Appendix J. The Boot SW
The VSAT has two SW applications installed:
1) Boot
2) DVB-RCS Application
The Boot SW is stored outside the file system and can be compared with the BIOS and MS-DOS on a PC.
It is used to have access to the file system and the LAN when there is no application loaded on the VSAT.
The Boot SW is always loaded after powering on the VSAT. But normally the user need not care about
the boot SW since the DVB-RCS application is loaded by default.
The boot-loader can only be accessed via RS-232 as described in Appendix A. After power on, an output
similar to this is displayed on the HyperTerminal:
Boot-loader
- SW ID 120044, Revision 14.0.0
File system initialized
Press return to enter boot-loader
In order to log on and use the boot SW, press return (the software will wait 10 seconds before
automatically loading the DVB-RCS application):
1. When Login is displayed type the user name install
2. When Password is displayed type dvbrcs
In the boot-loader a minimal CLI is available, supporting the file system commands and access to the
LAN. Type ? (question mark) to display the available CLI commands.
