MGC Load Gold Image
If you suspect a problem with an MGC (or MGXPEC) card, its possible to erase all software and settings, and restore it to a virgin factory state. A master Gold software Image is held in non-volatile memory on the card, and can be used to re-install the boot software image as if new. After the process, run mgcsetup, and enter the cards IP address and call server information.
This procedure requires PHYSICAL ACCESS to the card, you need to be connected with a serial TTY (9600 8 N 1).
To load the Gold Image, reboot... after seeing "Creation date:", continue with:
- <ctrl>b
- At the prompt, type test
- Select b - Boot Options Menu,
- Select option 1 - Force MSP boot from Gold Image once.
- Select option 2 - Force CSP boot from Gold Image once.
- Press [return] to exit the Boot Options Menu.
- Press [return] to exit the System Test Menu.
- At the prompt, type reboot or @
Continue with mgcsetup from a VXWorks prompt (control-I after the VXWorks splash screen).
Enter the MGC's ELAN IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway address, and Primary Call Server IP address.
TLAN addresses and DSP configuration is obtained from the Call Server upon successful registration.
Reformat CF:
You can often revive a suspect MGC (or MGXPEC) by re-formatting the flash drive. The procedure is as above, but after a "Force CSP to boot from Gold Image once", during the re-boot, hit <ctrl>i and enter diskformat "all" at the VxWorks command prompt, followed by mgcIPClear to clear the IP settings.
The on board Compact Flash card will be reformatted and all data on it lost. Next, continue with mgcsetup.
Using PuTTY with a serial cable, watch the boot process, and press <ctrl>i when prompted:
*** To invoke install menu or bypass loadware upgrade enter CONTROL-I *** ///// press <ctrl>i (not echoed) Control I detected. To change configuration enter mgcsetup -> diskformat "all" Warning!!! The hard disk will be formated and all data will be lost. Do you want to proceed? (y/n/[a]bort) : y ///// drive is partitioned and formatted -> mgcIPClear -> reboot
The MGC should reboot with factory defaults, and prompt for a new IP configuration.
Note: After diskformat "all" and mgcIPClear, <ctrl>ldb won't work until after the call server downloads updates to the MGC.
Therefore, use <ctrl>i and mgcsetup to make configuration changes.
A New Gold Image
If the internal Gold Image is missing or corrupt, you can load a new Gold image onto the MCG card:
- Download the MGC APP Loadware (MGCAAA08 or MGCABA07), unzip it, and locate the mainos.st.Z file.
- Copy mainos.st.Z to the cards CF, and then use the following command to burn the flash.
-> copyImageToFlash "mainos.st.Z", 4 mainos.st.Z filesize = 1782766 Partition (4) has been selected .............. Erase partition Done!!! .............. Flash partition Done!!! value = 0 = 0x0 ->
