Appendix B
Boot Sequence and
Downloading Software
This appendix provides a description of the RICi-622GE boot procedure via an
ASCII terminal for downloading software.
The RICi-622GE software is stored in flash memory in two sections, in the boot
sector and in the file system. The boot sector holds a boot program that calls up
the rest of the program from the file system.
The file system can hold two compressed copies of the RICi-622GE code. One
copy is called the operating file, and the other is called the backup file. The
operating file is the default-executable RICi-622GE code. The backup file is used
whenever the operating file is absent or corrupted.
B.1 Booting RICi-622GE
RICi-622GE boots up automatically. After powering up, no user intervention is
required, except when the user wants to access the file system to modify or
update the software or the RICi-622GE configuration.
Accessing the Boot Manager
The Boot Manager menu is an option that allows the user to perform basic file
transfer operations. These operations are all optional.
³ To access the Boot Manager menu:
• Press <Enter> several times immediately after powering up RICi-622GE.
The Boot Manager menu is displayed (see
Figure B-1 ).
