Deleting Configuration Files
Erasing a
Configuration
Erase a configuration file from the iBox’s NVRAM before downloading a new code
file into FLASH memory, unless the code file is exactly the same as the one that was
in use before the download.
There are two ways to erase a configuration file from the iBox memory:
Restoring the
Default
Configuration
Step Action
1
Reboot the iBox. While it is starting, press the ESCAPE key.
Result: The following message appears:
Are you sure you wish to generate a
default configuration [y\n]?
2
Type Y and press ENTER
Result: The configuration restores to default.
Erasing the
Configuration
File

With a terminal connected to the iBox 68K Monitor, type DHW (Display
HardWare) or SI (System Information) on older units.
Result: A listing of information, including the start address and size of
the NVRAM used for the configuration file, displays. The
NVRAM end address can be calculated by adding the NVRAM
size to the NVRAM start address.

ENTER.
