How to enter the boot menu:

Connect Comwin with the v24 port with the settings above.
Press Reset Button and the following prompts will be observed.

How to format the NCUI board:

(Optional unless login details to the board are not known!)
(Low level format is also optional!)
NCUI2 Boot CLI]: y
Format the flash file system, all files will be deleted.
Do you want to format the flash file system y/[n]? y
Do you want to low-level format the flash file system y/[n]? n
Formatting the flash file system!
Format ok!

Uploading the software - Method 1: Using a PC on the LAN with TFTP Server

You will need a copy of the NCUI's loadware and make it available to that TFTP server as this is how the NCUI card gets its loadware. The loadware can be found on the system under:
:PDS:APSP/LTG/LGA0/PZKNCUI20 (NCUI2) or
:PDS:APSP/LTG/LGA0/PZKNCUI40 (NCUI2+/NCUI4) depending upon the board.
IMPORTANT:
There may of course be later versions in SWS.
  • Enter lower case to center the following settings (adjust IP addresses as necessary):
[NCUI2 Boot CLI]: c
'.' = clear field; '-' = go to previous field; ^D = quit
boot device : tffs/0 emac
processor number : 0
host name :
file name : SW_IMAGE.002 PZKNCI40
inet on ethernet (e) : 192.168.112.65:ffffff00 */ Change if needed
inet on backplane (b):
host inet (h) : 192.168.111.134
gateway inet (g) :
user (u) :
ftp password (pw) (blank = use rsh):
flags (f) : 0x1000 0x80
target name (tn) :
startup script (s) :
other (o) : emac
  • Optionally enter z to save the parameters for another time:
[NCUI2 Boot CLI]: z
Copy content of /tffs/bootline.act into /tffs/bootline.bck.
Write /tffs/bootline.act ok!
  • Enter w for the new image to be loaded and additionally the suffix image 001:
[NCUI2 Boot CLI]: w
SW_IMAGE.001 11/28/13 02:29:13
SW_IMAGE.002 11/22/13 08:21:30
Input a new suffix SW_IMAGE.x: 001
You should now see the LW transferring:
Attached TCP/IP interface to emac0.
Attaching network interface lo0... done.
Loading...
1448 bytes
.
.
10270624 bytes
Loading ok.
  • Now answer the question with y that the next boot should use this image:
Change bootline to the loaded image
and write bootline to TFFS (y/n)? y
  • Finally instruct the card to reboot with @:
[NCUI2 Boot CLI]: @

Uploading the Software - Method 2: Using an FTP Server

INFO:
The OpenScape 4000 itself can act as the FTP server, as shown in the example below.
Any FTP server can be used and you will need a valid FTP server with the loadware in the root directory of where the FTP client connects. The loadware can be found on the system under:
:PDS:APSP/LTG/LGA0/PZKNCUI20 (NCUI2) or
:PDS:APSP/LTG/LGA0/PZKNCUI40 (NCUI2+/NCUI4) depending upon the board.
IMPORTANT:
There may of course be later versions in SWS.
IMPORTANT:
If using the OpenScape 4000, the loadware will need to be copied into the root directory of: PDS: area. The IP “host inet” must then be the IP of the active CC (meaning CCA or CCB).
  • Enter lower case to c enter the following settings (adjust IP addresses as necessary):
[NCUI2 Boot CLI]: c
'.' = clear field; '-' = go to previous field; ^D = quit
boot device : tffs/0 emac
processor number : 0
host name :

gateway inet (g) : 192.168.112.254 */ Not needed for Direct Link AP

ftp password (pw) (blank = use rsh): hipath */ default password for 4K
flags (f) : 0x1000 0

  • Optionally enter z to save the parameters for another time:
[NCUI2 Boot CLI]: z
Copy content of /tffs/bootline.act into /tffs/bootline.bck.
Write /tffs/bootline.act ok!
  • Enter w for the new image to be loaded and additionally the suffix image 001:
[NCUI2 Boot CLI]: w
SW_IMAGE.001 11/28/13 02:29:13
SW_IMAGE.002 11/22/13 08:21:30
Input a new suffix SW_IMAGE.x: 001
  • You should now see the loadware transferring:
  • Now answer the question with y that the next boot should use this image:
Change bootline to the loaded image
and write bootline to TFFS (y/n)? y
  • Finally instruct the card to reboot with @:
