Operation
While the network subsystem is being loaded, a message of "Booting n of N" will
be displayed at the bottom of the screen, where n is the current byte, and N is the
total bytes to be loaded. When the network subsystem has finished booting, the
message will change to display the time and date the boot upload completed. If
the "Boot completed" message is not displayed and the "n of N" message remains
such that n is 0 or some number less than N, then the subsystem is either disabled
or malfunctioning. If malfunctioning, n may either move very slowly or stop before
reaching N.
From the M&C, the diagnostic consists of one line containing MAC, SPSR, SPD1R,
SPD2R and "n", respectively. H is hexadecimal; B is binary; D is decimal:
HH-HH-HH-HH-HH-HH HH BBBBBBBB HH BBBBBBBB HH BBBBBBBB DDDDD
Example of the network being disabled:
00-00-00-00-00-01 FF 11111111 FF 11111111 FF 11111111 0
Example at 2,678 bytes into booting the network controller:
00-00-00-00-00-01 80 10000000 FF 11111111 FF 11111111 2678
Example of boot completed at UTC time 12:55:57 10 Jan 2003, now waiting for a
connection :
00-00-00-00-00-01 06 00000110 01 00000001 00 00000000 12:55:57
