IPLink Software Configuration Guide

Load a new application image (IPLink software) via the serial link
The Bootloader supports the ‘X-Modem’ and ‘Y-Modem’ protocols to download application images via the
serial link of the console. Do the following to initiate the download:
Factory configuration
IPLink devices are delivered with a factory configuration stored in the logical region nvram: of the memory. It is
used to initially parameterize the network and component settings of IPLink software, which makes sense at the
very beginning. Moreover, in case of IPLink software malfunction, you can reset to the initial state by reloading
the factory configuration. The factory configuration consists of the default settings for the IP networking sub-
system.
Once the user-specific configuration is created and stored as startup configuration, the factory configuration is
no longer used but it remains in the persistent memory. It is possible to switch back to the factory configura-
tion at any time during the operation of an IPLink. See section
“Boot procedure”
on page 65 and section
“Start-up with factory configuration”
on page 68 for information on how to restore the factory configuration.
