format
HH[:MM[:SS]])
. You are shown the current date and time. If you set the date to
0/0/0
, the real-time
clock will be disabled.
Note:
This router is Y2K compliant. If you choose to only enter 2 digits for the year, values greater than 93
translate to 19xx. Values less or equal to 93 translate to 20xx. The router has a one-hundred-year date range
(from 1994 to 2093).
If the date is set to 0, the real-time clock is disabled for long-term storage.
The time and date fields are overwritten by the GUI, when the router is configured by a PC. The time and
date values are then read from the PC.
Option 7: Set Console Baud Rate
Select
7
to alter the baud rate that is used by the router to communicate over the Console port with the
terminal emulation program. You can override the default rate of 9600. Remember to set the identical baud
rate in your terminal emulation program.
Option 8: Start Extended Diagnostics
Manual boot mode allows you to run extended diagnostics. You may want to run extended diagnostics if you
suspect a hardware problem. If you select
8
from the main boot procedure menu, you will see the following
display:
[1] DRAM test
[2] Parity test
[3] POST firmware CRC test
[4] Real-Time Clock chip test
[5] Timers and Interrupts test
[6] Multi-port UART (internal loopback) test
[7] Multi-port HDLC (internal loopback) test
[8] SCC2 External Loopback test
[9] SCC3 External Loopback test
[a] SCC4 External Loopback test
[b] Ethernet Transceiver (internal loopback) test
[-] Deselect all tests
[+] Select all tests
[.] Run selected tests
[#] Enter debugger
[/] Exit extended diagnostics (reboot)
Enter the number of each test that you would like to run or select all tests. Then enter “
.
” to begin diagnostic
testing. (All of the tests are automatically run when you power up or reboot the router.) A debugging mode is
available for use primarily when you have encountered a serious problem, in consultation with customer
support services.
Note:
Boot diagnostics are only available on routers with the MC68EN360 processor.
