Remote Annex 2000 Description
The Remote Annex 2000 connects from 1 to 16 asynchronous serial
devices to host computers on a local area network (LAN).
Figure 1-4
illustrates a Remote Annex 2000.
Figure 1-4. The Remote Annex 2000
The Remote Annex 2000 complies with the Ethernet Revision 2.0 or
the IEEE 802.3 specifications using standard Ethernet 10Base2 (Thin),
10Base5 (Thick), or 10BaseT (twisted pair) as the physical medium.
Memory
The Remote Annex 2000 is a powerful 32-bit device that comes with
an Intel 80486 SXLC2 clock-doubled processor. The Remote Annex
2000 read-only memory (ROM) contains firmware for performing
power-up self-tests and loading operational code. A non-volatile
EEPROM stores the configuration parameters.
ROM Monitor
When the Remote Annex 2000 is first booted, the console displays the
ROM monitor prompt. The ROM monitor is an interactive command
interpreter that is used to define configuration parameters. All of the
information that the Remote Annex 2000 needs to find and boot an
operational image is defined using the ROM monitor and its
command set.
