NIU questions

[aprasha]

If I want to change the IP address of a NIU (command IONPC), do I have to change it in Niux (with netcnf e) or you can do it through MD?

This is because the Lan where the NIU's ethernet port was connected has changed before I could connect to the NIU, and now its ip is wrong and I need to change it(and the NIU is in another island!!). I've used the IONPC and started the card with RFBOI:BPOS, but still have no ping...

Another question about NIUs:

I'm ussing them for call logging (using the ethernet port) and I think if ethernet connection fails there's a buffer of about 2Mb of memory of call records (I'm not sure the amount). Do you know if there is a way of having a larger memory buffer? An externel HD or something.... I think it hasn't but I don't lose anything for making the question ;-)

And the last question,...I know u can see the MAC with IONPP and I think MD retrieves it automatically, but can u see this MAC directly with any command of the Niux?

Thank you very very much ....and merry Christmas to all!!!

reply to q1 : after you do IONPC you must do RFBOI of the NIU, that way ethernet parms will be set in NIU. you can offcourse do a IONPC and afterwards a netcnf e in niux if you don't want to restart NIU board.
in reply to q2, you can indeed program a backup for cil onto the hdu. check call logging section in Alex.

merry xmas

I've done the RFBOI of the NIU, but still have no ping. Are you sure the config in Niux is taken automatically from MD (IONPP) when you reboot the NIU with RFBOI?
I want to be sure because if it is so, I would have a LAN problem and that means travelling in Christmas !!

Thank you again!!

I also can verify dads explanation.
IONPC only doesn't set the netcnf in the niu.
Restart board after ionpc does.

This is easily checked with:
1)
IONPC logoff
Check netcnf e

2)
IONPC
RFBOI
Check netcnf e

You will see after 1) in netcnf there is no change.
but doing 2) the ethernet parms are set in the board (seen with netcnf e).


merryyyyyy x-mas from me tooooo.

It worked perfectly now. Thx both of you for your answers.
And now another simple question: can u restart the NIU board throw Niux? What happends if I set the board status to 0 (bdsve)? Can I set it after this to status 1 (bdsvi)? Does it help?

Thx very much!

Later revisions have ditched the start nif command .
In r13 a through
enhanced mode
>h niuxx
You could use the command:
niux>start nif all

to do this .

In later revisions of nif fw the start command
is not present.

To bad i think .
Comments anyone...........

And do u erase any data of the NIU or it's only as RFBOI?

Thanx!!!

start nif is the same as pulling the board..
