Forced Reload Procedure - Avaya AP-4 User Manual

Forced Reload Procedure

Use this procedure to erase the current AP Image and download a new AP
Image. In some cases, specifically when a missing or corrupted AP Image
prevents successful booting, you may need to use ScanTool or the
Bootloader CLI to download a new executable AP Image.
Note: This does not delete the AP's configuration (in other words, the
Forced Reload Procedure does not reset to device to factory
defaults). If you need to force the AP to the factory default state
after loading a new AP image, use the
Procedure.
For this procedure, you will first erase the AP Image currently installed

serial cable (if using the Bootloader CLI) to reload firmware.
