3300 NSU Programming 1

[bcarnot]

I have a 3300 that has lost it's programming.
Can someone walk me through the steps to flash the memory?

Currently the 3300 is showing me jiberious. I am connected via Procomm Plus @ 38400 N-8-1. when I type it is in english and I have connected before at this rate. And I believe from the past that this is the correct speed.

I have the files to FTP and I have IMAT. When I try to connect via IMAT (after changing my IP to 192.168.1.5) it does not connect.

I can not ping 192.168.1.1. I have tried stopping the boot process and typing "R" then uploading the B_loader.o file and no luck. I have also typed "qu 192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0" the "R" to reboot. I still can not connect.

I want to start with a clean slate, I can not find the steps...

Thank you for your time.

Are you using a cross over cable?

4.1 Method A = flash via Ethernet port of NSU
Initial setup conditions on the Laptop/PC
1. Connect the serial cable from Com port X to the maintenance port of NSU
2. Launch HyperTerminal (or similar communication) session for COM port X
3. Set the baud rate for COM port X to 38400, 8n1
4. Connect Ethernet cable (crossover cable) directly from the NIC card to the Ethernet port of NSU.
Note: If you have straight-through Ethernet cable, both NSU and PC-NIC should be connected to the network.
It is important that both NSU and PC should be in the same IP subnet; otherwise, proper gateway must be provided in the network
5. Disconnect the Fibre Cable from NSU to 3300 ICP during the re-flashing process.


Reset the NSU by hitting the reset button

Stop the “auto count-down” to set up Vxworks boot parameters
On the HyperTerminal, when you see the “Auto boot” with the count down from 3 to 1 as shown in Figure 1 during the NSU reboot, stop the “Auto boot” by hitting any keys except the space bar. Then [MC269AA Boot] prompt should appear.
Note: you have 3-second interval to stop. If you miss it, you have to reset NSU or wait for the next reset.

Change the Vxworks boot parameters
C.1 Type p at [MC269AA Boot] prompt to view your original boot parameters(see fig2 for reference)
C.2 Type c at [MC269AA Boot] prompt to change the boot parameters
C.3 Type qu at “Boot Device = flash0” line
C.4 Type enter 4 times to move the boot parameter to “Inet on ethernet ”
C.5 Type <ip address> at “inet on ethernet” (see figure 2 for reference)
C.6 Type enter 10 times to navigate to the end of boot parameters and back to [MC269AA Boot] prompt
C.7 Type p at [MC269AA Boot] prompt to confirm(see figure 2 for reference)
C.8 Once the boot parameters are confirmed
Type R at [MC269AA Boot] prompt to format the flash
C.9Reset the NSU once the format is done in less than 5 seconds
C.10top the “Auto-boot”
C.11Type Q at [MC269AA Boot] prompt to start the FTP deamon on the NSU.

Note: 1. To navigate in boot parameter, press “enter” to move to the next line if nothing is changed
Note 2. If you make mistake when typing, you can always type c at the [MC269AA Boot] prompt to go back and change because there is no backspace to allow you to correct typo.
Note 3: IP address at “inet on ethernet” should be in the format of
e.g. 192.168.10.20:ffffff00 where ffffff00 represents the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
Note 4: All the commands at the prompt are case sensitive


FTP 4 basic files (b_loader.cmd, b_loader.o, pri_fpga.bin, vxworks) from PC into NSU
D.1 Copy the basic 4 files from Product_ Support / NSU Flash folder in 3300 ICP software CD (rel 3.2 or higher) and save these files into your NSUFlash folder.
D.2 Open the DOS session and change to the directory (i.e. NSUFlash) e.g. Type cd \nsuflash
Note: this directory that you are at must contain the basic 4 files
Note: If this is PRI, make sure that all *.dba (approximately 13 files) from IMATDB are copied into this folder.
D.3 From DOS type ftp <IP address of NSU> ?- where <ip address of NSU>=192.168.10.20 (as e.g.)
D.4 Hit Enter key twice to ignore username and password
D.5 Type binary
D.6 Type prompt
D.7 Type hash
D.8 Type mput *
Note: Ignore the first 2 warning messages on the attempt to transfer “.” And “.” directory because they represent the root directory only. This process takes more than 5 minutes. You will see transfer complete.
D.9 Type bye to exit


Change the Boot Device back to Flash for normal boot sequence
E.1 Reset the NSU
E.2 Stop the “Auto boot”
E.3.Type c at [MC269AA Boot] prompt to change the boot parameters
E.4 Type flash at “Boot Device = qu0” line
E.5 Type enter key a number times to navigate to the end of boot parameter until [MC269AA Boot] prompt appears.
E.6 Type p at [MC269AA Boot] prompt to confirm the change of boot parameter
E.5 Type @ to reboot


Connect the fibre cable back to 3300 ICP and reset the NSU. NSU will download the files from 3300 ICP and will recover in 20~30 minutes time frame.

