     fore_dnld -- download FORE Systems' microcode into host ATM adapter

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     fore_dnld [-3] [-i intf] [-d path] [-f objfile] [-r]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The fore_dnld utility downloads FORE Systems' microcode into the host ATM
     adapter(s).

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

     -i intf
	     Specify which ATM interface to download microcode to.  Default is
	     to load microcode into all FORE Systems host adapters.

     -d path
	     Specify the path to prepend to the objfile name.  Default is to
	     use current directory.

     -f objfile
	     Specify the microcode binary file.  Defaults are: sba200.obj for
	     SBA-200 adapters, sba200e.obj for SBA-200E adapters, and
	     pca200e.bin for PCA-200E adapters.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     For the PCA200E adapter, if no file is specified on the command line a
     built-in copy of version 4.1.12 microcode is used. When the option -3 is
     specified version 3.0.1 microcode is used instead.

     Microcode as distributed by FORE Systems is not ready for downloading
     directly into SBA host ATM adapters.  Instead, the supplied microcode
     needs to be processed with the objcopy(1) command to create an image
     suitable for downloading.	Arguments to objcopy(1) are ``-S -l -Fcoff''.

     Microcode as distributed by FORE Systems for the PCA host ATM adapter
     does not need to be processed.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]
