About the
Diagnostic
Console
The Cayman 3220-H diagnostic console lets you configure a Cayman
3220-H to boot and/or download its software from various sources.
The diagnostic console also lets you clear or program the Cayman
3220-H flash EPROM, which stores the main system software.
WARNING: Because you can accidentally erase or overwrite
the Cayman 3220-H boot settings or flash EPROM when you
use the diagnostic console, you should not use the diagnostic
console without conferring with Cayman Technical Support.
You communicate with the diagnostic console by connecting a
terminal or terminal emulator to the Cayman 3220-H maintenance
console port and restarting into diagnostic (EPROM) mode. To use
the Cayman 3220-H diagnostic console, you need a serial cable and
either a terminal or terminal emulator (such as a personal computer
with a terminal emulation application that supports 9600-baud
communication).
You can save the settings configured via the diagnostic console in
non-volatile memory so that they need not be entered at every boot.
An autoboot option lets you configure the Cayman 3220-H once:
after that, it will download or load the specified image every time it
is turned on.
