LG ipLDK-24/Nexer Rescuing procedure
Sometimes you need to rescue the Nexer (ipLDK-24) if e.g. an upgrade has failed.
To rescue a defective ipLDK-24 you need:
- PC with TFTP / BootP Service program, LAN port and serial port.
- V24/RS 232 serial technician cable.
- LAN patch cord used in the programming of LDK-24th
- MFB card for LDK-24
- Defective LDK-24 MPB cabinet (Basic enclosure with BFB and MPB and power supply).
This software is needed
- "Redningprg.zip" (TFTP / BootP Service program)
- "1.0Db_ldk24.bin" (file to boot LDK-24 with)
- "Redning24.zip" (zip file with this document (= Rescue_Nexer_ipLDK24.doc) and STI0053 (LDK-24 Booting via Ethernet). Two word documents.
The rescuing procedure is:
Install TFTP / BootP Service program.
Connect the PC with LAN cable to MPB short and serial cable to the MFB map.
Make a few commands in the TFTP / BootP Service program respectively HyperTerminal.
So boot the ipLDK-24/Nexer. (Switch off then on).
When LDK-24 is up and running send a few commands in the TFTP / BootP Service program respectively HyperTerminal.
After the rescue, upgrade the ipLDK-24/Nexer to the latest software.
Set up your PC as shown below:
PC is connected to the LDK-24 by:
The cable between the LAN port and MPB card and cable between the serial port and MFB board.
The program Cabletron TFTP / BootP service is installed by unzipping the zip file
"Redningprg.zip".
Run "setup.exe" and install the program on your PC.
Use the default settings so that the program will then come to lie under Programs / tftpboot / TFTPBootPService.
* 1)
Start up the program and see the picture below.
Then select the BootP Server tab at the bottom marked with a ring.
* 2)
Read the MAC address of LDK-24 MPB board. There is a label with the MAC address on the board.
Write it into the box MAC address.
LDK-24 MAC addresses often begin with 00-40-5A-12-xx-xx.
Use dash (minus) between hexadecimal
Enter an IP address for Cabletron TFTP / BootP service program.
If LDK-24, the default IP address 192.168.1.1 and your PC has the IP address 192.168.1.2, you
can write the IP address 192.168.1.3 in the IP Address box below.
Then click on Browse (marked with a ring) to tell the program where the desired software boot file for LDK-24 is located on your PC.
The file is named: "1.0Db_ldk24.bin"
Unlike the “*.Tar” files we usually use for upgrading an LDK-24, called the files “*.Bin” when to be booted via PC.
*3)
Browse to (i.e. find) the correct *. Bin file. Search for file types: "All Files".
There is a *. Bin file for each version of the ipLDK-24 / Nexer.
* 4)
Press Update to update the information as entered in the program.
This moves the data into the large field in the input field.
Remember to check read the MAC address and IP address!
* 5)
The data that has been entered has now moved into the big field.
Click on "Set Arp" button to the right and select
"Broadcast Reply to Bootp Request". (This is marked by an arrow).
See below how to do it.
* 6)
Start an MS-DOS window up.
This can be done by Start + Run + cmd.
In MS-DOS window, type: "arp-a"
C:\> arp -a
See the following result:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ethernet: 0.0.0.0 on Interface 0x1000003
Internet address Physical address Type
192.168.1.3 00-40-5a-12-d0-53 static
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It appears therefore from the CMD / MS-DOS window that the entered data is active.
If nothing is seen after typing "arp-a", the previous points must be checked.
* 7)
Now start up HyperTerminal or another terminal program.
The advantage of Hyper Terminal is that it is available as a standard part of Windows XP.
The pictures shown are with ProComm program that can be used instead of HyperTerminal .
The same commands are to be written to ipLDK-24 / Nexer.
Use 9600 baud as speed.
Select HyperTerminal as the active window.
Press Enter a few times, so that text displays in the HyperTerminal window.
While sending asterisks (*) to ipLDK-24 / Nexer MFB card via the serial cable, press the LDK -24 MPB card reset button. Stars (*) are send as “shift” + " ' ".
This is actually a difficult exercise!
If you see the following text in HyperTerminal, then the Nexer must be re-booted again:
"No, or bad ATMOS image"
When LDK-24 discovers the stars sent (*), then it asks if to boot from Ethernet (= PC), USB or Flash ROM (Flash ROM is the default, i.e. - Booting from MPB card).
Write an "E" as the Ethernet boot (= PC boot)
Now booting will happen from your PC through the TFTP server.
See picture below:
*8)
There will now be booted on the s/w 1.0Db bin file.
This is seen on the screen as dots.
When LDK-24 is up and running and working properly the s/w should be stored on MPB card.
To do this, you must login to the Nexer first. See below:
*9)
As you can see in the picture below, this is done as follows:
The many x 'is entering an IP address, often 10.0.0.03.
Write what is highlighted and underscored and press Enter after each command:
- Login : admin
- Password : admin
-
- --> system config save
- Wait for 'configuration saved' message...
- Saving configuration...
- -->
- Configuration saved.
-
- - - > c e
- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> flashfs
- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx flashfs> update
- Updating flash filing system ...
- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx flashfs>
-
- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx flashfs> rewrite boot.bin
- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx flashfs>
-
Now, the system is ready to be upgraded as we usually do to get LDK-24 up in latest software release.
See the next two pictures of how flashfs update command is executed.
You must wait for "done" then file system updated and saved.
* 10)
As I said, the system is ready to be upgraded as we usually do to get LDK-24 up in latest software release.
If the upgrade can not be performed because of the error message:
"Firmware upload failed, image too large", then the system must be reset to factory default:
Restart LDK-24 by the 'Restart' menu in Network Admin -> System with 'Reset to factory default settings' field checked.
