Verify and Upgrade ROMmon Version
I-46 1X SC4812T–MC BTS Optimization/ATP 5/21/04
DRAFT
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, upgrade or 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.
Required Equipment and
Software
The following items are required to perform ROMmon version
verification and upgrade for both verification/upgrade methods:
S A Windows–based computer which meets the requirements of the
LMF computer platform as specified in 1X SC4812T BTS

design frames.
S One of the following operating systems for the Windows–based
computer:
– Windows 2000
– Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) using the FAT32 file system
