MD110 - New NIU

Not a run-of-the-mill fault, but problems were being experienced with an NIU writing to the CF disk. The NIU was replaced, but provided a different problem: The license server was always "busy". The reason is that on the NIU the EIC code is programmed, and this serial number must correspond with the EIC found in the license file. Having failed to assign the EIC to the new NIU, no verification was possible. This is the solution:

niux> readeic {This will show you what is written to the NIU. If not assigned, ffff and ff will be displayed}

niux> writeeic 9034 21 {Note how the IPA is written before the AS}

niux> readeic {should display the correct EIC}
