Don't know what exact procedure you are using to Nindy, but here is the one I have. Maybe you are doing something different? Max 1800 · With all cables and power removed remove all cards from the box, open the case and orient the LEDs toward you (the front). · Locate P5 and short it. · On the S interface box it is next to the battery. · On the U interface it is located at the top center of the box next to the ribbon cable. · Attach the serial and power cables. Power up at 57600 N-8-1 no flow-control · At the > prompt enter DF then upload the correct version of firmware. It should be around 900k. Down load the software using Xmodem 57600-N-8-1 no flowcontrol. · Power down the unit then remove the jumper from P5 and put the cover back on · Reconfigure the terminal/serial connection for 9600 and configure the Max, or use the configurator. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Max 2000 · With all cables and power removed remove all cards from the box, open the case and orient the LEDs toward you (the front). · Locate P10 and short it. It is located in the front right corner of the motherboard next to a ribbon cable. · Attach the serial and power cables. Power up at 57600 N-8-1 no flow-control · At the > prompt enter DF then upload the correct version of firmware. Down load the software using Xmodem 57600-N-8-1 no flowcontrol. · Power down the unit, remove the jumper from P10 and put the cover back on · Reconfigure the terminal/serial connection for 9600 and configure the Max, or use the configurator. After this, I can't really say much more about it. I've done a few 6K/3K's, TNT's, and Pipes, but nothing THAT old ;-) - David -----Original Message----- From: Bob Bradlee [mailto:Bob at Bradlee.org] Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 11:29 AM To: ascend-users at bungi.com Subject: [Ascend] (ASCEND) Nindy problems with MX1800 and MX2000 I have several BRI lines coming into the house feeding an MAX1800, it has come to the point where I need to upgrade the MAX as it no longer handshakes with the MAX4004 on the other end. I am not sure what happened but they tell me I need to upgrade the MX1800 from 4.6cp8 something 6.x or later, I chose to use 7.0.28. Piece of Cake, I grabbed a laptop, connected up and and much to my dismay CtL'D does not give me Download as an option ? I don't care about the existing config, so I pop the box open, set the jumper, switched to 56k and powered up forcing a Nindy. Got the Nindy banner and prompt => as expected but then it just sits ignoring all Input. :( I refuse to be slowed down, so I run over to the shop and grab a MX2000 that I robbed the 56k cards from last year, and an 8BRIT card and head home with a big smile on my face. To make a long story short, it turns out the MX2000 was "scraped" and written off the books well over a year ago and the "Password" is now lost. So I pop the top, plug the jumper, start Nindy and it responds just like the MX1800 just sitting there ignoring all input. Thinking my laptop was getting even with me for my ignoring it, , I grabbed a Pipeline 75, poped the cover, and Nindyed sucessfully. A second try with both the 1800 and 2000, produced no joy. I did a second P85 which is now holding one line up untill I get the 1800 or 2000/8brit working. I plan on picking up a second bare MX2000 later this afternoon. That way I have a spare to destroy, if I reach "that magic point", this weekend :( I hope someone can point out what I am overlooking ! It has been several years since I kicked this sleeping dog, I should not be supprised that I got bit :) Thanks in advance, Bob ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com Archives: http://www.nexial.com/mailinglists/
