System
Response to
File Mismatch
The iBox base system performs the following procedure after each reboot:
1. Every time the iBox reboots, a counter increments
2. If the iBox runs for two minutes without a reboot, the counter clears.
3. If the counter reaches 20, the base system invalidates the configuration and
forces a system reset.
4. When the iBox comes back up, the base system will sense the now-invalid
configuration and will either create a default configuration or load a backed-up
configuration, if one is available.
This process protects the system from file problems that might cause the system to
reset before the user can access WESMAINT to rectify the problem.
While a user can always directly default the configuration by pressing <ESC> during
the start-up sequence, this only works if the customer is physically present and
connected to the WESMAINT port.
