the E-MAC and/or T-MAC Boot and/or
Operational Codes

Creating the Software on a DOS or OS/2 Workstation

Important Preliminary Step

This is a necessary step if you plan:

 To use the out-of-band method for downloading the Ethernet Medium Access Control Card (E-MAC) and/or

Token Ring Medium Access Control Card (T-MAC) software microcode(s) from a DOS or OS/2 platform.

 To use the in_band method for downloading the Ethernet Medium Access Control Card (E-MAC) and/or

Token Ring Medium Access Control Card (T-MAC) software microcode(s) from a DOS or OS/2 Workstation
acting as a TFTP server.

Note: The Ethernet Medium Access Control Card (E-MAC) software microcode requires 0.3 MB of hard disk
space, and the Token Ring Medium Access Control Card (T-MAC) microcode 0.6 MB.

1. Insert the third software distribution diskette, part number P/N 42L2524, in the DOS or OS/2 Workstation diskette
unit.

2. Run the unzipdos.exe or unzipos2.exe executable from the diskette (A:), i. e. type, when in DOS:
 a:unzipdos a:emacv300

 a:unzipdos a:tmacv400
or, when in OS/2:
 a:unzipos2 a:emacv300

 a:unzipos2 a:tmacv400

3. The executable will decompress, from the diskette into your current directory, the following software files:

 emacv101.bt: Code file.
 emacboot.cmd: ProComm DOS Command file for Boot code.
 emacv300.op:Operational Code file.
 emacoper.cmd: ProComm DOS Command File for Operational code.

 tmacv200.bt: Boot Code file.
 tmacboot.cmd: ProComm DOS Command file for Boot code.
 tmacv400.op:Operational Code file.
 tmacoper.cmd: ProComm DOS Command File for Operational code.
 (tmacv400.chp:TRchipset Code file.)
 (tmacchip.cmd: ProComm DOS Command File for TRchipset code.)

These last two items, related to TRchipset code, are not used in that step. They will be used later in chapter

Creating the Software on an AIX Workstation

Important Preliminary Step

This is a necessary step if you plan:

 To use the out-of-band method for downloading the T-MAC Token Ring Chipset and/or HTMAC Token Ring

Chipset software microcode(s) from an AIX Workstation.

 To use the in_band method for downloading the T-MAC Token Ring Chipset and/or HTMAC Token Ring

Chipset software microcode(s) from an AIX Workstation acting as a TFTP server.

Note: The T-MAC Token Ring Chipset software microcode requires 0.6 MB of hard disk space, and the HTMAC
Token Ring Chipset microcode 1.5 MB.

1. Insert the third software distribution diskette, part number P/N 42L2524, into the RISC System/6000 diskette unit.

2. Copy the unzipaix.exe executable and the tmacv400.zip and/or htmcv210.zip compressed files from the diskette
into your current directory.

 dosread unzipaix.exe unzip

(New name assigned is unzip).

 dosread tmacv400.zip tmacv400.zip
 dosread htmcv210.zip htmcv210.zip

3. Make the just created unzip executable:

 chmod a+rx unzip

4. Decompress the just created compressed file:
 ./unzip tmacv400.zip

 ./unzip htmcv210.zip
The unzip will decompress, within the current directory, the tmacv400.zip and/or htmcv210.zip compressed file(s),

and will produce six new files for each subset:

 (tmacv200.bt: Boot Code file.)
 (tmacboot.cmd: ProComm DOS Command file for Boot code.)
 (tmacv400.op: Operational Code file.)
 (tmacoper.cmd: ProComm DOS Command File for Operational code.)
 tmacv400.chp: TRchipset Code file.
 tmacchip.cmd: ProComm DOS Command File for TRchipset code.

 (htmcv101.bt: Boot Code file.)
 (htmcboot.cmd: ProComm DOS Command file for Boot code.)
 (htmcv210.op: Operational Code file.)
 (htmcoper.cmd: ProComm DOS Command File for Operational code.)
 htmcv100.chp: TRchipset Code file.
 htmcchip.cmd: ProComm DOS Command File for TRchipset code.

Only the last two items of each subset are used in that step. The first four ones were previously used in chapter
“Upgrading the E-MAC and/or T-MAC Boot and/or Operational Codes” on page 17.

5. Erase the executable and the compressed files:

 rm unzip
 rm tmacv400.zip
 rm htmcv210.zip

6. Make sure that the just created notice, command and software files may be read by everyone.

 Set path to the software file.

 chmod a+r tmacv400.chp
 chmod a+r tmacchip.cmd

 chmod a+r htmcv100.chp
 chmod a+r htmcchip.cmd

Download Out-of-Band

General Scenario

1. Establish the connection between your Workstation and the Management Module. Refer to the appropriate Installa­tion and Operations Guide or User's Guide.

2. Start the ASCII Terminal Emulator.

3. Start the download out-of-band procedure that pertains to the Management Module the terminal is connected to.

4. When the Management Module is expecting the file to be sent, start the send file procedure.

Scenario for UCDK Users

1. Establish the connection between your DOS station and the Management Module. Refer to the appropriate Installa­tion and Operations Guide or User's Guide.

2. Start the ProComm software.

3. After the terminal screen is displayed, press the 'Alt-B' keys to specify the path to the directory where your previ­ously decompressed software resides (in the 'PATH' input field).

4. Start the download out-of-band procedure that pertains to the Management Module the terminal is connected to, for
T-MAC Token Ring Chipset and/or HTMAC Token Ring Chipset module(s), i. e.:

 Enter the command:

– download out_of_band module <slot>.2 TRchipset

to initiate the download of the T-MAC Token Ring Chipset code on the Token Ring Medium Access
Control Card (T-MAC), or of the HTMAC Token Ring Chipset code on the High-End Token Ring
Medium Access Control Card (HTMAC), specified by slot information and subslot 2.

 When the Management Module is expecting the file to be sent

(you may see the 'Please initiate file transfer' prompt message):

a. Press the 'Alt-F5' key.
b. You must select:

– The tmacchip.cmd file, in order to initiate the download of the T-MAC TRchipset code version v4.00

on the Token Ring Medium Access Control Card (T-MAC).

– The htmcchip.cmd file, in order to initiate the download of the HTMAC TRchipset code version

v1.00 on the High-End Token Ring Medium Access Control Card (HTMAC).

c. File transfer progress will be indicated on the terminal until completion.
d. Verify that the code is now the updated version, by issuing the following command:

> show module <slot>.2 verbose

Download In-Band

The DMM provides an download In-Band feature that allows you to update 8260 modules using TFTP (Trivial File
Transfer Protocol).

Use the following procedure to perform an download In-Band:

1. Verify that the TFTP server is able to PING the DMM.

2. Be sure to have running TFTP Daemon on your server.

3. Check that the previously decompressed TRchipset Code files are on a directory of your TFTP server.

4. Configure the TFTP parameters in the DMM by issuing the following management commands as shown below:

a. > set tftp file_name <name of the file> (you may need a path)
b. > set tftp server_ip_address <ip address of your TFTP server>
c. > clear tftp result
d. > save tftp

Note: This can be accomplished either by TELNETing to the DMM, or by direct attachment to the DMM front

panel serial port via a RS-232 connection.

5. Issue the show tftp command to verify the TFTP parameters previously set.

> show tftp

6. For the T-MAC Token Ring Chipset and/or HTMAC Token Ring Chipset code upgrade, issue the appropriate
