How to store an alternate configuration

On the HiLCOS devices, it's of course possible to reset the device with a factory config.
To do that, the reset button must be pressed 6 sec or you can type the command "do Other/Reset-Config" via the command line interface.

But it's also possible to store an alternate default config file, or let's just say an alternate config file activable using the reset button.

To do that:

- Configure a device with the configuration you think appropriate as "alternate" config file
- Via the command line interface type the command "bootconfig -s 2" (details of the bootconfig at the end of this how-to)

Typing this command, the running config becomes the alternate config.

To activate this config, the reset button must be pressed 16 seconds.
When rebooting, the device will load the alternate config.


bootconfig command:
Usage: bootconfig action [slot]