KWB - Thank you for your time and reply. I have followed your steps, and am having an issue creating an FTP connection to transfer the files. I am using Procomm and tried via DOS as well. PC is connected via Serial and Cross Over. IP of the PC is 192.168.1.5:255.255.255.0.

Below is a screen shot of the NSU configuration.
Thanks again for your help with this!!!

Close but you are missing one thing.

You need to put in an entry for the IP address of the FTP server (your PC IP address). You said that the IP is 192.168.1.5. Put that address into the Host Inet field in the NSU boot parameters.

Make sure that you also enable anonymous connections in your FTP server or create a specific user name and password and put that into the boot parameters as well (user and FTP Password fields).

What am I missing now ? :-(
I tried to add the host w/ the subnet and it did not seem to like that, so I just left it the IP assuming...

my bad bud. Haven't done Mitel in a week and I've already lost it, hahaha.

boot device : qu
unit number : 0
processor number : 0
host name : e=192.168.1.1 this should not be there, REMOVE.
file name : 255.255.255.0 this should not be there, REMOVE.
host inet (h) : 192.168.1.5 REMOVE
user (u) : test REMOVE
ftp password (pw) : test REMOVE

The steps are correct from kwbMitel.

I think I see where you went wrong in your post after the steps were attempted.

boot device : 0 qu

Thanks again for your help with this folks. I am assuming that the ffffff00 = Zero's not OOOOssss.

Still getting the same error.

So I grabbed another NSU (that I am also having problems with...) (don't ask) anyway,

This one says that it can not load the boot file, but I can access it through DOS. When I type "P"
Boot device: Flash
Unit number: 0
file name: Vxworks
inet on ethernet (e) :192.168.1.1
flags (f): 0x0
Target name (tn):NSUcsf2
Other (o): flash,c:/,xqt,b_loader.cmd

so I only changed the "boot device" to qu
Now through DOS, I get all the way to where you said "ignore the next 2 errors"
ftp> mput *
"Error opening local file NSU Flash.

Thanks again for the help. This is getting very fusturating on my end.

make sure you have a copy of your imat db or you know your settings as the below steps format the card for the new release

Get the 8.x release from MOL and extract the files that are in the zip to a folder on your C drive such as temp
you will see a folder called PRI_INSTALL
open that folder ther will be a file called pricard.zip
extract this to a folder such as PRIUPGRADE

in the PRIUPGRADE FOLDER you should have

hdlcmod.o
hdlc_drv.o
mitel.cfg
nastack.o
pri_fpga.bin
pri_sx2k.0
sx2k-na.cmd
vxworks
xnet.out





Have a cross over cable from your pc to the PRI Ethernet port

configure your nic on the pc for 192.168.1.100 subnet 255.255.255.0


connect to the card via serial cable 38400

reset the card by unplugging and waiting 5 secs and plugging back in

when countdown starts press any key

the type c (must be small)

change flash0 to qu by just typing qu

hit return all way to end

at >

hit R (must be caps) this enables the ethernet port

open a command prompt

change your directory to the PRIUPGRADE folder

then type
ftp 192.168.1.1

at the user prompt hit enter
and enter again at the pass prompt

now your logged in

type bin the hit enter
type hash then hit enter

then type mput *.*

wait till all files transfer after all the ########################################################################################################################

have gone by

then type bye

reset the card

at the countdown press any key

then type c

change qu to flash by typing flash (you do not need the zero you saw from before it gets put in automatically)

reboot the card

watch on the procromm screen and wait till you see waiting for release 8.x database

you can now use IP to connect to the card in IMAT

default address 192.168.1.1

save your old database to the card or type in a new DB

as soon as you upload the DB the card will work

That worked!
Thank you
