Manually bootstrapping the Lantronix ETS16 terminal server
myke 6/24/00

When the ETS16 loses power for a while, the nvram fades and the unit
must be manually bootstrapped.  With the nvram corrupted the unit will
come up with a zero MAC address and stop at a "Boot>" prompt.

The easiest way to bootstrap the unit is to provide a TFTP server with
a TSCODE.SYS system image and an ETSCONF configuration file (text file
of configuration commands).

Type the following commands to set initial bootstrap parameters:

set server hardware 02-06-fd
set server ipaddress 192.168.10.100
set server loadhost 192.168.10.1

Assuming you have a TFTP host at 192.168.10.1, reinitialize the term
server:

init 451

The term server should now boot, but has no configuration information.
Hit return a few times until you get a "Username>" prompt.  Type in a
username, you should now be at the "local_1>" prompt.  Become
superuser:

su

The default password is "system".  Set the configuration file:

define server startupfile 192.168.10.1:ETSCONF

Assuming you have a configuration file ETSCONF, reinitialize the term
server:

init delay 0

The term server should now bootstrap into its normal running
configuration.  For example, it might be set to autotelnet to
192.168.10.1 and mark the port "secure", providing a restricted term
server command line.
