UC-7110 Series User’s Manual

Configuring UC-7110

Loading Factory Defaults

The easiest way to “Load Factory Default” is with “Upgrade User directory.” Refer to the previous section “How to Upgrade User Directory” for an introduction.

Mirroring the Application Program and Configuration

For some applications, you may need to “Mirror” (or sometimes we said “Ghost”) one UC-7110’s user directory, and duplicate it to other UC-7110s.

To do this, use the following recommended procedure:

1.Backup the user directory to a PC.

(Refer to the previous topic User Directory BackupUC-7110 to a PC.)

Hint:

/ramdisk>backupfs /ramdisk/<user defined file name>

2.Download the backed up user directory to the other UC-7110. (Refer to the previous topic Upgrading the User Directory)

Hint:

/ramdisk>bf /ramdisk/<User directory file name>

How to Autostart User Applications on Bootup

Edit the /etc/rc file by adding your application program. E.g.,

/ap-directory/ap-program &

Checking the Kernel and User Directory Versions

Use the following commands to check the version of the kernel and root file system:

To check the kernel version:

/>kversion

To check the user directory version:

/>cat /etc/version
