Administration > Boot Configuration

Boot configuration defines the settings for loading the operating system. In the event that the ACS fails to boot successfully, you can use the Boot Configuration form to change the boot settings.

The ACS can boot from its internal firmware or from the network. By default, the unit boots from Flash. If you need to boot from the network, install one TFTP or BOOTP server with the firmware to boot from, and then choose boot from network and fill in the fields. You may skip Flash test and RAM test for a faster boot.

1.From the top menu, select Administration; from the left menu, select Boot Configuration.

The system brings up the Boot Configuration form:

2. Complete the fields as follows:
