Chapter 4. Operation
Clear - Clear the System Microcode currently on hard disk and load a new System
Microcode from floppy diskette.
Enter - Provides for additional selection of required input.
Copy Systems Disks
System disks can be copied to the hard disk using the Media Management utility in
Configuration mode (refer to the SCON-20L/22L Configuration Manual and LINCS
Central Control manual for details).
1. Perform a power-on IML. At IML State 500, select Configuration mode.
2. Using the Media Management utility, copy each system disk to the hard drive.
3. Follow the IML procedure below.
IML Procedure
The following describes the procedure to IML the Console Concentrator using
LINCS software.
Power on or press IML.
The “mode prompt” appears on the LCD at state 500: IML 500 M=
At this state, the LINCS node will pause for five seconds waiting for input from the
operator keypad illustrated below. If nothing is specified within five seconds, the IML
will proceed.
Note: If no system customization has previously been performed, default
customization data objects will automatically be loaded. The Config
indicator will light to let you know that the default customization data
object is being loaded.
• ADV – Continue IML with system microcode. No extended BATs are executed.
• ALT, ADV – Same as ADV, but executes extended BATs during IML.
• DIAG – Enters Diagnostics mode.
• CONFIG – Loads default customization data objects instead of the ones defined
in the system subdirectory. This option is useful when a problem with the
customization data affects the operation of the LINCS node. This option allows
IML with default customization parameters without affecting the ones defined
in the system subdirectory. Loading the default configuration also allows you
to enter the Configuration utility without entering a password. Once the default
customization data objects have been loaded and the LINCS node has IMLed,
the data objects may be modified as desired.
• ALT, CONFIG – Same as CONFIG, but executes extended BATs during IML.
