AC Software Maintenance

Overview

Files Managed by the AC
BootWare program file
The file is used to boot applications when the AC is started up. A complete BootWare program file
includes two segments: basic and extended.
Application file
WX5002 AC support the Dual Image function. By default, the system defines three application files for
booting: main, backup, and secure. If you have loaded the three application files into the Flash, the
system will use these three files to boot in order. For more information about the application files, refer
to section "Maintaining Application and Configuration Files in BootWare" on page 5-18.
The following gives the default names and types of the application files and their priorities for booting.
Main application file. The default name is main.bin, and the file type is M. It is the default application
file used for booting.
Backup application file. The default name is backup.bin, and the file type is B. When the boot using
the main application file fails, the system boots using the backup application file.
Secure application file. The default name is secure.bin, and the file type is S. When boot using the
backup application file fails, the system boots using the secure application file. If the boot using the
secure application file fails, the system prompts a boot failure.
The application files for system boot can be type M, B and S, but not type N/A (that is, types other
than M, B, and S).
You can modify the names of application files of type M, B and N/A except type S in the BootWare
menu or using commands after the application program boots.
The secure application file is the last resort for system boot. You cannot change the type of the
secure application file, or change other types of files to the secure application file. You can only
download it using the BootWare menu. If you change the name of the secure application file with
the rename command after the system boots, the file is removed from the Flash. To use the secure
application file, you need to download it again.
There is only one file of the same type (M, B, or S) in the Flash. For instance, if there is a file of type
M+B in the Flash, there will not be other files of type M or B. If the type of another file is changed to
B, the original type M+B file changes to a file of type M.
