Configuration data destroyed or corrupt

If the configuration data is destroyed or corrupted, the Digi console server automatically restores a
corrupted configuration file system to the factory default settings. However, if the Digi unit fails to
boot in spite of being reset to the factory default settings, the firmware can be restored by using the
Boot Loader program. To restore the Digi unit to the factory default configuration settings, you will
need to use a TFTP or BOOTP server to download the firmware from.
