Mode-firmsafeOnly one of the two firmware versions stored in the device can be active at any one time. When new firmware is loaded, the inactive firmware is overwritten. You can decide which firmware will be activated after the upload:

K'immediate': The first option is to load the new firmware and activate it immediately. The following situations can result:

–The new firmware is successfully loaded and then operates as desired. Everything is then in order.

–However, if the new firmware does not operate correctly, it may not be possible to communicate with the device after the restart. If an error occurs during the upload, the device automatically reactivates the previous firmware version and reboots the device.

K'login': To prevent problems caused by defective firmware, the second option will load the firmware and start it immediately.

–In contrast to the first option, the firmsafe will wait until it has successfully logged on (via telnet). The new firmware will only be permanently activated when the login occurs successfully within the time set under 'Timeout firmsafe'.
