Image Files
— Files with extension
.ros
. Software images are saved in two
flash files called Image 1 and Image 2. The active image
contains the
active copy, while the other image contains a backup copy. The device
boots and runs from the active
image. If the active image is corrupted, the
system automatically boots from the non-active image. This is a safety
feature for faults occurring during the software upgrade process.
