I have an NTS-100i I bought second-hand a few years ago, and have run into what is likely a hardware issue. I had the unit shutdown for three or four months during some construction work, and last evening, I tried powering it up again.
The unit repeatedly cycles on the initial version message. The LCD lights up, the status LED turns RED, the initial version displays on the LCD, then goes blank as the LED turns off, then repeats this again and again without ever coming up. I had not used the serial port before, so I don't know if this is expected, but when I attach a serial terminal I see some self test messages appear, all say PASS, then it mentions mounting a flash device, then I get a '>' prompt. All F (function) commands give an error, and anything else I've tried just gives invalid command. Does anyone know whether this is an expensive fatal situation (buy a new unit) or is there something I can do to recover whatever has gone wrong? I don't have a flash image, but was curious if maybe all that has happened is the flash has been corrupted somehow. Thanks for any pointers! -- Ken Wellsch _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
