Verify and Upgrade rommon Version
Introduction
BTS routers are supplied pre–loaded with a version of the ROM monitor
(rommon) low–level operating system. Along with the IOS version, the
loaded rommon version should be verified as being the one required for
the network. Procedures in this section are used to verify the loaded
rommon version, and, if necessary, change it to the required version.
Methods are provided for using either a tftp server or CF memory card
reader to transfer the required rommon version to a BTS router’s CF
memory card.
Equipment and Software Required for Verification
The following items are required to perform rommon verification:
S A Windows–based computer which meets the requirements of the
LMF computer platform as specified in this manual.
S One of the following operating systems for the Windows–based
computer:
– Windows 2000
– Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) using the FAT32 file system
CAUTION
BTS router CF memory cards loaded using computers equipped
with Windows 98 versions earlier than Windows 98 SE and using
the FAT16 file system will not operate properly, resulting in a
complete site outage.
S Cable, rollover, as described in the Establishing a BTS Router
Communication Session section of this Appendix
S DB–9 plug–to–8–contact modular plug adapter as described in the
