Using the ROM Monitor commands (see Chapter 3), you can:
❑ Modify and display a set of configuration parameters stored
in EEPROM.
❑ Execute interactive diagnostic tests.
❑ Receive information and statistics for the hardware
configuration and the network.
❑ Boot the Remote Annex 4000 manually.
Once the Remote Annex 4000 has obtained a boot image and is booted,
the console leaves the ROM monitor and displays the console monitor.
Refer to Chapter 2 for information on the console monitor.
Supported
Configurations
The Remote Annex 4000 can obtain full operational code over the
network from one of the following devices:
❑ Novell server.
❑ UNIX host.
❑ VMS host.
❑ Remote Annex 4000 Series configured as a load server.
You can also boot a Remote Annex 4000 from the Flash ROM (self-

Watchdog Timer
The Remote Annex 4000 has a watchdog timer that its software resets
at regular intervals. The watchdog timer reboots the Remote Annex
4000 in the unlikely event of an internal software error. This feature
enables the Remote Annex 4000 to run for long periods of time
without intervention.
