Editing ATS (section)

== Wipe out filesystem ==

Using the Din-to-serial cable (usually found hanging in cab6) connect to the left DIN port (adjacent to the NIC port) and the other end to your PC's serial port. Set speed to 9600 baud

Try hitting the carriage return a couple times to see if the card is alive (probably not). To reboot the card, pull it out of the housing, wait a few seconds, then replug it. You have about 30 sec to get back to the serial screen where you will see:

HARDWARE PARAMETERS:
  The date/time from RTC hardware:  11/13/2012 12:26:36
  This board's serial number is 9836AY0AC735100483
  This board's MAC Address is 00:06:67:21:EB:D6
  After board is reset, start-up code will wait 10 seconds

Press any key in 10 seconds to change these settings.
</pre>

At this point press a key where you will be prompted:

 Press A to Accept the settings, or M to Modify?

hit 'm' to modify.

It will then ask a series of questions:
 Enter the root password: ********
(our default root password)

 Reset configuration to default values (Y/N)? 
enter 'n'

For the next several questions we hit enter to accept the existing/current settings:

<pre>For each of the following questions, you can press <Return> to select the value shown in braces, or you can enter a new value.

NETWORK INTERFACE PARAMETERS:
Should this target obtain IP settings from the network?[N]
Static IP address [10.1.2.78]?
Subnet Mask IP address [255.255.255.0]?
Gateway address IP address [10.1.2.1]?
Host Name [ats8.johncompanies.com]?

SECURITY PARAMETERS:

Would you like to update the Root Password?[N]

HARDWARE PARAMETERS:

Would you like to update the RTC date/time?[N]</pre>


 Do you want to configure advanced settings? 
here we enter 'y' to get to advanced settings.

 Each development board must have a unique Ethernet MAC address.
 Set the board's Ethernet MAC Address[00:06:67:21:EB:D6]?
hit enter

 Do you want to completely erase the file system? 
enter 'y'

<pre>Erasing the file system will wipe out any and all driver and data files
stored on the board. Doing this, however, will initialize PowerAlert to
a default configuration. When PowerAlert starts you will need to use FTP
to put a new 'pwralert.dat' file onto the board.

Are you sure you want to completely erase the file system?</pre>
enter 'y'

Hit enter to accept default/current for the next 2 questions:
<pre>
The file system will be erased during initialization.

How long (in seconds) should CPU delay before starting up[10]?


Default Ethernet setting (0=Auto, 1=10 Half, 2=10 Full, 3=100 Half, 4=100 Full) [100 Full]?

Saving the changes in NV memory...Done.</pre>

Now the ATS will reboot itself:
