2.3.3 Installation Configuration
For any type of Communication Server (CPU7-2 board, CS-2 board or Appliance Server), the default
configuration of the V24 port is:
• Speed, 9600 bds.
• 8 bits.
• No parity.
• 1 stop bit.
• XON/XOFF
Connect a terminal with VT100 emulation (,Hyper-terminal, PuTTY, minicom, etc.).
Connect the Communication Server to the installation server PC using a crossed Ethernet cable or a
hub or switch. For an Appliance Server, use Ethernet connector 1.
Appliance Servers must have an up to date version of the BIOS. For more information, refer to
Document [25].
CS-2 boards must have BIOS version 8.3 or higher. If this is not the case, return the board to the after-
sales department.
CPU7-2 boards must have BIOS version 3BA24115AAFC or higher. If this is not the case, return the
board to the after-sales department.
To check BIOS version on a CPU7-2:
1. Log in as root
2. Launch a command line and type the uhwconf command
3. The output of this command is for example : BIOS Version : 3BA24115AAEB
4. Check the BIOS version
BIOS version must be greater than or equal to 3BA24115AAFC bscpu7300/004.003.
If the BIOS version is lower than 3BA24115AAFC bscpu7300/004.003: the BIOS update is
required.
Caution:
As the OmniPCX Enterprise PC Installer application runs the TFTP, FTP, and DHCP servers, standard
installation of a Communication Server is performed outside the client LAN and therefore requires a
direct Ethernet connection between the Communication Server and the installation server PC.
To update the BIOS version, follow this procedure:
1. Login to the CPU7-2 using the root account
2. Use ftp/sftp to transfer the bsp_cpu7.hex file to the /tmpd folder of the OmniPCX Enterprise node
for which the BIOS has to be updated
3. Use the cp command to copy the BIOS binary file bsp_cpu7.hex to the location /usr2/downbin/
Example:
[root@cpu7s2_33 tmpd]# cp /tmpd/bsp_cpu7.hex /usr2/downbin/bsp_cpu7.hex
4. Click y (yes) to overwrite the existing file
Example:
cp: overwrite `/usr2/downbin/bsp_cpu7.hex'? y
[root@cpu7s2_33 tmpd]#
5. Reboot the CPU-7 2
During BIOS reboot, the BIOS is automatically flashed if the existing BIOS version is lower than the
version placed in /usr2/downbin/bsp_cpu7.hex
6. When the flash is completed, reboot the CPU7-2 again
The CPU boots with the new BIOS
Caution:
During flashing, do not hard reboot the board and do not remove the power.
