4.1 Startup and Shutdown Procedures
The following sections describe the typical sequence of steps used to startup and shut-
down Freeway. Because startup and shutdown requirements might vary, you should
check with your system administrator to establish the best procedures for your site.
Note that Freeway is designed for continuous operation. Most sites leave the unit on-
line twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, shutting down only to perform main-
tenance or install upgrades.
4.1.1 Startup Procedures
This procedure assumes that you have already installed Freeway and it is fully opera-
tional on your network. Whenever you power up or reboot the system, Freeway first
executes system diagnostics. If the diagnostics are successful, the boot process is per-
formed automatically as specified by the
Flags boot parameter on page 151.
If the system boot succeeds, the following login prompt appears at the Freeway local
console (if one is currently connected):
Freeway User Login:
At this point you can log in to Freeway from the local console with the Freeway user
name (default is
simpact) and password (default is password):
Freeway User Login: simpact
Password:
password
Caution
The Freeway user name and password are used to access the
Freeway Interactive Menu. They are not to be confused with the
FTP user name and FTP password (which have defaults of
freeway
and password). The latter are Freeway system boot parameters
which are used between Freeway and the boot server during system
boot (see Section 4.5.1 on page 148).
