The black art of LOLA The LOLA tool is used to reformat the CPU’s of the OxO in the event of a corruption or major change of software level. What follows will hopefully make using it less frustrating than normal. Pre requisites. 1. Make sure that you have the latest release (LoLa400 2.1 at time of writing) 2. Once installed I would suggest that you modify the registry entry so that LoLa does not try and use your wireless or other connections this is done by changing the entries for the IpAddress and COCPU_IP in the registry CURRENT_USER/Software/PCXTools/LoLa400_2.1/Lola/Config

I run my laptop with an alternate IP addressing scheme of 192.168.92.245/24 to fit in with the OxO’s native IP range but that is just my way.

3. Unpack the software distribution that you need to load and share the directory (this seems to get around the issue with LoLa not setting up the samba share properly)

At this point you should be ready to use LoLa. Before you start back up the current config from the OxO, I would suggest that you do a save to flash from within PM5/OMC as well as saving the .cdb to your laptop, just remember that if you are upgrading the SW on the system you will need to save the database with the PM5/OMC version that is correct for the new software level i.e. if you are going from V3.1 to V5.1 then save the database with OMC 510.XX.X.x as you will need to use this version to reload it after the change. If you wish to watch what is going on in the OxO while LoLa is running then using the V24 login type the following from the prompt on a terminal program (hyperterm, Procomm etc @115200 8 n 1) >swap_serial >alcatel This will change the V24 port from a login to trace, it requires a reboot to work but you will be doing that anyway for the LoLa, just remember to change it back if the V24 login is required in normal working. Once you have saved the database, shut the system down and change the position of the dip switch into LoLa mode. The dip switch position changes depending on the CPU type. On the standard CPU it is the four switch block central to the board, on the CPUe-x it is the block closest to the right hand edge of the board, then restart the system. The dip switch settings are shown in the LoLa help file [F1]. [email protected]

Start LoLa if you haven’t already and select the relevant options in the main screen

LoLa should select the relevant packages but not always, also just to make things awkward the country code in the OxO is AU, the software keys can be selected @ this point or loaded later, then proceed to next.

As you can see there are four options on this screen the usual one is ‘Installation’ the middle two are something that I will have to learn about in my next spare moment and the last one does not seem to work @ least not for me. Next > You will get a warning message asking you to check to make sure that you have half a brain and have switched things on!

The programmers have been indoctrinated into the Microsoft® way of thinking so do the

opposite of

Yul Brynner and just say YES!

LoLa will now start the TFTP and BOOTP servers, which will go do their thing.

Once the CPU has downloaded the (now in V5.1) 6 files LoLa will take over and start.

This interesting screen will tell you as little as possible about what is going on and you will hopefully get the following screen at the end of the process, if you don’t then whatever you do don’t think you are special ;-)

There cam be a significant pause at the end of the process which is the system flashing the bios on the CPU (recently done in most versions to cater for 40G HDD) this can take a while but don’t worry it will get there in the end. Once you have this you can shut down LoLa, switch off the OxO, reset the dip switch and then switch the system back on, I would suggest that you go through the initial setup wizard let the system reset and then load the saved database back in. That’s it problem LoLa’rd
