installation was successful, see “Ensuring a Successful Installation” on

page 3-9.

After the ARN boots using its local software image and configuration file, the

Technician Interface login prompt appears.

Type the following command (noting the use of an uppercase “M”)

at the

Manager

The Technician Interface prompt ($) appears.

Note:

Since the default setting for finding the software image is local

;

you do

not have to change this setting for the local boot option.

Note:

If the ARN tries to local boot and cannot find a software image file or a

configuration file, it attempts to netboot once. If both attempts fail, the ARN

continues to local boot and netboot until it boots successfully. If the ARN

remains in this loop, follow the steps in “Interrupting the Boot Process” on

page 2-6

Note:

To check the contents of the router local file system on the installed

flash memory card, type

dir and press the Return key. The arn.exe software

image, config file, and inst_arn.bat file should appear among the files listed.
