1-5Remote Annex 2000 Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 1 Introduction
ROM Monitor commands are issued from a console terminal
connected to the console port on the Remote Annex 2000’s rear panel.
Using the ROM Monitor commands (see
Chapter 3), you can:
❑ Modify and display a set of configuration parameters stored
in EEPROM memory.
❑ Execute interactive diagnostic tests.
❑ Receive statistics on both the hardware configuration and the
network.
❑ Boot the Remote Annex 2000 manually.
Once the Remote Annex 2000 has obtained a boot image and is booted,
the console leaves the ROM monitor and displays the console monitor.
Refer to the Remote Annex Administrator’s Guide for UNIX for
information on the console monitor.
