4.2 Software failsafe recovery procedure
In the event the device software becomes inoperable and a regular software update cannot be performed, due to
a failed software update or abnormal data corruption, this section can be consulted for the applicable software
recovery procedure. Prior to following this procedure, please check the following, in the event that the issue is
not related to software functionality:
•
Ensure the proper power supply is being used and is connected to a good power source.
•
Check that applicable power indicators/panel buttons are lit and device hardware appears to be otherwise
in working order.
•
If network communication with the device is not working, ensure network cabling and interconnect
hardware is functioning, ensure the proper IP address is being used to connect to the device, is unique on
the network, and that the system being used to connect to the device has a unique IP on the same
network subnet. Consult the
section for details on recovering from an unknown IP
address.
After checking that these conditions are met, the following procedure can be used to recover from a corrupted
firmware issue, depending on the system type.

procedure is used if the normal system
firmware is unaccessible. Please consult that section for additional details.
