3.5 Converting from Network to Standalone MDR
To convert the MDR from Host based to Standalone, the following procedure may be
used. Essentially, the user downloads the file vxbp-nonet.txt from the Host in place of
the vxbp.txt file. This action configures the board for standalone operation.
1) On the MDR board, enter the Midas Monitor and delete vxbp.txt:
# midel vxbp.txt
2) On the Host, go to
<path>/mdr/etc, and retrieve the size of the file vxbp-
nonet.txt
(in bytes).
3) On the MDR board, type the following at the Midas Monitor prompt:
# mgf vxbp.txt <size>
Note: Use vxbp.txt and not vxbp-nonet.txt. This is because vxbp.txt is the name of
the target file on the board, while vxbp-nonet.txt is the file on the Host to be copied.
4) Within HyperTerminal, click on Transfer->Send, set Protocol=Xmodem and Browse
your computer to fetch file
<path>/mdr/etc/vxbp-nonet.txt. Then click on Send.
When the transfer is done, type 'quit' to reboot the board.
