The Reboot after Download field appears by default when the
RUNTIME method is used. If YES is selected, the MicroMMAC-T
will automatically reset after the image is downloaded into Flash to
load the new image into the active system file.
You can choose to use the BOOTPROM method also. It forces the device
to reset and reboot from the download server rather than from the image
stored in Flash.
To choose the BOOTPROM method:
1. Highlight the Download Method field
2. Toggle from RUNTIME to BOOTPROM using the spacebar.
When BOOTPROM is selected, the Commit to Flash toggle field
appears, replacing the Reboot after Download field. If YES is chosen,
the device will automatically replace the old image in Flash with the
new image. If NO is chosen, the new image will be downloaded into
active memory only, leaving the prior image in Flash unaffected and
available for use at next reset. The NO option allows the user to test a
new system file without losing the prior system file.
