In Recovery Mode, the RDMS uses the same addressing method (static or dynamic) that it was last configured with
to obtain an IP address. If it was configured with a static address, the RDMS will still be addressable via this static
address. If it was configured with DHCP, it is likely, though not guaranteed, that it will have the same IP address
that it last had; though this will depend on the DHCP server being utilized on the network. The IP address is not
configurable in Recovery Mode, but is displayed on the front panel.
While the system cannot be used operationally in this mode, there are three options for resuming normal operation:
1.
Boot Existing Version
2.
SD Card Update
3.
Network Update
15.1 Option 1 - Boot Existing Version
The first, and most straightforward, method to recover operation is by attempting to boot an existing version that is
stored on the RDMS. In order to provide redundancy, the RDMS retains up to two versions of firmware on the
device. If one version fails to boot, it is possible to retry booting into that version again, or to fall back to a previous
version.
When this option is chosen, the RDMS reboots and boots from the version selected, then it will update the front
panel and receivers, in order to match the selected version.
This option is possible through either the front panel or through the browser interface. Only one interface or the
other should be utilized.
Front Panel Recovery Boot
The available versions for a recovery boot are displayed on the front panel, as shown in Figure 326.
