In the unlikely event of hardware failure the Door PC can be replaced while the router is
“On Air”. Crosspoints can be set from external controllers during the upgrade process. This
section describes the process that needs to be followed to remove the old Door PC and fit a
new Door PC. The Door PC comes with Windows XP and Workbench pre-installed.

around 1 hour.
