In the event of a failed file transfer, a failed transfer message prompt
will be issued by the AccessBuilder.
The AccessBuilder server then resets and resumes normal operation.
The download/upload procedure is now complete.
The image download procedure is handled by the AccessBuilder's
internal executive monitor firmware, called "nindy". Normally, when
an image download is completed, the new image is copied into Flash
memory and the AccessBuilder automatically resets. In the event an
image download fails, the AccessBuilder should reset with the old
image. There is a possibility, however, that during the download
attempt a failure could occur which would erase the old image.
Should this occur, the AccessBuilder remains in the nindy mode and
cannot automatically reset. To recover, perform the procedures on
page B-9.
